Can't wait for the pics.

Did you do the extra vanity mirrors for the rear and the twin vanity mirrors for the fronts?

What about the friday?

I was dribbling most of the way through your spec list and then when I got to the Audi A5 LED Headlights being a direst plug and play, well lets say I was getting ready to punch fists into the air! what an amazing mod!

I for one will be following this thread with great interest as, someone building the ultimate Audi A8 D3, well it's to be admired really... we all want the best for as little money as possible, and some of the things you are doing are not easy, so it's good to follow behind the braver ones who've gone through the pain of working it all out first!

Regards, Mark.

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

Twin Vanity on the fronts yes rear no .. was not in the headlining

2012 lights are plug and play yes however you will need to sculpt about 3 inches of the bumper as they are sweeping rather than straight .. but its straght forward

Nice.

More pictures!!

Looking forward to this..............possible way to much.

Turning headlights, AFS2?


That's interesting to know about the A5 lights.
Did they get the turning head light thingys like the A8s?
I assume that's for the 2008> facelifts not the 2006> facelifts?
