I'm going to start up my own build thread on my audi that I just bought about a month ago.


I'm a total noob in this game so I'm finding new things everyday lol, I'm coming from owning a f250 to an Audi. BIG JUMP!! Lol



Here's a picture of my former daily driver which I still own and is payed off




Here is my Audi on day one





Tint installed the next day, 35% up front and 5% in the back done by tint world in San Antonio, Texas




I stuck on the Supercharged badges about a week later,



Full led interior kit installed that I bought off of eBay for $25! and they have a real nice color to them! If Intrested I can get you a link, let me know.









Just got the reverse LED lights, I'll get them installed this week sometime.




Cold air intake waiting to be installed as well!




Some little valve stem caps that I bought on eBay for $8

First, welcome to the forum. Not sure if this is your first Audi but you will enjoy it! I just got out of my F150. Much easier to park, that is for sure.

is this the kit you used for the interior?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/16-x-Premium...dVKLgD&vxp=mtr

if so, has anyone else used these? Interested to see what people think about having used them for an extended period of time.

Yup!! That's it! I was super happy with the color the light gave out, it's much better in person. There all canbus LED bulbs as well. It's a complete interior kit, The reverse LED bulbs are also from ebay but not the same people, I paid $9 for those.

Good start with the small mods on the cheap. If you need local vagcom help lmk.
Im guessing wheels are on your "to do" list?
If you take your car back to Cavender for service be vigilant with walk arounds before/after and take detailed pictures of your car.

[adro830]

Thanks bro!
And yes, could you point me in the right direction about vagcom? I've been seeing more and more about it and there's defently some stuff I wouldn't mind doing.

Check out the sticky thread on vagcom tweaks (VCDS and hidden menu). If you find ones you want done just hit me up and you can use my cable and I can help.

Thanks bro. Im still a little green in this area, is there any kind of mods to get temp and pressure gauges on the screens? That's what I feel like this car is really missing, more gauges.

On the B8.5 you can get the oil temp on the DIS screen via vagcom (also has lap timer function at same time). That is the only additional guage item I am aware of. I am unsure if this is compatible with B8 models as well.

So the $9 Reverse LED'S were a fail. They lit up real nice but threw an error on the dash!





Difference between LED vs halogen



Time to look for another set lol

You have nav, I thought the nav package included factory backup camera? Or is that only B8.5?

[adro830]

Yeah I have navigation.
no camera and no backup sensors, two things I really wanted on my car but the supercharger pays off for that lol

Today I received my backup camera from China, I will install it soon and do a little write up on how it goes.

Hid concept led fog lights are perfect! And there is no errors!

I just installed the same fogs. Great lights. One of the wires on my previous set (different manufacturer) completely corroded through some how so tossed em.

[adro830]

Here's some pictures of them on at night.






I'm really happy with them, they were an easy upgrade and well worth the price!
Good job HID concept!!
