Default New interior upgrade.

It's been a while since I last posted as I moved into a new house and was contemplating selling the Audi for awhile, but all is good now and I have been knee deep into projects to get the Audi better than ever. First off is a new interior. My guy that was doing the CF work for me had to have some surgery done on his back but he is now up and running at full speed so now would be a good time to have some work done as he has been pumping out the trim for Audi's and Mercedes vehicles.

I got a hold of some RS4 door handles and it makes a big difference on the impact of the look. The U.S. only came with the chrome handles while in Germany, they got a nice black powder coated set of door handles. I found a set in Germany and ordered them along with a Euro cluster, that will come later. So here is a little teaser shot of the updates.

I actually stopped working on the car just to post this up .................... ..................... back to work!

I love the look. I've been kicking around the idea to have mine black anodized this summer, for kind of a black chrome look. The satin black looks great though - big fan of it

I love the suede (microfiber?) armrests. I really want to redo the entire upholstery in my car. That seems like a great starting place.

Thanks for the comment guys, This is actually part of a full interior upgrade/color change. My interior is beige with different shades of brown thrown in. I came across the door panels and liked the impact of the color change so much that I found a full interior from an S4 and was able to get most of the interior pieces including the dash and carpet.

Here is the project that lies ahead of me as well as all the parts that have been accumulated for this transformation. Let me know what you think.

What it looks like now:

Interior pieces for the change: (I also have the glove box, lower steering wheel cover, carpet and floor mats) The A,B, and C pillars and headliner will be done by a local upholstery shop in suede to match the seats and door inserts.

I really like your car, nicely done. I'm going to be turning my interior trim into a carbon fiber look in a few days, if it turns out right I'll make sure to post.

The car is running great and there will be a few additional CF pieces as well, but I am keeping that under wraps until it is completed .........

I was a little m.i.a. but all is good now and back on track to be completed soon.

AFR. I think you should change your armrest back to black...it's the only thing that really throws it off

Nice to see you're back and still working on the car!
Like always, the car is looking great with those add-ons. Are you replacing the steering wheel or you're really digging the one you have?

Why not upgrade to bucket seats with CF?
