Here is where I got up to on my interior, I still need to get the air bag installed and glove box put in, then I can take the carpet and door panels off and line everything with SecondSkin CLD, and MLV. then Install my black carpet down and That should conclude the interior and I can move on to exhaust. Hopefully I’ll have her done soon because with the new suspension she has become much more enjoyable to drive. I can’t wait to get her all finished and enjoy her

That’s awesome man. Looks great did you need a specific part number for the radio.

#332

Thanks! I love the silver nappa with black interior, its beautiful…What do you mean? The Radio is a OEM RSN-E, Fits in all B7 and B6’s or are you talking about the Auxiliary OEM mod?

After almost 3 days I’m done with the wrap, hoping to find a place to hydro dip it and I think it would look better that way but I haven’t found one yet so I’ll probably keep the Piano black on until then. For now haven’t made much progress the next job is going to be a lot of work sound proofing and doing the carpet but hopefully it’ll be worth it. Here her some pics of the Carbon wrap and my heated seat harness I made as they come from the factory. And I’ll try to find some pictures of the second skin MLV and CLD if I can.

Short review on the Ohlins, I don’t have anything to compare to but stock sport and I honestly can’t say they would be better than a brand new 02 sport suspension with B5 perches up front but that would actually cost more than the ohlins and not be as stiff. I really think they are very nice but as I read they were designed to not need a sway bar which I think is not true because I think it could use at least the RS4 bar if not a S4 hotchkis kit. I need to make some adjustments to get to 25" around but I still don’t see the ride changing at all. All in all they are a great setup and I like them a lot the car was definitely due for suspension overhaul.

Here are the Part numbers if you wanted to add heated seats yourself All you need is some wire and a few plugs.

B6/B7 HVAC Unit with heated controls

3B0-972-734 x2

380-972-712 x2

2 Green Connectors Not sure on Part number for these but it shouldn’t be hard to find. The dealer can tell you, I got it from them once but can’t find it. They won’t have info on the other connects most likely as they could not figure that part out for me.

Wire with connectors, some connectors are different sizes, you’ll just have to pick which ones when you buy the connectors. Dealer should stock all sizes.

Pin 1 Green - Pin 1 on Black 8 pin connector
Pin 2 Green - Pin 2 on Black 8 pin connector
Pin 3 Green - Pin 3 on Black 8 Pin connector
Pin 4 Green - Pin 4 on Black 8 Pin Connector
Pin 5/6 Green Empty
Pin 6/7/8 Black Empty
Pin 3 also splices in middle to connect to Pin 2 on Black 2 pin connector
Pin 1 on Black 2 pin Connects to Pin 5 on Black 8 Pin connector

I have pictures of these connections if anyone is confused pm me I’ll send you them. Its pretty straight forward.

After a LOT of research I decided to go with Second Skin sound deadening products. They have 3 sound barriers and then 3 in a regular line the PRO Line is all a thicker and higher quality then the regular line. I chose to use the Sound Damplifier Pro (CLD) Constraint Layer Deadener which is a vibration, heat and the noise deadener of noise that comes from the vibrations. It says noise dampener but it really only dampens the noise in a sense of removing vibrations that are causing noise. Luxury Liner Pro is a noise barrier. It goes on top of a vibration damper like the Damplifier Pro mat, in order to block airborne sound waves & create a silent car. I ordered 73 square feet damplifer pro which is 44 sheets which is 200$ plus shipping for 36.5 sq ft. And then I ordered 72 sq ft of the Luxury Liner pro which is 210$ per 36 sq ft. so all in all it was like 800$ plus shipping but I paid a little less getting it from Amazon. Also 2 Cans of 3m 90 High Strength Temp Adhesive which is about 50$ for 2 cans so all in all it was close to 1k for materials. Most Shops would want at around 1k for install but I am hoping to do it myself while the carpet is out. It might take me some time because I’m OCD and haven’t done a lot of work on my car until recently. If anyone has any tips for advice for install don’t hesitate its much appreciated.
Here is a couple pics showing the thickness of each, and the new style of Black foil they use on the damplifier pro which I think is better than the silver foil.

Looking good!

FWIW, RS4 silver nappa seats came with matching door cards, pillars and headliner, but all the carpet is black!

Thanks! Yea I can’t wait to get the black carpet in I have it all cleaned and it looks like new and will make it look a lot better. I have a silver arm rest lid and I had found some door cards but dude wanted like a lot for them so I figure I could get a body shop to match them when they refurbish my seats I figure it wouldn’t cost much to wrap a few pieces of leather to match them on the door.

However, I don’t think they matched the headliner. The headliner should be black IIRC. I could be wrong because the speaker cover on the rear sub is supposed to be matching too I think so maybe the headliner and pillars are too. Maybe one of the RS4 guys can confirm it that has it. Also I have Nappa Silver seats from a S4. I didn’t want the RS4 seats that say RS4 on them in an A4 maybe I’m weird but I think it would be lame. I like that they say Recaro. So obviously in a S4 the headliner would be black maybe its different in the RS4. Also that picture you posted looks like it could be from a cabrio, which could also have different headliner as well than other models.

Every time I try to source one through a scrap yard they ask me for a part number. That’s why I asked. I would wonder to know the part numbers across the units.

That’s my RS4 in the picture. The headliner is identical to the a-pillar in my photo. LMK if you want pictures of anything in particular!
