When installing my euro arches I was planning to tuck and hide the bulb receptacle, but integrating it into the wheel well is quite slick.

Thanks!
Totally honest idea by my self

But, not original after all... Few days ago I noticed that Porche Cayenne has the same kind of thing on front wheels! So, I can not claim I was first

I loved euro arches, but just did not like the idea hiding the bulb or harness somewhere inside the car and not being able to see if the light is working or not. I did the same on rear wheels only those are red and even more tucked away behind the rim. Late at night gives a nice red "lick of red" over the rear calipers even they are not "Jcw"
Can you do a detail shot of your handles as they are now? I was to do something similar, but haven't figure out exactly what I want to do with them.
Also the headlights; are they painted inside or is there an assembled unit that's dark like that.

Damn! I always forget to do the snap of a handle... As it sits right now, I have AC (now discontinued) matte black covers with cf vinyl accents (because they started cracking a bit
). On the rear door the same... On front doors I got a cf "cup" from eBay. fit prefect! I searched for black color for years. Only one i could find was a chrome finish sold by multiple vendors. Finally, I found a seller from Asia on eBay that was making cf finish...I do have an extra set of black door covers that I ordered from AC like a mount ago (as I wanted to have a back up for the cracked ones). With doing the cf vinyl I am able to prolong the life of the set on the car. So, extra set is stashed for an emergency. I read somewhere on nam that AC is stopping production of these, so if you want them hurry up...

Headlights are OEM. This is standard option from 2011...

Just have enough spray soap water and take your time...
Next year's off season rims... That fit over red JCW calipers...


It was a Kijiji "score", early Monday morning. Great price! Came with Pirelli winters, 2 great + 2 garbage but those are the same rubbers I have on my current off season rims (S-lites, now for sale locally) so I will have 2 extra tires... Some chips and scrapes, so refinish in BODY COLOR is in place for next summer.
I always liked these challenge rims. It will go great with my OEM+ theme...

A little interior update, courtesy of Wet Okole...

And the rear, of course!

This will do until I win lottery and can afford a full set of original Recaros (sold in Europe only)...

Car looks awesome. But you knew that
. Where is that dope Audi basket? Mirrors are a neat detail.
Let me know if you are looking for a set of black non-S LCI scuttles. I have an extra set I'll post in the marketplace soon.

You think?

My opinion is that they are just fine in my car...
Full set, front and back= $180 with shipping from eBay...
BTW, I am "introducing" a "zing" of red on the car: BIG red calipers, red piping on the seat covers, red 3BALL shifter ball, red sticker...
"some custom stuff"? That's how I started...
Thanks!
Audi basket is off till summer, shrink wrapped in the garage... Crafsquare is my favorite mod...
I will pass on "new" scuttles. I am loving these "plain" for now. Good luck with the sale.
