Old vs new

Not sure yet, would look good if she was lower with this width.

Well,
It's been 2 years in the B8, it's been a great car, but my mileage is about to go up and I need more comfort.
Move over B8 here comes C7...

Had the C7 for a week now, it's an awesome cruise liner and I still haven't pressed all the buttons!



Main dealer visit on 16th Mar for a multitronic service and diagnose the issue with the adaptive light system.


Did a VAGcom scan, it took forever compared to the B8... A lot of modules!

Got my dash cam wired into the ignition +ve fuse board on the passenger side of the dash
Used the position between the two 7.5A fuses on the bottom row


Tints done all round 35%

Started on my rear lights tint also, got the inner ones done, outers tomorrow.

I'm 5000miles into C7 ownership and there is nothing mechanical I would change about the car.

Lights look great now the tint film settled down and I just whored out the Thule 591 stock at my local auto accessories store.



At the cost of about 8mpg at motor way speeds and some wind noise, I can now take all 5 family bikes for a day out.

Rack is on the wife's Touran

Decided to give the plastidip a go on the front chrome.

The plastidip is holding up, quite pleased with it.
Had an all weather bulb go so replaces that and the adaptive lighting is awesome this time of year.

Anyone have advice on tail pipes?
The chrome is looking a bit shabby at the bottom of the pipes.
Looks like they would need cutting off for replacement tips.
Any slide over replacements?

Been doing not much more than good mileage on the A6.
Did find a discounted Karcher pressure washer at B&Q so got a snow foam bottle for it.
