It’s the case that some people are getting the discounted VEL passed on and others aren’t ?

Just delivered this morning, on a covered transporter which was unexpected. 6 miles on the clock.

Not impressed that it cost me £50 to swap my insurance over though from the. V90 which is apparently in a higher group

Looks great! Any options or did you just go standard spec?

No totally standard. I wouldn’t normally chose white even but I didn’t want to add extras to a lease as I don’t think it’s good value to do so.

That's exactly what I've done although mine is the Coupe. How's everyone getting on with their cars?

I haven’t even sat in. I’ve yet! It’s parked outside but I’m too busy.

Arrived Friday, engine warning light and adblue empty light on by the Saturday. Had Audi recovery (AA) out last night. Anybody else had any issues?

No I think I'm the only one who got the sport instead of the s line.

Got recovered by Derby Audi today and getting a hire car complementary of them. Fault was adblue level and adblue pump. So either software or is going to need a new adblue tank. They either had a fiat 500 for me tonight or a vw/Audi tomorrow... I chose the latter 🤣

Just fitted some projector style puddle lights to the A5. Installation wasn't too difficult. Let me know what you all think

Wow they look amazing. What kit did you buy and did you find the fitting instructions online.

Kit was from amazon but I paid way too much for it. Can be had for around £50-£60 off ebay (search 4G0052133G)

Plenty of videos on YouTube showing you how to remove and install the lights. Bear in mind these can only be fitted to the two front doors, rear doors do not have the standard footwell lighting (although you can mod the fixtures on if you wanted)

Just bear in mind that you will need to use a bit of force to get the lights out, I have slightly cracked the driver side one as it was so tightly wedged into the door, but it eventually came out. This thread helped a lot (https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b9-platform-discussion-212/puddle-lights-2912450/page3/)

All in all it took me about 10 minutes max as you're literally changing the light fixture as if it went out and needed replacing, plug and play so no coding required. You can do a test run on the light that's on the inside of the boot lid, has the same size and fixtures and it's a lot easier to remove.

Next step is to remove the silver audi rings install some blacked out ones on the front.

Happy to answer any questions on this!

I don’t like them, a bit showy for me and serve no practical purpose

Are you going to dechrome the bumper and window trim?
