What did you do with your c7 today?

[A6sport]

I can't decide if I should do rear calipers in same color, black or leave alone. I have to change pads soon anyways. Seems most do rears as well, but to me it looks kinda funny since they're not beefy like rears on say, a CTS-V or Camaro SS. Any thoughts?

Well, that depends on what you do with them... Your S7 has Rears that are 336mm and the CTS-v/ Camaro both have 365mm rears. The size difference is only an inch and you could barely notice the difference, especially if the wheels are the same diameter. Additionally they are rear wheel drive cars and manufacturers of RD cars need bigger rear rotors and GM puts more money into their rear calipers on their high performance cars.

Anyway, you will need to invest a little time and coin for a beefier look with no better stopping distances. However, 336 in back is as big as you can go IIRC, with the exception of Audi Carbon Ceramic which are 370mm rears

336mm behind 20's looks "beefy" to me for quattro?

C7 S6/S7 has 356mm rears... 3/4" larger than your quote.
A6/A7 has the 330mm rears

[A6sport]

My comparison was the 336mm S6/S7 to the CTS-V/ Camaro 365mm rears which is approximately 1.0 inch, not the 330mm A6/A7 to the 336mm S6/S7 which is .75 inches. Correct?

Silly question but I have a my13 will this apply to me?, thanks

Dealers typically only update MMI firmware for a handful of reasons,
-An owner complaining about an issue that's specifically addressed in the change log for the update
-If the maps are updated and require a newer MMI version to function correctly
-TSB/Service campaigns

With a '13, unless you have a 3rd party warranty or the car is somehow still under CPO coverage, you'd probably be paying for the update.

Installed the Maxton front spoiler and gave it a much needed car wash !

Love your car! What’s your tire/wheel specs?

[infinitereality]

Since calipers had a full week to cure and no drive time, decal time.

That turned out great. 👍🏻

Tire is factory 20. Wheels are Vossen HF-5 20x9 et30.

Thanks! Tried Brembo first and was good to go, satin black is a nice offset.

Took it for a spin, first drive with fresh calipers is in the rain, lol. I left the weights off, mainly for aesthetics and no issues so far.

Nice spoiler! Does it bolt right on or does it require modifications? And where did you get it?

Thank you, No modifications other then drilling holes. I picked it up on Ecs Tuning. Took 4 months to get. You can also purchase from Maxton designs website, cheaper on ECS though.

Very nice !

Did you put a clear coat on top of the decal ?

[Bulldog 3.2]

Finally fitted my RS grill & gloss black lower centre blade & bolted the Maxton spitter on instead of using self tappers. Also fitted quick release number plate brackets.

I predict a record number of RS grills get installed this year... (even those sitting in the closet collecting dust)

Looks so fresh n’ so clean! Exact same grille I have waiting for me to install.

The way the outer chrome trim and Audi rings on the grille nicely compliment the chrome trim on the lower vents... dang. Makes me glad I went that direction!

Thanks & mines not a black edition so wanted to keep with the chrome trim.

I love when people match their RS grille to their trim, instead of just defaulting to black optics when they have chrome trim. Car looks great. Only thing I would change is maybe brushed aluminum mirrors instead of the black ones.

[Bulldog 3.2]

I don’t think the brushed mirror coverswoukd be too noticeable on Floret silver plus I’ve sort of gone for a silver & gloss black theme so far.

Your theme looks good! Stick with it. I have the silver mirror caps on my S7 and I’m excited to see what it all looks like.

Me too (MY13). I wonder if I am able to get a free update also so I will join in on your silly question also.

No clear coat over the decal, I had already sprayed clear after painting them. Had I figured out what decal I wanted while painting, I may have installed and cleared on top. I made a similar decal, just in gloss, for the SLC's Brembos to put on after powdercoating them and so far have held up great over 1k miles

Niice!! No ACC Isues after removing and reinstaling the bumper?

Can you elaborate on this a bit ? What's the purpose of the button ?

When activated, when you come to a stop and press the brake past a certain point (+-15%) it auto puts the handbrake on and turns it off when you apply gas again. Indicated by a green handbrake icon instead of red one on the dash.

Oh nice. Would it work on 2016 S6? If so can you provide part number and coding you used ? Much appreciated.

[infinitereality]

Good to see someone else with headlight tint, looks awesome! It's a must to hide the chrome inside.

Installed Injen intake today. It's alright I suppose. Only criticisms are there's a 1" gap all around into the airbox and the secondary air injection hose is no longer filtered.

You can buy a filter for your secondary air hose (ECS tuning has one). The gap around air box shouldn’t matter. Lots of documentation here that there is no warm air issues or loss of power. I drilled holes in the top of my airbox and have the same Injen CAI
