[Stan.:R32]

Hi everyone,

Just want to slowly introduce my R32 and work I've done so far.
The car was imported from UK to Ireland back in 2006 by myself. 2003, DBP, 3-doors, sunroof, originally full leather. Its been a joy owning that car since, but for last two years the car has been locked up in my garage as I wanted to work on it in my own time. Everything I've done to my car I wanted done right and as much OEM style as possible.
I have to say massive thank you to Graeme for all his help with a lot of things and putting crazy ideas in my head.
All the wiring jobs are pretty much integrated into the original wiring loom so you wont really know it was done

The car is still off the road as I just have too much to do and unfortunately not enough dosh to do it all

I started a thread while ago about my Koenig electric seat conversion. This is them now all done and ready to go inside the car.
I converted from full leather to gorgeous anthracite inserts as I think they are awesome! The rear bench has been fitted with those as well and is already fitted inside the car.
The seats are fully electric with memory function. The mirror dip when in reverse also works nicely.
As far as I'm aware there isn't many of these done worldwide, so in a way I'm delighted with mine

Here is some pics:















Here's something extra:

OEM LED footlights for rear foot wells

And this is how the electric seats wiring loom was being integrated

Next are electric/heated/folding/memory OEM stubby mirrors with OEM LED puddle lights

The puddle lights came from Skoda Superb, I had to modify the plastic trim underneath the mirror to accomplish this:











I will try to update my thread as often as possible, all tho I'm not that much online so please be patient with me

wow im liking the electric seat idea that looks mint, but that wiring = BIGGGG HEADACHE!!! lol

 

[Stan.:R32]

Thanks lads, it does look like a tornado went through it LOL.
The wiring for my mk6 reverse camera got tucked in there as well

Looking great Stan

 

[m3stig]

a compass mirror? what the heck!!! do explain

 

[r32maco]

Should be called the gadget mk4 ! Great mods mate Oem ++

 

[Stan.:R32]

Cheers lads, will be updating this as much as I can

Most US Audis have them fitted. I really wanted one too but with a twist. None of those come with red ambient lights (like W8 light) so I integrated one into it. Not fully tho, hence the black box seen there as there isn't enough room to mount it all inside and have ambient lights and auto dimming on/off switch.
I'll try to make decent pics tomorrow.
The compass basically tells you which direction you are heading

i have a tiny switch for compass on/off/calibration mounted too

Seats look awesome, OEM++ definitely keeping an eye on your updates!

 

[alexmac]

Great work here mate! Look forward for more updates ????

Those seats look amazing

 

[Fat Head]

They look brand new!

 

[Stan.:R32]

Cant wait to get them fitted now.

"Audi Ambient Lights in door handles"

These took a while to do as I didn't have much room for error as I have the early Passat door handle fitted. Those really look good!

 

[PaulW]

I love these mods

 

[Stan.:R32]

I got the brakes refurbed while ago, good excuse to clean up behind the arch liners!

There was some loose bolt in there as well, ideas??

 

[Stan.:R32]

Finished my compass mirror today, it just needs to be calibrated again thats why its displaying 'C'.
Also fitted red LED into the sunroof switch

Now I can control auto dimming too, where original mirror that comes in the mk4 R32s is on all the time.

Thanks Stan.

I have followed along with these mods and there is an incredible amount of time, effort and dedication to get some of these things working OEM style in the R32.

All the mods were done to duplicate the factory installations as much as possible as well, including proper coloured wiring etc.

Just an amazing job overall.

Well done mate!

Fantastic work Stan.
