I saw another member do this and even though its kinda silly, I really liked it!

I ordered this off ebay from their link, it came reasonably fast, attaching it was just peeling off the cover on the back and carefully placing it around the button.


Regular start button

Upgraded start button! Plus +60 HP!

Yeah, it's like having several different cars, with different colors. Actually, Daytona grey was not my first choice originally. It did not impress me in photos viewed on computer screens. however the Navarra Blue I found online turned out to be sold, so the dealer found the grey at a nearby dealership and got it transferred. Very happy now that I didn't get the blue.

I have the navarra blue. IMHO best blue they make. I have had 3 of their blues. I am a sucker for a good grey/silver though.

I also want to black out the amber and bottom silver trim too!
Did you have to bake the headlights?
I was wondering if you used any tutorials or threads to help you do this.
much appreciated!

I would find a reputable tint shop that can apply a light smoked tint to the lenses you want instead of baking anything. These headlights are $3000 each. All I know is that's a really expensive science experiment in your home oven if things go wrong...

Today I learned you can't apply vinyl wrap in 30 degree weather, it just won't stick.

But I learned enough to make applying it next time much easier.

And, I debadged the back!

Heat gun + fishing line + goo gone + cooking counter top scrubber.

Better pictures when everything is done. (I also have a carbon fiber look front lip to install!)


I am on a quest to wrap my chrome trim in gloss black, so I figured I would get rid of the A5 and the 2.0T stuff on the back. I'll probably plastic dip the Audi rings black at some point. I left the quattro thing because it's cool 😎

Today, I overcame my battles with my trim, and added a Carbon Fiber front lip.

I'm pretty happy with how things turned out!

Chrome Delete on my Chrome trim. Used 3m Black Gloss Vinyl. Looks pretty amazing if I do say so myself.

Carbon Fiber front lip to match the Carbon fiber rear spoiler. Just a little touch I think it adds a little aggression.

Just a few little changes and she looks like a whole new car.
