Seeing as we are locked away for the foreseeable future. What mods are you doing if any?
I have decided to upgrade my sub and some other bits like fixing some issues with my RSNAV

So curious to see what others are doing if anything?

No comment on the rights and wrongs of driving .....there is sufficient govt guidance on that.

But can I point out some knob has smeared underseal over the front of your car.....thought you would have noticed when you were washing it!

Given my wheels a tidy, removing old sticky backing from weights on the inside, fixed some slight kerb marks, machine polished, ceramic polish and then sealant on the body work.
Hoovered and cleaned behind the bulkhead and engine bay, then sprayed with EZ fusion hydraphobic sealant fo the instruction pics for fitting my strut bars.
Made a new diffuser.
Selflessly made some strut bars for others to enjoy. ;) :D Only got a few left now. If you'd like your steering a little more taught, then let me know! :D

Can't believe I've only done 30 miles in 6 weeks!! Still on the same fuel since the middle of March! Ah well, saving me money and keeping the miles down on the ol'S5 :)

Yep, it is the std diffuser with the trim strip removed, holes filled, then the 'fins' added and re painted in metallic matt black. I need to get some other pics in better lighting!

DK tuning diffuser! ha ha, and the custom valved exhaust is made by my fine DIY hands! ;)

Its a 2012 but its a B8.5 SE not Sline

I found this video of how it works for my car
I have a blank button at that spot I thought you just pop the blanking plate out and add a new button and wire it etc.... not much info on wiring the one in the console I did set about researching this but never got a perfect explanation

Well it was my birthday not long ago so my girlfriend bought me loads of stuff for the car, definitely a keeper!

So to fit:

-Prefacelift LED taillights and code
-Aluminium transmission insert
-20MM Spacers all round (not lowered yet so shouldn't rub on the front)
-Black honeycomb fog grilles

Currently getting a new clutch and flywheel fitted, painful waiting!

Working fron home so modified my working day from 7am-8pm to 8.30 ish- maybe 4pm.
That's coz I am only doing 3 peoples work rather than 5.

Company car is withdrawn for bik purposes so have substituted morning coffee for Gin
