    Hey Gang

    Seems like I just can't get myself away from Audis. Last week I took delivery of my A7. Its a 2016 A7 SE in Mythos Black. It is an upgrade from my A6 3ltr SE 218. I loved the A6 but wanted the 272 one with A7.

    So I saw this one on Audi approved and had all the options I wanted. Comfort seats, HUD etc. Only thing I would say missing is the bose music system but that isn't the deal breaker.

    I am already considering a couple of things and clarify a few things. Given its a SE trim I thought the indicators would not be dynamic but it has dynamic on the back(well it swoops when I lock and unlock) but standard on front. Is that common?

    I would also look at either a remap or tune box option but not sure what's the best option cos with it being approved it would be serviced at Audi for a couple of years at least so remap may be out of question cos it would be reflashed.

    Want to look at getting the black grills for the front as they are chrome ones. Might look at the option of getting them wrapped somewhere local in around Leeds.

    And lastly I want to look at getting winter tyres for the car. Current wheel size is 19. I have a spare set of 17" Genuine Audi wheels. Any suggestions if I can use them for winter tyres or look at getting rid of them and get bigger wheels for winter set.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Good choice. The dynamic indicators on the front only come with the matrix LED headlights I believe. I don't think the Bose system is that good anyway, so I wouldn't worry about the standard audio.

    Yeah I heard that bose isn't that good. I only have experience with bose on a mazda6 I had which was really good so thought maybe it's just as good. That being said I'm happy with audio quality of the standard system.

    Never been a big fan of dynamic indicators cos I found them more of a gimmick after seeing swooping indicators on lorries but I can love with them I guess.

    Will get a good led pack for interior lights cos they are yellow ones.

    And more than likely I will have to buy a push bike soon after I get banned from driving.

    You've heard right about the Bose audio system - it's AWFUL! You're better off with the standard system.

    The dynamic front indicators are included with the S-Line trim.

    I don't agree with you, I think, it's quite good, if you know how to set it up. I agree with OP, it's not a mandatory thing, as the factory Audi system is also quite good, but that's not correct, that it's even better then the BOSE version.

    Suppose it's personal opinion on these things. I'm still happy with the standard system.

    Managed to confirm with Audi that 17" wheels should be fine for winter tyres. So I guess I would have to get those wheels refurbed.

    Next I have to look for a decent Led interior light set.

    Guys

    I'm after some advice. Been driving on a dark road last night and realised the main beams are set a it too low. And I can not seem to find the button to raise the levels as in my previous cars. Nothing in MMI either as far *** I can see. Any help?

    Got bi xenons on the car if that helps.

    Thanks
