My 01 S8
In March of 2019, I purchased a 2001 S8. The car is black with black interior and has the Recaro seats. Here are the upgrades the car received before my ownership: a B5 S4 01E 6 speed manual transmission was swapped in, aftermarket mufflers and x-pipe, euro bi-xenon headlights and carbon fiber interior trim was installed. This is the first picture I took of the car when I picked it up from the previous owner.
Here are a few pics I took of the car when I got it back home. I did some maintenance to the car by installing new spark plugs and new D3 coils. Also I replaced the leaking valve cover gasket and while the valve covers were off, I painted them silver. I have replaced all the interior lights to LED lights and was annoyed that there wasn't a driver side foot well light. Come to find out that the HVAC foot well trim panel was cut up where the light needs to mounted to. Here is the replacement panel. Thank you MikkiJayne for helping me on this replacement panel. While I removed the old panel it looks like it was separated from the vent tube part and I had to pull that part out. I had to do some digging to find the wires for the foot well light which I eventually found but had to repair one of the wires. Here is the new panel installed.
