17" competition wheels
Bose
Blinds
Solar roof
Double glazing
A sport steering wheel (i think, looks like an s8 one but doesn't say S8?)
Heated Leather all round
Memory seat for driver
folding mirrors (including a pass mirror that lowers when reversing is that standard? )
debadged
Since i'm not sure what else is standardy standard for a 2.8 so i'll stop there.........

Im having to assume its a 2.8 sport, as it has sports s/wheel and lots of heater leather. Odd it has 17" rims though.. It would be highly unusual for it to be a non-sport with that kit, but post a photo and we'll confirm If it isn't a sport, you pick up at least 3 more points :-)

Extras (assuming its a sport)

Bose
Binds
Solar
Twin Pane
Heated rear seats

Score of 5 (pending photo review)...

For those of you who don't know the car, it is a 2002 FL in Dolphin Grey with leather/alcantara combination interior.

The factory/dealer options are :-

* Bose sound system
* TV tuner with teletext for Sat Nav Plus
* Electric rear blind and manual side blinds
* Heated rear seats
* Solar panel tilt/slide sunroof
* Autodipping interior and exterior mirrors
* Multifunction tiptronic steering wheel
* GSM Phone preparation in passenger arm rest
* Xenon plus headlights
* Servotronic speed sensitive power steering
* Enhanced Leather pack III including leather to lower half of dashboard, sides of transmission tunnel and alcantara covering to roof, parcelshelf and upper A/B/C pillars
* Rear seat entertainment including drop down Sony 7" screen, 10 disc Sony DVD changer and Sony playstation with 2 infra red headphones all colour co-ordinated and integrated seamlessly into the rear. Supplied with all instructions.
* 5 x 20" 9 spoke 'RS4 style' Final Edition wheels.

The only modifications which have been made to the car are an R8 oil filler cap and 'S' style valve caps

Ok, so I'm going to have to be strict in order to give anyone a chance of competing with Clive, who has my old motor

So, extra factory options are:

Bose
TV Tuner
Solar Roof
Auto Dip mirrors
Multifunction tip steering wheel
GSM phone prep
Xenon plus
Servotronic
Enhanced leather pack 3 (includes blinds & Heated rear seats)

The RS Entertainment was technically a dealer fit option, and I'm not sure as to whether the 20" wheels were definitely available to order at the time that car was built, so they might be more of an aftermarket enhancement, but at 9 points its a clear leader, and if anyone gets too close to that, I'm feeling fairly confident that Dolphin Grey may well have been special order paint, which would get another point in there.... I'd have to double check though

Were Clive's factory fitted options of A8Parts fitted options?

[CliveH]

A bit of both I think Richard, so we'll have to let Ian adjudicate on that, as he knows exactly what the answer is...

All original apart from the solar and multifunction wheel.....

Oli might be in with a chance on this, I was just looking through old threads on the photo gallery section of the forum.

OK, I'll give it a go, forgive some of my descriptions but I have the following fitted to my 2002 S8, in Avus Silver.

The factory options I have are :-

Bose sound system
TV tuner with teletext for Sat Nav Plus
Electric rear blind and manual side blinds
Heated rear seats
Metal Sunroof - dunno if this was optional
GSM Phone preparation in passenger arm rest
Xenon plus headlights
Servotronic speed sensitive power steering
Enhanced Leather pack III including leather to lower half of dashboard, sides of transmission tunnel and alcantara covering to roof, parcelshelf and upper A/B/C pillars
Rear seat entertainment including drop down Sony 7" screen, 10 disc Sony DVD changer and Sony playstation with 2 infra red headphones all colour co-ordinated and integrated seamlessly into the rear. This was factory fitted in my car.
5 x 20" 9 spoke 'RS4 style' Final Edition wheels.
Leather/Alcantara Recaro front seats with the rear seats trimmed in full leather.

Plus my car went through the Individual by quattro program. Some interesting trim and colour options, including the Avus Silver paint, tan/cream interior colour and black painted brake callipers. To be honest I can't say what of this was optional or not.

Hmmm... Sounds interesting, and rather a yummy colour combination too... Sunroof was standard in UK on D2, and its really interesting if you have half alcantara/leather front seats, but full leather rears... That would be unique... Photos would really help me decide exactly what you've got there !!

I'm afraid i won't beat a number of the people here as mine was a 4.2 Q (non sport) which had a lot of options put on afterwards by Ian and Dave....sports seats, sports suspension, RS entertainment pack to name a few....

I'll try and compete in the other categories though!
