Does anyone know this car?
 
After a few years in my S8 D2 PF and S8 D2 FL I decided to go after a S8 D3

I have spotted a nice example here:

Does anyone know this car? I'm hoping that it might have belonged to a forum member in the past?

any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated

I don't recognise the car, but by the looks of it the spec isn't bad. Appears to have a Milltek exhaust or similar. Although it's got the wide DIS in the dash I don't think it's got adaptive cruise. Missing the square sensor in the front bumper

The flappy paddle extensions and headlight eyebrows are a matter of personal preference so really depends how it drives :)

I have spoken to the dealership, you are right Adrian there is no adaptive cruise.
Car was in the UK in years 2006 -2009, then exported to Jersey in 2009 and imported back in 2013. Car comes with fsh, new mot and 2 years warranty.

How hard would it be to change the bose system to bang & olufsen / would it be even possible ?

Anything is possible but I'd say cost prohibitive purely because the dash is almost certainly different or at least requires serious remodelling. You can get a quick Google will suggest someone has done it!

Actually the dash should be the same because the tweeters sit where the speaker grill is and its a cut down version of the normal one to allow the b and o tweeters fitment.

I believe there was a thread on here about it as the grill needed painting.

Either way it would be a massive undertaking and the wiring would be the biggest ball ache.

Have a look to see what part of the b & o wiring looks like

It would be good to know that the wheels are genuine Audi. Otherwise the car looks great

Wheels are genuine, got her yesterday.
After a 5h drive back home I was well impressed, I can’t get the smile off my face! It’s a completely different league.
The fuel consumption is a lot better than I thought; my s8 d2 and 08 mondeo 2.5t are not far behind with fuel cost.
Exhaust is not a miltek , it’s a custom made stainless steel set-up that sounds unreal. I feel so sorry 4 all my neighbours as I leave to work at 5am and get back at around 11-12pm

freakszajba 30th November 2014 09:35 AM

South Wales, I will post some good pics once I get it detailed.

You need to be careful making statements like that on here, the dinosaurs will become unsettled :ROFL:

Get a video posted once you have her detailed, I'd like to hear the noise she makes +++

Congratulations, great choice of car
