Love the color, love the fact its a 2005, and also love that it is an Ultrasport!! Rare car! If only it was a 6 speed

Do you have cup holders in your center console? If so, buy this, will fit perfectly, and cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231611922181...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

eBay from China but is a good fit well made.



I'm getting ready to do the front brakes. Any words of wisdom? Planing on buying a caliper kit to make the job easy. Best pad/rotor combo?

Yea nice ride. I also have a 2005 A4 S-Line with 5 speed manual transmission. I have the red one. I have the same Bose system but no steering wheel controls. Is that an upgraded package or an aftermarket steering wheel you have.

Those are Tiptronic controls on the steering wheel. The only B6 steering wheel with actual radio controls was the abominable 4 spoke.

After two years of ownership here is what I've spent. Mind you I could have saved a lot by having a place to wrench the first year and a half I owned the car. But now that I've got my tools and garage labor costs should be a minimum.

It makes me cringe to see costs like that. I could have done all that, for a very small fraction of those costs. But glad you keep it well maintained!
