New Owner - Into the Lion's Den

Hello,

New owner here, bought the car in Germany and had a fantastic drive back to France, absolutely love the car, I can't believe how much fun it is.

Anyway, been reading this forum for a few weeks now, great information, thanks to all.

A few things to do - improve the iPod integration, TTRS wheel to replace MFSW, latest Navigation DVD, and so I will continue to pour the love in.

Just a quick question for now, does anyone know of a good Audi service center in the Cannes/Nice/Monaco area to recommend? Or an indy?

Right, I am ready, let me have it..

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Nice car in the best colour ;-)

Personally not a fan of black wheels on a dark car but each to their own.

Enjoy!

Be careful when pouring in the love, it's a bugger to get off the carpet.

Nice car - grey with black wheels looks lovely imv.

Looks lovely. Not a fan of the mirrors, but other than that, fantastic :)

Thanks for all comments.

Now, about those carpets, I was thinking of getting them in leather, easier to clean..

I found this recently, the black diamond-grain leather with the carbon textile heel pad looks good. Expensive, but just got the car so I am probably going to do it once before getting sensible about things. The company is Canadian but they are made and are shipped from the EU.

Does anybody have a set of these?

Steering wheel: I am working with an Ebay seller in the UK to get the wheel + airbag + emblem insert + RS4 emblem all together (needs some adjustment). Got the fit guide from this forum so I am hoping for a painless install.

Thanks again.

When you said leather floor mats my first thought was "Liberace"... But they do look very nice, has to be said. How much?

Yes, Liberace. Roger.

They are $350 shipped in the EU. Actually, that is SOME money.
