Pete's OEM+ A3 Black Edition
rdfcpete:
BBS should be here this week, might not be fitted until after my Nurburgring trip.
Auto light retrofit install to finish - A rain sensor and wiring kit away. Auto light sensor, wiring and VCDS controls are already in place. Unfortunately I found out the expensive way that the Leaving home and Coming home lights DO require light & rain sensor. I was hoping to fluke it. The auto lights function does actually work without the rain sensor, but you'd have to live with a massive DIS error stating that it can't find the rain sensor. Nearly there :happy2:
Stance will be adjusted a tad so it's a bit more level, the rear will be sitting a bit flatter.
Oil change, panel filter and fuel filter replaced today so it's a fresher.
BBS pics to come soon I hope.

Well they're here, colours spot on. Couldn't get the matte lacquer finish I originally requested, however they've come out well IMO with a gloss lacquer so I'm sort of glad with the result even though they took a while. Worth the wait so far. That residue is the poorboys natty blue where it's flaked a bit and I've done a fathanded job :chicken:. To be fair there are hardly any imperfections :smiley:

Car looks great. I've just got one myself and I'm blown away by it. Had the rns-e fitted last week and love it.
I too miss the auto lights and wipers, bit too steep the cost of getting them fitted though :sick:
rdfcpete:
Cheers.
The RNS-E is a cool bit of kit, very different show to the RNS510 which I was a fan of.
I've retfrofitted the auto light sensor (but I need the rain sensor too) so after parts and fitting, I'll be about £550 deep unfortunately. Steep but I don't mind in truth, as I miss the leaving home lights more than anything. From that I'll only have auto lights too, which is fine - you can't do the Auto dip mirror or working rain sensor kit without a new windscreen and I didn't wanna go anywhere near that :sick: So I've done a half kit for what will be nearly the same price. Ah well... :stupid:
The coming home lights can be triggered manually as with a lot of VAG cars using the beam stalk as you open the drivers door.

I like the lights coming on when unlocking the car. Auto wipers I'm really missing though, especially as our other car has both. One of those things I'll get used to I suppose.
Any ideas of the reversing camera options? I know there is a very expensive official kit but there are apparently lots of other options but no clear info.
