Nice!, mines looking a little tired also, where did you get the grills from?
GreigC:
Front Grill (looks identical to OEM) Matt finish honeycomb.

Thanks mate. I replaced the G410. The G247 I didn't touch, I believe it's in a tricky spot under the manifold, next to the oil check stick. I measured the pump outputs and it was showing fine at idle, 50% LPFP duty cycle (I changed to a meat and doria crap then replaced that to the oem VDO Continental, I don't believe it's the LPFP causing it but I'll be damned if I get a 3rd one :grin:). I will check the FPRV VCDS stuff tommorow after driving the car. I have the RS4 FPRV and new fuel raills (metal one which I've managed to bend when removing the HPFP and the small rubber one next to it, where the older cars have the banjo bolt fitting). I will wait to replace all 3 in the next couple of days and see how it goes from there.
The cam looks fine btw, car has a CDL cylinder head with CDL cams, software made for them (I believe the CDL has higher lift)... I asked the owner if he got the software done with the old BYD cams then switched to the CDL stuff whilst leaving the old software untouched but he didn't.
Also to keep it on topic I painted my grile insert stripe today, it was badly faded and looked like total ass, purplish with yellow spots, guess it was the patina but I only like patina on old watches :grin:
Old:
New:
"Artistic" :signLOL:
Looks miles better and it only cost me 10$ for the Tornado Red spray.

Fk winter 16"s. Couldn't wait any longer and as it heated up quite a bit here lately so I decided to put my summer 18"s /w ContiSportContact rubbers. I was expecting the ride to be way harsher but surprisingly it feels better and softer over bumps, 2nd surprise the 18"s with summer tires are lighter then those BS 16"s with winters, 3rd surprise the car is a bit higher now and I don't scrape the lip on every damn thing, backing out of my garage is way better with these on, no scrapes. :jumpmove: :star: :jumpmove:
