FOR SALE: We are selling some surplus stock and here have a brand new genuine Audi OEM set of A7/S7/RS7 C8 "High" Tail lights. This includes the left outer tail light, right outer tail light and the main centre long tail light, all connectors, trims etc required. These have never been used and still in original VW Group boxes and protective packaging. Ready to ship within the UK only.

These tail lights are required for the full animation and dynamic lighting functions found on this vehicle if spec'd at the factory. We had these for a client that unfortunately didnt go ahead so are now surplus stock.

All 3 tail lights retail at £1869 inc VAT RRP from Audi. We are offering the whole set and everything you see for £1000 inc VAT.

If you are considering retrofitting these to your A7/S7/RS7 C8 then be aware this is not plug and play and requires configuration/coding and wiring. We would be happy to offer a full supply + fit quote if desired also. If so, please email us your 17-Digit VIN to [email protected] and we can look into this for you.

Many thanks

Sometimes retrofits get installed but not quite finished correctly, and that is where we can step in. This RS3 8Y came to us with three retrofits that had been completed elsewhere but were not functioning as they should, and the owner had not been able to get them resolved anywhere else. We were happy to take a look.

The three systems involved were Audi Side Assist with Rear Cross Traffic Assist and Exit Warning, the Advanced Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, and the full 360 Overview Camera System.

With the Side Assist, the blind spot warning itself was working, but the Exit Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Assist were not active, causing a warning on the dashboard at every startup and the Exit Warning option was missing entirely from the MMI. We corrected the configuration and got all three functions working together as Audi intended.

The Advanced TPMS was not appearing under Servicing and Checks in the MMI, and the units were set to Bar and Fahrenheit rather than PSI and Celsius. We reconfigured the TPMS module correctly for the RS3 8Y and it now displays properly on both the Virtual Cockpit and MMI with the correct units.

The 360 Camera system had not been calibrated and had an error where the driver and passenger doors were displaying swapped on screen. We updated the software, corrected the coding for UK right-hand drive, and carried out a full calibration. The system now works exactly as it should.

All three retrofits are now fully operational on this RS3 8Y. We know these systems extremely well, and whether it is a fresh retrofit or resolving an existing one, you can be confident it will be done properly.

If you have a retrofit that is not working correctly, or you are looking to have one done right the first time, drop us an email with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number to [email protected] and we will take it from there.

Cheers, Andy

One of the most satisfying retrofits we carry out here at Audi Upgrades is the full Park Assist system on the Audi A3 8Y, and this S-Line is a great example of why it makes such a difference.

The owner came to us having been disappointed that the car left the factory with no parking sensors at all. On the 8Y A3, there are essentially two official routes - rear sensors only, or the full Park Assist package. It is also possible to retrofit front and rear sensors without the full system if that suits your needs better, but in this case the decision was made to go the whole way.

The full Park Assist retrofit means the car can now autonomously park and unpark itself, and the MMI displays the full visual and audible parking guidance you would expect from a top-spec Audi. The car already had a factory rear view camera, so the full system now ties everything together beautifully.

We supply and fit everything needed for this kind of retrofit, including having the parking sensors professionally painted to match the exact vehicle body colour through our approved VW Bodyshop. The end result looks completely factory and works exactly as Audi intended.

If you have an A3 8Y or any other Audi and want to explore what parking upgrades are available for your specific vehicle, drop us an email with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number to [email protected] and we will take a look at what options are open to you.

Working on this beautiful 2017 Audi TT MK3 Convertible for a returning client - this time retrofitting the full Audi Side Assist (Blind Spot Warning) system along with fitting an aftermarket honeycomb gloss black front grille. The Side Assist system on the TT MK3 is incredibly rare to see but completely achievable with the right expertise. The installation includes brand new wing mirror covers painted in Audi Gloss Black to accommodate the Side Assist LEDs, plus full dealer level calibration of the entire system. The client supplied the honeycomb grille which really transforms the front end appearance - what an absolutely stunning example of this model. If you're interested in adding Side Assist or other upgrades to your Audi, email [email protected] with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number and let's discuss what's possible for your car.

Working on this gorgeous 2023 Audi SQ2 was an absolute pleasure. The client wanted genuine Audi 4-Ring puddle lights fitted to the front doors, and what a difference this small upgrade makes. These authentic puddle lights really lift the vehicle to a new level, adding that premium touch that Audi owners appreciate. Sometimes it's the subtle details that make the biggest impact on your daily driving experience. If you're interested in adding genuine Audi puddle lights to your vehicle, email [email protected] with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number and we can discuss options for your specific model.

This 2014 S3 8V had the Genuine Audi Cruise Control system fitted. The Genuine kit from Audi which is officially activated on the VW Group system and registered to the VIN of the car. Includes the entire kit required. A great and useful upgrade that transforms the driving experience on longer journeys. The genuine Audi components ensure perfect integration with the vehicle's existing systems, maintaining that factory-quality finish and functionality you'd expect. If you're interested in adding cruise control to your Audi, email [email protected] with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number. Cheers, Andy

The 360 Camera system is one of those features that really transforms the driving experience, especially on a performance car like the RS3. This particular 2026 Audi RS3 Facelift was missing this key option from the factory, so we retrofitted a complete genuine 360 Camera system. The new SFD2 cyber security controls in these latest models add complexity to the coding process, but with the right expertise and genuine Audi parts, we can integrate these systems exactly as they would come from the factory. All genuine components including new wing mirrors, coded to factory specification and fully calibrated for perfect operation. It's incredibly satisfying to add functionality that enhances both safety and convenience to such a stunning vehicle. If you're interested in adding 360 Camera to your Audi, email [email protected] with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number. Cheers, Andy

One of our returning clients approached us with an interesting question - could we upgrade the centre tunnel of his 2023 RS3 to the facelift version with enhanced ambient lighting around the edges and cupholders? After some research, we determined it was absolutely possible since his car already had the Genuine OEM Multi-Colour Interior Ambient lighting system. Using all brand new Genuine Audi RS3 Facelift parts, we replaced the entire centre console including new cubby illuminated USB ports and all genuine LEDs to transform the interior of this stunning vehicle. This upgrade is perfect for anyone with a pre-facelift A3/S3/RS3 8Y that has the OEM Multi-Colour interior ambient lighting fitted from factory or retrofitted by us. The transformation really is remarkable. If you'd like to explore this upgrade for your Audi, email us at [email protected] with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number and we'll check compatibility. Cheers, Andy

Not every job needs to be a complex modification. Sometimes a straightforward update makes all the difference, and that is exactly the case with this 2016 Audi A3 8V. The owner came to us with the original 2016 map database still loaded on their navigation system. We updated it to the latest and final available maps, which are the 2023 edition. That is a seven-year jump in map data, and the difference in accuracy and usability is significant. What makes this update particularly worthwhile is that it is a fully official activation, registered against the Audi database and tied to the VIN of the vehicle. This is not a workaround or a copied map file. It is the genuine article, done properly. If your Audi is still running on ageing navigation maps, it is worth getting this sorted. The roads have changed a lot over the years and having accurate, up to date maps makes everyday driving noticeably better. If you would like to know more or book your vehicle in, drop us an email at [email protected] with your 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number and we will get back to you. Cheers, Andy
