Re: My new car and why i am back....
First little tinker under the bonnet .
new caps and header tank.
just gotta start with some cleaning now.
And once again good bit of advice of the forum so the coolant cap fits the correct way.

Speak to Dave Lever, mine was £14.42 plus VAT in August. (List price £16.76 plus VAT)I Icould accept they may have gone up briefly, but not over 100%.geordie jay wrote:much was the tank? I was quoted £30 without p&p from stoke audi...I know there cheaper than that so left it..

Re: My new car and why i am back....
Yeah thanks for complements.
It was about 17 pounds odd.. I remember with my Avant mind i paid about 30 odd pounds picked it up and it was the wrong one so i ordered the correct one and it came in at that price of about 17 pounds.
And once again cheaper form audi than Ebay for everything might have to start an ebay Shop lol..

Re: My new car and why i am back....
Sorry Divine its on 19 inch wheels only just seen your question.
And sorry for this post as well its the same as all the others but hey fitted my filter so thought you would need a photo lol.
After fitting and going for a little drive i was a bit well thats not much difference untill i got on the dual carriage way wozza,,, What a noise

Not a good picture of the mats but brought some original A4 rubber ones as i always love genuine rubber mats in my cars as you can see only a week n gee how much dirt have they stopped going on the carpet mats and a wipe they will be nice n clean only problem is the big A4 badge on them. Suppose i shouldn't forget the A4 roots..
O the fit of the mats is perfect..

Re: My new car and why i am back....
Thought id say about the carbon skinning kit i brought the other week.
Pretty impressed with the results.
it is genuine carbon that you have to stick down to the parts you want to cover,
then add a lacquer type resin. sand down re paint on repeat repeat.
cost about 50 pounds for the kit.
very tempted to do the inlet next but might go for the engine cover on the right next.
one of them things though if i started again id do a much better job.

Re: My new car and why i am back....
Added a bit more carbon today.
Although I'm not a fan of the mesh might try and change to the plastic grill but don't want to cut up a rs4 grill to do it.
