We’ve done a few B8 A4/S4 carbon fiber sets of trim so far, but up until now they have all been the standard 11oz 2×2 twill (you can see some of those sets in the B8 gallery). We recently got a bunch of B8 cores from Germany so we figured it would be time to […]
Lately I’ve had some customers have some trouble removing the front ashtray covers on their B6/B7 Audis, so I figured I would write up a little guide. I think people tend to over complicate this step of the trim removal when it is actually quite simple. Before we start, let me stress that you do not need […]
B8 A4/S4 Trim Removal Guide Tools needed: Flathead screwdriver Hook tool Socket set Hex keys Time required: 1 hour Difficulty: Moderate Start with the door pieces. Using your screwdriver, gently wedge it between the door and the trim and slowly pry the tabs free. Start at the rear of the piece, working your way towards […]
I’ve been anxious to see what this setup would look like for a while now, so I was happy to finally get some decent photos. I think it fits pretty well with the two tone interior and adds a nice contrast. Rest of the gallery can be found here: Barry’s A4.
Got the C6 A6 shifter back together again. It was much more challenging than I had anticipated, but now that it is finally done The two ashtray covers. Two side blades. Shifter frame. First the side blades are attached. Then the ashtray covers are attached. And finally, after a bunch of tiny screws, the shifter […]
Lots of progress on the B8 vent and MMI pieces. These will be getting sent out on Monday so hopefully we’ll have some installed pictures shortly. Before we start, the black pieces are for the B8 A4/S4 and are done in a 11oz 2×2 twill. The red pieces are for a B8 A5/S5 and are […]
Still working on the shifter plate but I got some images of the dash and door pieces installed. I think it turned out very nice with the metal trim around the carbon fiber.
Took me a while, but this set is finally done. Had some trouble with the metal edges of the trim. I couldn’t get them to stay in place long enough for the glue to set, so they kept popping out of place. Ended up having to use some quick setting epoxy to get everything to […]
and once again I’m very happy with the results. When you see the images of this set right after it was clearcoated, you may notice specs of dust or imperfections in the clear. All of these need to be wetsanded and polished out of the finish. After wetsanding with high grit sandpaper (1500+) the set […]
and it looks fantastic. It might be hard to tell from these photos, as they look very similar to photos of most every other set I’ve posted, but I can see there has been a definitive upgrade in quality of the overall finish of the parts. They are much smoother and the gloss appears to […]
Few shots of some custom B5 beltline sets that I’ve been working on recently. First up is a plain weave set. It’s very similar to a standard 11oz 2×2 twill set, the weave is just slightly different. This plain is 9oz 1×1 weave. It’s got more of a checkerboard look the diagonal the twill sets […]
