Thanks guys!

Well, I would say that to give any opinion on the car right now, it is going to be biased. Never had a car in this league. I drove a VW Golf TDI (~135hp) for 10 years, and have been driving for the last year a company car, VW Polo with an atmospheric engine 1.4l (85hp).

For me the car is perfect, as you might imagine. The only "complain" is the fuel conumption. Much higher than I'm used to, but still the numbers I was expecting anyway. And the car has only around 750km. It's a baby...I believe with time fuel consumption will get better.

Waiting to get some more km so I can start enjoying the car as it should be. Living in the Swiss Alps, I can't complain about the handling neither about the power. As I said, this is my first real car, will get some time to find something that will annoy me (or so I expect).

Any advice on nice LED lamps for the interior lightning that will fit this "new" facelift model? To much offer out there....would like to avoid buying crap...

Cheers!!

For the fogs, I went with Hoen xenonmatch (http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm). I think you need H11. They look great and match the DRLs nicely. Plug and play. If you need LED license plate bulbs, I went with Turnerdomes (http://www.tunerdomes.com/index.php?...d&productId=79)

Enjoy your new car. She's a beauty!

Thanks for the tip AudiS5Mark,

The new facelift model uses H8. Will have a look on those Hoen.

For the license plate, theres no need because it came with LED as standart

Cheers!

Do you have a picture of the new fog lights? How hard are they to get to in order to swap? thanks
