Wasn't sure if I wanted to try and match the aluminium look or go completely different, after what I did today I'm glad I went with the carbon

Cheers guys. Took about 30mins to get the console out, 5mins to fill the dents etc, 45min sanding, 1hr 30min to wrap it, 30mins to rebuild the car. Have to add on the curing time for the filler but if it was being done by someone who actually knows how to wrap it's a fairly quick and easy job. Now debating whether to do the door trims 🤔

When I got my Q5, I was painfully aware of just how scratched and dented the centre trim was. Decided it was finally time to rip out the whole centre console so I could remove the offending trim. Replacing with a standard trim would just end up the same way, the carbon replacements are either too expensive or poor fitting so instead I used some alloy wheel repair filler to fill in all the dents and scratches. After a few hours to cure I got on with the boring job of sanding it down. Got some carbon fibre wrap and set to work. Took me forever to get to this stage but as it was my first attempt at wrapping I expected as much. Carefully put everything back together and here is the end result. Think it's turned out rather nicely 😎

With his attitude that may be a very long wait.

Ctek have a very good reputation. From my Skyline days a lot of owners used to have them connected up for the show cars. I've been using the NoCo Genius 10 on my previous Mondeo and now on the Q5. As standard it comes with croc-clips, but you can get an eyelet connector (or unscrew the croc clips) which can be bolted to the battery permanently and then you just plug in the NoCo charger when you need it.

Sounds like the problem I had with my Mondeo. You could start filling up but the pump would constantly click off. Eventually got so bad that fuel would be blown out the fill pipe and over me. That was due to the charcoal canister being blocked, the fuel tank couldn't empty the vapours through the canister so it was pressurising when filling up.

Hope it all fit's ok for you Dave 👍

8R0807819H or 8R0807819H 1RR (same cover but in platinum grey) They should be the part number you need https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204873968501?_skw=8R0807819H&itmmeta=01JK98F4R6J36J3S64YAYTFVES&hash=item2fb370ab75:g:dvsAAOSwRHNmhAAI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkFGzie31iNsi68%2BL49Lg0o6phKDsVpQ0Q5zkgk48RBOfGN5dt7UiLaXkbx%2Fd0Psp%2FCLoHNEnX%2B%2FkoMvVq3yARU4G0oR2X2NzvgInPbBf8nglJuMe2XC4CqM4gQmZKOG%2FH7GbyHWvyiKCliJiaj%2FRqHkrQLb7VL62LODY1RobnqAjuoGwx9GYikSRCZsmkMyHA65hmA7r6BsHHz1tksVQItuWX%2FNUgLRFSfA%2BycUBMsBTMNDh6B6DcvdpoAi9Ptzx0%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR57MvKiaZQ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404403072178?_skw=8R0807819H&epid=1119758931&itmmeta=01JK98F4R6P1SQPSQE0KSFKVY2&hash=item5e284d2cb2:g:qf4AAOSwzhxkwM1R&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKm1%2FX%2BgrdkssRngJOv4VRgy48scL2ZBnDZPBhDx9We5cL0qRU2fvxRbH28Xh2yneynYK%2FhZTpjmRVH6ccMUwmFDQ6EV3iUMSk3i0Y8Gg%2BO6ajGLf7WWTS%2BT3htRNrGR9LpqvJ1NP7F%2Bj3CdBaGYAHfg6fYoN4XO0X7aTTMxGL9BdmoDrEvGchKKVhtALLZf%2FOqT3VriLsind0wbAOI14AcdEiK0bup4hZFUMgokQgC3iIa6pYM%2Bxfb4izDEkEQH7Vw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6DMvKiaZQ Hope that's of some help to you.

Can you tell me which of these PR codes are on your options sticker? It's stuck on he plastic trim/hatch that covers the battery. 2K3 2K4 2K7 2K8 VJ2 VJ3 VB0 VB1 They all relate to what type of rear bumper you have and should narrow down the part number your after.

Looks like it should fit. Have a look at - https://www.audienthusiasts.com/ProjectSteeringSwap.html

I agree, one of the first things I did after getting my Q5 was go searching for the VAG universal one. Got mine from Aliexpress for about £7 and it's agreed with what the MMI says so I'm happy.
