Looked at your rear bumper and as mentioned before, tail pipes swap would be a piece of cake. 3" is the way to go but don't stick them out to much. Straight away I can see 2 upgrades which would transform the car to your S alike look. LED DRLs http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7192 ...and Carbon interior http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7220 ...and de-badged S8 grille as you mentioned it to transform the front http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7526

How do I get the main beam lights to work separately from dipped,I have just fitted a quality hid light set,led number plate lights,I fitted whiter brighter main beam bulbs and tried several sets of led side light bulbs but all kept putting error on dash even with extra resistors ? And all supposed to be can bus error free ? |

If Xenon and main halogen then sorry, my fault, you wont be able to do LED DRLs. The best Halogen bulbs are MTEC Super White ONLY (55W or 100W), or HOEN from USA only. Trust me, I've spend hundreds of pounds on testing most H7s on the market. Still have MTECs on the fogs, they are really really good mate. The only way you can get 501s side lights working without the error is if you fit 10W resistors with heatsink No other way http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/10w-res...-233-h6w-433c/ This fella (link above) sells MTECs as well. Never trust Error Free 501 bulbs, there is not a single bulb on the market around the globe which would work on D3s without additional errors. There is certain type also which will last a long time and wont fall into pieces because of the heat. I'm off to shop, I'll be back in 20 so fire up if you have more questions.

Car is very nice, but it needs bigger wheels. Carbon interior is a tough job for two, but read the old thread and it's all explained inc. cost. My wheels are German make, found them originally on a same D3 (colour) in USA, took me 7 months to get a set. Never seen a second set like mine (gunmetal with diamond cut face) They are S5 replicas, but better looking (the way spokes curve) Check Hartmann Wheels in USA They also have a HUGE online photo album of all sort of A8s on lots of different wheels. Lowering - VCDS (Vag) is BEST Be back soon mate

For halogens I strongly recommend MTEC Super White (55 or 100W main beam and 55W fogs) Sidelights Them http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/501-w5w...bulbs-white-1/ + This resistors, but keep them outside NOT inside the unit, connect resistor and stick it out of the unit and then close the cap http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/10w-res...-233-h6w-433c/
