Thought I would add some photos:

 

When I bought the car:

 

 

 

Since then, I have changed the grill and the alloys:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upgraded to LEDs inside and out

 

 

 

 

 

Now started on the interior:

 

 

 

 

Still lots to do until i'm completely happy but it's getting there

I would have posted more pics but the website won't let me

Carbon Fibre looks spot on.

[Vito]

Nice, whats next Klauster ?

[CarrG]

Very Nice!

 

I think the front grill looks great.

Just add them in two posts in the future if it does it again.

 

Sorry if i've asked before but did you retro fit the lighting pack?

 

Cars looking great!

[Klauster]

Yeah I retro fitted some elements of the interior light pack

[tee-bee]

Perhaps someone here can organise group buys?

 

If we can get some savings on certain bits would be most helpful!

Good idea!

Forgive me, I'm new around here.

 

What have you changed on the Grill? Is it now Matt?

 

Looks good either way!

[Chris]

If you look on the first 2 pics he has the Alu grille surround with Alu grille, next 2 pics he has retained the Alu surround but now has a black grille

[VEA]

OH, I thought that was just reflection of the light.. oops

Looks great, I retro fitted the footwell lights but I still haven't had them coded, those pics have reminded me how great they look, I really must get that done!

We could do with a guide on how to fit them if anyone has the time or inclination!

How is it done this interior lights pack retrofit?
Sounds like is not done by just putting different bulbs in........is it not ?

[Klauster]

Mine didn't have the wiring, so that needed running, which meant trims removed etc.. with regards to reading light, glove box, boot and number plates etc... these are straight swaps. If you already have the interior light pack, the led bulbs are a stright swap

[MacD]

I've not got any interior light package so would need to run looms,  I'd heard that swapping the interior courtesy light for the one that has the comfort lights at night is a straight swap though.

 

I'm going to order one as it's a bit dull without one at night in the cabin.

I bought a loom from a guy on ****-*****.net His name is RobinA3 I think, very helpful chap and the loom was great. Came with all 4 foot well lights in a fully wound loom. They are OEM LED's too so should look good.

Its a seat bolt undo job and the glovebox and drivers side lower dash will need to be taken out but it really is simple.

I think the loom with LED's was about £80, after that its just some simple coding

I also changed all interior standard bulbs for LED's off tr8ups, another guy on ****-*****.net (or Google EM Tuning) and they look great. He does a kit for interior roof festoons, glove box, boot, vanity lights etc.

I was also going to put in the ambient lighting festoon but I wasn't sure if that was offered as an option on the RS3 so wanting to stay as OEM as possible I didn't bother.

The only thing I am missing now from the factory light package is the puddle lights, which RobinA3 also sells a loom for and the door handle lights. You have to change the door handles for the latter though so I probably won't bother.
