Also, previous rides are all super neat. Audi wagon takes the cake imo
Thanks mate, I thought you could still get the car play on the smaller screen ?
Or maybe I'm wrong 🤪

Thanks, I definitely have a soft spot for low Audi estates I think.

The 330e has now joined the ranks of low cars :

Car looks awesome now! I assume you DIY'd it?
Is there any other modifications required?
Drop links etc that need to be swapped out to cater for the low?

Drop links dont appear to be needed. Although Airlift include them with their kit, I bought this kit from Only Charged Dubs and its one of their own Bags by OCD kits. It has a proper top mount without the thrust bearing issues that airlift use.

The top of the rear bag mount needed modification along with having the notch the top rear spring perch as the airline fitting was hard up against it which was annoying and took a while, really needed to be designed better but apparently airlift rear mounts also have similar issues. Someone needs to design them properly.

No front notch needed either. Front sits pretty low as you can tell and the rear is tucking hard.

Couple of iPhone bangers from today. 😂

Notice the rear sitting a little higher as the struts from OCD seemed to be knocking over uneven / rough surfaces. Switched back to the M sport shocks and the sound went away.
Waiting to hear back about replacements or a partial refund so I can get something like Bilstein shocks or even some BC Racing adjustable ones.

So,
due to planning a trip to Orlando next year the saving for customs splits has been put on hold so I picked up a set of Ferric Grey 437M to tide me over for a while.

Need to sort smaller tyres so I can air out all the way and still drive low, so will be doing a bit of test fitting and measuring over the next few weeks.

Awesome!

I'd love a set of these but don't want them staggard because I'm xDrive. Need to sort out a way of getting 4 of the narrower front wheels without having to buy them new. I feel like sourcing only the 19x8.5 fronts will be a challenge as people usually like to sell wheels individually or in sets of 4.
