Hi everyone,
New member here. This is my baby:
I love everything about her except the cheap interior. I have a crazy idea I might be looking to try so any input or advice is much appreciated.
How crazy would it be to transplant an Audi A4 interior into my C5? I can get all the interior parts for the Audi from a friend in Germany used. I'm talking the whole dash, center console and door trim. Obviously I will be doing it at a shop that have done some crazy stuff. I know the measurements will be different and they'll need to do some extensive cutting and welding for the dash and doors but what other problems do you think I'll have?
Has anybody done something like this? Or should I just get an S4 instead
Thanks,
- Ray

Why not give a company like www.callawaycars.com a call. They do complete interiors - here is one done recently:
(All plastic is now covered in German leather and the carpeting is wool - center console is dark blue Carbon Fiber)
(More can be seen at the GALLERY @ www.callawayownersgroup.com under the C12 images)

I vote wrapping with leather and custom stitching with some custom work to the door panels. Would look and feel amazing. Also , I think the blue and white interior looks amazing. Compairing that kind of quality work to a honda interior is just sad.

I have an A4. Personally I think the interior is nice, but not that much better than whats in my Vette. Also the interior components on my A4 all run through an interior VAG system that runs off a digital voltage instead of a straight 12vdc system. You are looking at big $$ to do this and personally think it is a waste and a custom made interior would cost less and if done right, wont decrease the value of the car like the audi interior would.
