I see you still can't let the R go though, so you are forgiven :-D

Absolutely stunning but I have found another potential bit of bling for your interior that I had forgot I had already done to mine. Can't find a photo of what it is at the minute though so you will have to be held in bored suspense for a bit. Only cost about £6ish so won't break the bank either !!

Tease!

Is it a fancy silver cover for the 12v socket in centre console???

Yep !!  It's an Audi part.

I knew it! lol.  I've seen it in someone else's R.  They sent me a pic of it ages ago but typically I can't find it now.  Soooo, any chance of a sneaky pic and part number James, when you get a minute. :wink: :smiley:

You've just reminded me. I bought and fitted this part on my GTD and took it out to put back in my R. It's been sat in a kitchen cupboard.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Excellent write up as always Mademoiselle B.

The footrest looks great and I like how you got your sunday best mats out for photographic purposes!
