The foot rest is the hardest part. There's a metal tab at the top, a "U" shaped channel that attaches to the kick panel and five tabs that slide into holes in the floor. I started by removing the bottom end, pulling up to pull the tabs out of the floor. I couldn't get the top tab out so I pulled off the fuse panel cover, removed a bolt and removed two bolts holding the plastic piece under the steering wheel. With the bolts removed, I could pull on the panel to free the clip at the top of the pedal. Pushing, pulling and wiggling the pedal around freed the foot rest from the kick panel. I tried to install the new footrest the reverse that the old one was removed. I managed to break the "U" shaped long plastic piece that ties the pedal and kick panel together. I ended up removing the piece entirely, clipped the steering wheel panel to the top and securing the five tabs into the floor. Removing the seat buttons took an couple of jewelers screwdrivers and a chopstick. You have to get behind the buttons and pull straight out to get them to let loose. Install is easy - just line up the switch actuators and push them back. Compare the insides to what you took off. They are different. |

I bought a R8 coolant jug cap and was disappointed when I installed it. It was 90 degrees off of where I would have liked it. After close examination, I took it apart and modified it to sit in the desired orientation.
The cap is press fit onto the inside part. There's four slots and tabs to position it. One slot is larger so if you widen a narrow slot, the cap can be rotated and reassembled. Attachment 73066 I screwed the lower part on the jug and applied masking tape so I could make a pencil line. Attachment 73067 The wide slot at at the nine o'clock position in the shot. The six o'clock slot needs to be wider to accept the tab. Attachment 73068 Modification complete - it aligns with the oil cap and the symbol is facing forward Attachment 73069 Added some stainless acorn nuts on various studs in the engine bay Attachment 73070 Installed an Injen intake Attachment 73071 Quattro on the rear doors Attachment 73072 Audi rings on the C pillar Attachment 73073 Attachment 73074 |
Very clean look - really like the subtleness of the quattro and rings.

I know I lost a few ponies with non-traditional colors and placements and I can live with that. |
Wow, very nice! Such nice progress. The quattro stencils are my favorite. Very nice wheels, and super job on the engine caps.
And congrats on the show award. Looks like someone's an overachiever for sure. LOL :D |
Where did you get the rings sticker and what are the measurements.
