    From the dealer. Picked up a cabin air filter, the 4 spring clips which hold the boot lock trim in position, and the trim for €45

    That’s impressive for that lot. 
    Would’ve been a lot more In the UK I’m sure of that. Cost me £25 from the dealer for just 4 screws for the under tray. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Seems like ages since I've been here. I'm looking for some pictures of the lower front bumper on other peoples cars. I'm obviously missing some trim which I'd like to find. See below pics of driver and passenger side. Could;d anyone show me a pic of theirs please?

    Yes Tommy. You appear to be missing little flat black panels that hide whatever is behind the vents.

    Hello!

    New to the club as we got our 2010 S5 cabriolet last week. What a lovely car we love it especially with the sun out! 
     

    Got the sports diff on it with the nappy leather with a nice metallic grey which I’m told is Audi exclusive (Badges on the doors seem to confirm this)

    That is VERY nice indeed. 👏🏻Congrats. Nice colour combo too. 
    Can’t beat having the roof down. 
    Had mine down today when out and about. 
    enjoy the summer!

    Cleaned myself. I use G101 and stiff brush to clean most of the dirt and then wipe with a microfibre. It's not finished yet but it's coming along. I may eventually install a steering wheel with controls and I've read that B7's are prewired for it. Can anyone confirm this? I did order a set of puddle lights for it. I'll post some pics of the install when I get them.

    Dunno about steering wheel. 
    But I wanted to install puddle lights too but was told there was no wiring or pre-cut holes for the lights as it wasn’t an option when my car was made/purchased.

    So I've had my first breakdown, well sort of! Went to the shop and halfway through the journey, I had a loss of power and some vibration. Got it home and said Bugger. I borrowed a scan tool from a mate and discovered a misfire on cylinder 2. Quick hop to the dealer and picked up a set of plugs and a coil pack. Interestingly, the coil pack would have been €100 from a motor factors but was only €53 from the dealer.

    Glad it’s all sorted and hopefully no more problems Tommy. 
    Mine’s in next week to replace the front two engine mounts that are leaking badly. 
    My mate who has his own garage is doing the job as Audi had quoted £786!

    The parts are only £300. 
    That’s nearly £500 in labour. 
    That’s an Audi dealer for you. 
    Rather give an old pal the money, and much less of it too!

    Cheers Paul  & Steve, I’ve been enjoying it (and the tiny running cost) all week. It was a quiet day today so I had time to give it a decent clean. Wash and dry followed by clay bar.

I’m not intending to get rid of them before the winter, I’m really doing a winter prep. You can see the bonded tar on the lower trim. Tardis does the job.

    Next up was a polish. I wasn’t going for a full correction, simply a polish before applying Gtechniq Exo. This is a shot before the Exo but after the polish with the rotary.

    Looks great. 

  7. Fantastic job Thomas! All your hard work will make it worthwhile. Good to see a B7 Cab being kept on the road. They are such a pleasure to drive and look fantastic when cleaned. Good job on the roof BTW, I'm lazy and have a pro do mine every 12 months or so. Something you need to keep on top of. Keep up the good work and post some pics when completed. 👍
