Was enabling the Needle Sweep just a VCDS change Al?

Looking smart though. What wheels are tickling your fancy?
I'll look out for you on the scene in this next year  :happy2: We only missed players this year as we drove to the NRing which was one of the highlights of the year tbh  :driver:

That is seriously low!  :congrats:

Mine is slammed on AP coilovers now (wound all the way down) and it's  a good 35-40mm higher than yours. Air ride must be awesome having ride quality without worrying about speed bumps  :notworthy:

Was just a VCDS tweak for me Pete. Only works on my2010 onwards, I think it's called "staging" in the drop down VCDS list (not long coding helper)

Looks decent al.. What wheels you going for?

Really don't know mate. Keep changing my mind whenever I think I'm sorted.
Having such wide rear arches I want some nice staggered wheels rather than spacing smaller ones. But finding nice 19's is proving difficult on such a tight budget without going down the custom route.
Tempted by some speedlines I've seen recently

The 19x8.5 OEM Speedline split rims Al?

They are one of my mecca wheels  :notworthy: Love them, a superb alloy wheel.
If you meant them, go for it  :happy2:

Nope, 19x9, ET33. They are a mixed set, the rears are off an A5 so have the deeper lip. Think I have found an even better set all the way over in Croatia. Just got to sell my RS3 brakes in order to afford them though :(
But worth every penny when you see them.

Well, I've never owned a grey Audi A4, a red jack or those wheels in that size or colour  :P :laugh:...

Just a net stolen pic, but I had them in original silver in the 18"x7.5J size. Way too small cosmetically for the MK5, but they work so well in 19"s.

Fitted my R line front bumper the other day.
Smoothed the number plate recess. Removed the random honeycomb grille (sure VW just had a load left over after the Lupo GTI and MK5 GTI)
and fitted a T5 slatted grille which was painted gloss black, and the surround in silver to match the rest of the bodywork.
And fitted the RNS 315 stereo

Really REALLY like the look of the R Line front end, big improvement with the slated grills and colour coded parts.  :happy2:
