Bob, are you suggesting that the downloadable speed trap stuff can be installed onto the Audi satnav systems...?

DS2 can't be detected anyway can it, it's sensors under the road?

Thanks for those! is it me or is there a lot of 'overhang' behind the rear wheels to the end of the car? As there is on a honda accord estate! The rear bumper looks a long way from the back wheels...

Oh, and that guy should look where he's going!

No roof rails makes the shape look different, they are going to fit them, aren't they?

Does look a bit ordinary...... but then Audi usually do that with their test cars, I am sure roof rails and a decrome will do it the power of good :rocker:

It just doesn't do it for me - I don't like the new front end and particularly the rear end. I liked the B6 shape and an RS version of that would have been a goer for me.

Hmm will have to wait and see the finished article in the flesh and drive it before I total write it off.

Mine is looking a little worn after 68k miles, but new wheel I was offered is not as thick as original wheel so declined kind offer of replacement. :roll:

When you say worn do you mean the alcantara is starting to bobble? I also had an M3csl and these all started to bobble after a few miles use. Try using a Bic type razor, this should get rid of the bobbles and smarten up the look of the steering wheel really well.
