And the broken R8 it came from  :cry:

Im guessing they dont have steering wheel controls then, which is better

Il be honest, its a straight swap! Splines ate exactky the same, bit it does seem to poke out a bit.
Doesn't have the radio controls but it has the paddle shifts.

Il get a photo of the invoice for you, but I expect that it will be more than some of you paid for ypur cars lol

they go for between £500 and £700

my car has gone into storage. Karting has taken over my life lol otherwise I would have one. Looks dope!

all Audi s line are flat bottoms with controls. Don't need a R8 wheel

why? because i could lol
with the dash conversion i was doing a mk3 one would look poo. it had to be audi, could have had an s3 one yea but they alone were going for £99 so though pay a little bit extra and get an r8 one :)

if you can find one a golf mk 3.5 fits straight on and so does the lupo gti. both look good.

is the dash a propper S3 one tho mate, coz they have illuminated heater controls on the S3.. yours looks like the base model one ?

i also have the option to fit a Audi dash, but cant decide to or not?, iv asked u this in the other thread about wheels, but how much of a pain is it to ft ? which bits need trimming ?


wheel looks ace  :cool:

Post by: Gash on 17 June 2012, 23:45
iv replied in the other thread for you dude :)

the dash, centre console etc are all s3 except the heater controls. i wanted to make it simpler for myself, and every s3 i looked at had the climate control in there instead of the knobs, these controls plugged straight in and fully work. just had the faceplate from a a3 then to fit, well had to use 2 to make the gauge pods
