Updated nose details
5 Attachment(s)
Here is the details of my recent collision repair. Since the front had damage, I replaced some front parts of what I wanted. Replaced the front bumper cover with 2007 S8 cover, fog lights, and fog light covers. I also replaced the grill with a 2008 W12. I prefered that one over the gray S8 grill. The repair replaced every bumper insert and chrome trim, both brand new headlight assemblies as well as both front fenders. Also replaced were the radiator and hoses, A/C condenser, both cooling fans with shroud, serpentine belt, torque mount, inner fender, plastic cover underneath, all four upper control arm bushings, and all sorts of little parts under and behind the bumper cover. All parts were OE. Also the Audi dealer aligned and repined some new wiring connectors. They actually put the control arm bushings in.
I also changed the e-brake switch, start top switch, and S8 brake anti-rattle clips/covers. Here are some pictures, enjoy. The last one is a picture of her getting two coats of wax at my local hand wash service. |
Looks very nice indeed.

On a different note, have you had any issues with the K&N filters? I've been eyeing the BMC version, but the cost different isn't insignificant (~160 vs 80) |
Avoid K&N filters on the A& S 8's. The oil seems to shorten the life of the Mass Airflow Sensors.

Obviously I cannot feel any power difference but my cars will get around 10 to 15 miles more per tank of gas. The lower one being the W12. I don't think much will help with the W12. |
