A light sensor that auto enables headlights on a 850?! Yes. I have it installed currently in my 850R and have found it to be far too sensitive to light across the entire range of the sensitivity setting. Sometimes when the sensor ends up having modern headlights shine onto it (like lifted trucks that are oncoming, or vehicles turning into the oncoming lane from sloping side streets) it will completely shut off the headlights momentarily. I need to either modify the electronics or tint the window that the sensor is behind to make it useful. If it actually worked well it would be cool.

The shape of the grille eluded to it being an Audi, but other than that, it's pretty homogenous. Congrats though! lol My pics suck and it does look pretty homogenous from that angle. I think part of the reason is because the car came with a black optics package, which blacks out all of the badges, trim, etc. It looks more like an Audi without the package. Also, the front end definitely needs a lip (which is on order), and I'm not a huge fan of the wheels, so those will need to be replaced. But it's AWD, has a turbo v6 with 356hp and 369tq, and a red diamond-stitched leather interior. It hauls ass. Interior pic below, plus some better pics from google, including without the black optics stuff. 15 minutes ago, gmsgltr said: believe it when i see it also - sweet car date? 😘

Maybe you could hook us up with a VAG sub-forum on VS? Seems to be plenty of interest..?

I've always been drawn to Audi because they don't over-design their cars. They're one of the few that have kept the lines of the car simple and without a bunch of doodads. My B6 Avant is probably the one I miss the most. Such a fantastic car. Too small for a family of 3 with a dog, and now much too small for a family of 5. 🤷♂️
gmsgltr Posted January 4, 2023 Report Posted January 4, 2023 i like the black optics on a white one - looks great i agree on the wheels too - first thing! but wait... you are allowed to mod it!?!?!?!?! I keep getting threats if I mod whatever next car I get lol yes lets have a car date soon, its been too long!

It's the perfect combo of sporty and luxury. I'm gonna make some basic changes like wheels, front lip, and possibly springs. A tune is definitely planned - stage 1 tune bumps the power to 428hp and 567tq 😮. 3 hours ago, gmsgltr said: i like the black optics on a white one - looks great i agree on the wheels too - first thing! but wait... you are allowed to mod it!?!?!?!?!

Changed the audi grille emblem to chrome and added a CF front lip. The front bumper sucks without a lip, and the front grille just looks like a black void without the chrome emblem. Perfect now IMO.
