New cosmetic change has nicely improved the interior. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.
I still need to repin the connector to get the MMI working properly and change the badge to RS4 but otherwise, an easy upgrade.

I have that same wheel. My first attempt was with a Uro wheel but really missed the buttons. And yes, the S-Line is fine! Where did you get it?

Not sure about the pins - would you remember which ones you had to change?
ECS is selling the RS4 badge for $83 (unbelievable) so I'm in no rush.

Next upgrade is the 380mm JHM LW rotors. I'm due to change all 4 (it still has the original brakes!) so that should make it handle a little better. I bought them in January (they were on sale) and glad I did - they've gone up in price...

Pardon for going waaaay off topic, but I don't understood the point of lightweight rotors. I get the weight thing, I'm one of the biggest weight weenies out there. If weight is a no-compromise goal, then brake rotors certainly will pay big dividends. But iron rotors need mass to dissipate heat and the stock Brembos already have a lightweight aluminum hat. Furthermore, skimping on mass makes the unit more prone to lateral runout (warping). That's pretty rare in a strong, beefy rotor but I've seen the thin ones go bad pretty much every time. I have no experience whatsoever with the JHM rotors and never even bought anything JHM.

A different (repinned) wiring harness is needed. Alex @ Europrice sells them for around $100. I forgot what doesn't work without the harness, maybe someone else knows/remembers.
