I think I'm getting old, but I don't see the appeal of fitting air systems and slamming cars to the ground. Seems uncomfortable and complex to fix if it goes wrong.

I presume its used loads of boot space too, as we have no photos of that....
That was another thing I saw and forgot to mention. Both overhead panels have gouge marks around the edges where they have been levered off.

I agree with you about the aftermarket suspension, in the sense that it is uncomfortable. That's my opinion anyway having experienced it with the S8 and a big reason for reverting it back to normal air suspension. Not just uncomfortable, but it behaved differently to my D2, and on B roads that I could drive at 50mph, I was having to brake in places down to 30mph in the S8 (and that was with the height being set to a 'normal' stance).

There are more photos on the 503 website: https://www.503motoringsales.com/veh...330c9498c1e312
