Just saying hi!

Post by Kirstiestar » Thu Jul 10, 2014 12:06 am

Hey all, my name is Kirstie & I have just sold my Impreza to buy an RS4 which I bought on Sunday just gone.
It's a B7 saloon in Mugello blue pearl.
Pretty standard looking at the moment but have a few subtle ideas for it. Really happy with the car though, even if it is a little juicy ;)
I'm from Surrey by the way!

Cheers :)

Welcome to the club and forum! Saloons - a wise choice over that bread van thing alternative! :bigblink:

A few in the Kent, Sussex and Surrey (and even further afield) meet roughly every month at Boxhill - watch the tack day and meets section for the next one!

Enjoy the RS4 - epic is not the word... :beerchug:

Thankyou for the welcome :) I bought it from a dealer in Colchester so not too sure? Il get some pics up tonight, I've taken enough!
The estates are lovely but felt a saloon was more for me. Will definately be interested in some track days once I'm used to it! :)

Looks stunning Kirstie. One of my favourite colours. What plans do you have for it?

Very nice!! Nice colour!

Are the mirrors foldy ones?

Yes, that would look great with spacers!

I take it the mirrors aren't standard! Thought they were to be honest.

Not many plans really, just a few tweaks. Not keen on the chrome so that'll be going, the wheels are going gunmetal as I don't really like silver. Going to lower it a bit & fit spacers (need advice on this!) and lastly a miltek exhaust as it's a little quiet but that's all for now :)

I actually really had my heart set on a black one, but I saw this & just fell in love with it!

Mirrors - they are standard - Door Mirror Housing in body colour was a £85 extra.

Gunmetal would look good - maybe a twin-tone chrome? Lepsons in Gillingham do a cracking job.

Milltek? Mmmmm... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_k0VJ2- ... e=youtu.be or plenty of other systems out there!

Yes, the first one I saw was Black at Tonbridge Audi - great colour. But the rest of it just didn't stack up...
