Shame one has to go mate. The Audi A4 looks really nice though!
If you happen to get rid of your paddle extensions, I'll take them off your hands.
My wife's got no interest in fitting them to hers, I assumed that they would fit the Audi but the pivot hinge is different on its paddles. If you still want them then let me know (pm).
If anyone is after a set of untouched front carpet mats and very lightly worn rears (put rubber front mats in when I bought my GTI+), then let me know also. If not I'll put them in the classifieds or on ebay.

It looks awesome

Looks great. Out of interest, is it any smaller than the Polo GTI wheel? I find the wheel on mine seems too big for the car.

Thanks
I honestly do not know the answer to that because i don't have a GTI/GTI+ but its so much nicer to drive with this wheel than the previous one.

I highly doubt that the T-Roc R wheel is any smaller than the Polo GTI wheel. The T-Roc is a bigger car in the range and both the Polo GTI and T-Roc R are performance models.

Today I fitted some DSG Paddle Extensions. Even though I don't use Manual mode that much I really like the look of them!monkeyhanger for selling me these! Nice and easy to install.

Hardware
Milltek Cat Back
Eibach Pro Kit
APR Panel Filter
Stubby Aerial
If anything they have really helped the throttle response and the cars a lot more planted now.
Software
Soundacktor turned off
Next
Swap out the tyres
Add window tints
Is your car an OPF model. I plan on getting the Milltek exhaust soon and would love to hear your view on it.

Hi, yes 2019 with the OPF. Looks great and makes the car feel more responsive but the sounds not great. I’ve have Millteks on my previous 4 cars and always sound good. I think the OPF kills it a bit.
I read on here it does get better the more miles you do so will comment again after 500 miles or so.

I think the ride is so much better now. You notice it more at speed as the car feels more stable.
Looks wise, now looks like it should. I think there’s a few pictures on here but will post some later.

@Pkoconnor to install the aerial did you need to remove the roof lining inside the car?

It looks like the original aerial base with a shorter rod to me , if so where do you get the shorter rod from and does it effect the radio performance?

I might be wrong here but If I remeber correctly rod size depends on car options. I think long one was for DAB+ cars. But I can't check ETKA right now.
