AudiNewbie-A7 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Hi guys, After nearly 10 years of owning and enjoying JLR cars, last one being a XF -I'm finally moving (and excited) to an Audi A7 272 BHP. It's a beaut in white, S-line, Black edition, with 21" alloys on a 65 plate with 4K miles. I'd seen another similarly priced one with lots of kit, clocking 13K miles, but it seemed not looked after at all and had a wrecked 'boy racer' feel to it. So I went for this one instead as it pretty much felt brand new. However this one does not have many options fitted and I was particularly after a reversing camera and folding mirrors upgrade. Has anyone had these retro fitted and can advise on costs along with recommendations. Thanks in advance from a very very excited newbie!

Steve Q Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Welcome to the forum :) you'll find the guys and gels on here are a friendly bunch :) I'm not surprised your excited! The a7 is a lovely car. Whites a great colour for it and even better it's the black edition :) unsure about the camera but I think the folding mirror feature can be retro fitted.

rastaman Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Welcome to the forum. I collected my white A7 (272 TDI) just over a month ago and I really enjoy driving it. Moved from a 3L diesel BMW X5. I The Black edition are pretty high spec cars, I'd have thought it would be standard for the folding mirrors. Enjoy the car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiNewbie-A7 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thanks rastaman - collected to car today and can't wipe the smile off my face. I'm also really surprised and delighted by how comfortable the drive is, which I wasn't expecting on the 21' wheels with a sports suspension. It's a lot smoother and quieter than the XF. Ok so on the camera front, I've had a number of quotes and they are all around the £549-£599 mark, original Audi parts. Power folding mirrors are an eye watering £850! (as new options they are about £250 I think) If anyone find anything cheaper, please let me know. Thanks all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Glad your pleased! :) but it's hard not too, the a7 is a lovely car! :) I'm very surprised the camera is cheaper than the mirrors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
