A little update. Drove to work this morning took all the windy b roads in the dark.
Obviously can not push it yet but the car is so fast it just feels quicker, lighter and holds the road so well, it just feels really planted. I even found myself with a big smile on my face on the way into work. Ok it doesn’t have the engine of the B8 but it is such an improvement overall the more miles you drive the better it seems to get.

I think the start stop will get switched off as it is cuts in all the time and is a bit irritating.

The matrix headlights are incredible once I found out how to turn them on lighting up sections of the road to the side of cars in front of you and automatically lowering with oncoming traffic.

Advance parking maybe be a little luxury to far but the 360 degree view of the car when parking is really helpful and the camera views at the front and rear side will be really helpful when creeping out of a junction with limited visibility.

The whole technology package is like jumping from an old Motorola brick phone to a smart phone, google maps Apple car play the sat nav even found my work which even some of the current up to date systems struggle with.

Tried to get registered with My Audi for Audi connect last night and it failed twice and I only get one more chance before I have to try and get a reset really frustrating and I don’t hold out much hope for the app so far.

Only 8 hrs or so until the drive home 

Do it!
You only live once.
You can't take it with you.
Live for the moment.
It's bloody good.

Am I helping?

In all seriousness it’s going for a detail and ceramic coating wheels off etc need to confirm dates and being a bit of a offset novice if you can give me more details what you are looking for I can try and answer the question.

Inside your wheel as pictured you will see theses figures thd first is the width of the wheel this one is from a SQ5
So from the figures shown this is 8.5 inches wide by 20 inches in diameter and has an offset the ET number of 33
We know the width and diamiter of thd B9 20" alloys we just dont have an off set number so if you give can take a picture like the one shown we will know which alloys will fit and if spacers are required for any after market alloys

Is that for the 19" or 20"? (I'm assuming the rims are a slightly different width)

Are you sure those are B9 Andy? Audi UK have sent me picture conforming 19s are ET26, not sure about 20s.
