Hi all, just a quick hello - my new [57] S8 arrives tmrw so I thought i'd swat up on some things in advance.

Think the Milltek is a no brainer - i had one on my RS4 and the S8's on youtube sound awesome.

At a slightly lower testosterone level, I'm also thinking of an LPG conversion I have an Overfinch RR V8 on LPG and it runs great add to that 28mpg equiv around town and it has its appeal???

Nice car, I'm guessing you have most of the options?

only things that really seem to be missing are reverse camera and ceramics - i think i can live without them! I've been driving a '73 RSR rep i built earlier this year so to be honest i'm just looking forward to not spending 30 minutes defrosting the INSIDE of the windscreen and spending the first 5 miles of every journey freezing my bits off. Comfort and grunt, cant wait!

love these. such a comfy car with a great sound track. look forward to seeing some pics.

blonde question...i have a solar sunroof but there doesnt seem anyway to open the sunblind indepedently of the roof itself. I've asked at 2 Audi dealers and they dont know if it should open or not!?! Theres no 'handle' to pull it back and no obvious button to retract it.

The blind does move and tilt with the sunroof...any ideas??

I've added Milltek exhaust [sounds brilliant but i copped out and went for the resonanted version] and 20" Racing Dynamics Equinox wheels to try and fill the arches. Think i need to up the tyre width. The std 265's look a bit like bike tyres and are a little stretched on the RD rims. In fact i had to add 15mm spacers to get it looking something like and I'm tempted to stick these on fleebay and get a set of 21's to do the job properly?

Anyone know anything about lowering these? I think its an electronic box of tricks...

blind won't move except with the panel with a solar roof fitted - there's nothing to see and it isn't translucent on the underside

Not a big fan of the wheels - maybe some C6 RS6 or MTMs would suit it better? Nudenut's RS6 looks awesome on MTMs
