Me and anyone else with their own thread I assume. Who knows.

[SKNKWRX]

Today I did this to my R........

[abeR]

Me and anyone else with their own thread I assume. Who knows.

and I was about to bust out my own thread !

but seriously what?

[infiniteecho]

Well, I guess I won't start a new thread about the manual swap, all the steps, photos and parts needed.

I was just about to click new topic.

Do it.

That definitely warrants its own thread.

[MoWsE]

Be careful. I received a written warning. No more picture threads.

And I just started my thread

[Katie83]

I took it to the body shop to let the restoration begin...
(well, that happened yesterday, but close enough!)
They told me I should have it back around the middle of next week... great! I'm already having withdrawal symptoms!

[PSU]

That's good Katie.

Excellent turn around time.

Katie, did you end you claiming the insurance yourself? or you just left it to the body shop to do it for you?

[Nanozic]

That's too bad.

I've been waiting for some good shots of my car and then wanted do a thread. I feel like I've gained a good deal of knowledge over the last few years with this car. I wonder if they just don't want threads that are just filler, and not much substance.

F em. Start your thread. Thats the point of a forum.

Added yet another battle scar to my R today; thanks to a truck with too much gravel and too little tailgate...

I am thinking of making a few changes to the .:R if I end up keeping it:

• Plastidip the Front Grill, Wheels, and spoiler
• Have the car Vinyl Wrapped in Urban Assault Camo pattern, with hood stripe and roof in matte black
• Change Vanity plates to read RBNASLT

Anything else to add to my plans?

Still working on plasti-dipping the grille but I'm lazy and just getting more used to driving the R32 as a DD. My S4 got hit by someone running a red light a few weeks ago so it will be down for a while and returning with OEM RS4 Widebody and retired as a DD since I'm not risking that bodywork if I don't have to.

Going in for its 1st service under our ownership and doing the Mech recall, along with some other 20K stuff (oil, brake fluid change + Haldex service while we're at it).

I can say that the R32 can go through turns faster than my S4 but much sketchier with a feeling of losing control any second rather than being planted like in my S4. The R32 can really use the haldex software and/or RSB to help balance it out a bit better. More driving experience for me behind the wheel will help too. The cars are very similar in most respects but I think the shorter wheelbase of the R32 and the RSB in my S4 are making a pretty noticeable difference in the handling characteristics.

[valkswagen]

Installed a skid plate, put on some steel braided brake lines and new rub strips. Also adjusted my ride height a little.

[big byrd]

Washed it and reset the DSG

[PSU]

Installed a skid plate.

Which one?

... reset the DSG

Elaborate.

[valkswagen]

Dieselgeek Panzer skid plate.

[big byrd]

Elaborate.

DSG started shifting sloppy, set the trans back to basic settings in vcds. It's all in ross tech wiki.

[Gotsol]

some tool side swiped my R32.

They didn't do any sheet metal damage but the rubber side bumpers are scratched real good and there is some residue on the metal that will buff out!

[Katie83]

Katie, did you end you claiming the insurance yourself? or you just left it to the body shop to do it for you?

Nah I claimed it myself, got the check, and I'm letting the body shop take care of the rest. The Audi/VW guy there assured me repeatedly that they would be using nothing but OEM parts on it since it's so rare of a car. He said if it was a Toyota Camry, then it'd be different, I said if it was a Toyota Camry, then I wouldn't care haha.

The only thing I'm really concerned about is that they're sending the wheel out to be tested and refinished, and I'm worried that the refinish won't be up to par, but he did say that there would be a lifetime warranty on the refinish, so that did make me feel better. I might buy an extra wheel just in case (I could always use it to replace the rear pass. side wheel that I curbed by accident a few weeks ago...d'oh! Not used to watching out for curbs!)

[Katie83]

That's good Katie.

Thanks! I'm hoping they don't call next week to tell me it'll be another week!

[Ryan E.]

Holler if you need an extra wheel, I have 3.

[kevinivek]

Mixed it up a bit, took out my stealth box just for kicks.

and added some good old wamp wamp.

That's good to hear. Im in the same situation with my other in claiming the person at fault.

Do worry about the refinished wheel. If the company they use if good at it then it'll look like new. Dont waste money on another wheel, spend it on a new set.

[gottiR32]

What was the install like for the wood floor...^^^

[Saabstory02]

Holler if you need an extra wheel, I have 3.

Do you now? Are they for sale? (I have at least 2 bent)

[Saabstory02]

This was actually last night; but I did the following much needed TLC:

• Oil Change
• Wiper replacement
• Tire Rotation
• Replaced 2 blown bulbs (1 side marker/1city light)
• Monster Mat cleaning
• Thorough Vaccuum
• Leather Conditioning
• Dash/trim clean and protection
• cleaned glass

My .:R shivered in delight this morning when I started her for work... Well, either that or my DSG clunked into reverse...
