My LWB Build project

[M-A8]

This looks very impressive, literally Ultimate A8. Well done mate

Re: A5 headlights.
I thought you talking about this design as they actually look very similar


...but the ones from the picture look absolutely stunning on 8 I have to say, it's just not a straight swap.
Yes, near the wing bumper needs to be sculpt, but also bonnet needs a little work and bumper on the grill side, you sculpt a bit in line with top of the headlight, but they you also have to make up near the bottom corner of the headlight.

Shame I've just re-sprayed the whole front, but idea is rather interesting and it looks so good.

Then mounting points, that will require a bit of work as well I think.

If you do that, I will be well jealous

Great project, really impressive

For sale ... for sale ??? what ever do you mean

Well what I wanted I could not find any where I wanted a LWB with all the Toys

so I bought a sorry state LWB in black that's all I needed ... and as you can see I have built it up I have also done a compressor service and full cam belt water pump and new timing chains ..

oh and its got a 90L Lpg tank in the boot so its very cheap to run what more do I need a luxo barge fully loaded and returns 40+mpg

there is still much more to do to get it 100% perfect but its had New discs and pads all round rear callipers serviced with new seals ect

cant wait to facelift it its going to really look nice with a S8 Grill ect and of course the 2012 A5 headlights they look lovely lit up at night

I will take some pictures of the interior at night I have also fitted Audi Projectors to the doors so that when the doors are opened they look awesome

That is some going Guy - well done and don't stop.
