    Made the decision to keep the A8L 4.2... Another Mini Build 2012

    Everytime I have the A8 serviced, I get an offer from Audi to sell. It's 11yrs old, in great condition and I still like it. So I thought I'd freshen it up a bit. and hang on to it for a few more years... I'm going for a more luxurious look vs Sport Sedan, I've got that in the C7.


    OE W12 Single Frame Grille and side Grills replaced the w12 with V8





    OE W12 lower valance with integrated exhaust tips




    21" R8 style multi-spoke wheels ET25 with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 285/30/21






    Pads & Rotors Zimmermann & EBC red-stuff



    A little steering wheel bling


    The "new look."




    The "old look."



    Note: still waiting for parts to arrive from Germany to complete the rear renovation...

    The caliper plates are the OE plates from the C7 RS7 (no longer available) IIRC, there were divots drilled into the caliper and an epoxy used to hold them in place. Worked perfectly...
