Very nice

Someone just asked me if mine is the plus?
They said because of my black tips..
Carbon interior black seats white piping and black grill.

I said I don't think so as wouldn't it have a number badge on console?

Could be a million reasons.

There are option codes in the service book or the factory sticker in the spare wheel well. There's a site that decodes those and lists your options.
All saloons were 'standard' trims only differences were options or 'exclusive' options by Audi. You could order them with black optics.

The car looks great, I bet that's a pretty fun move from a quatraporte :)

Only think that rubs me wrong is the mirrors being painted instead of the aluminium ones usually on the S/RS models. Makes it look a little more stealth though so not completely a bad thing.

I bought a set of these a few months ago as my plus/minus buttons had lost their icons. They fit about 99% and are slightly darker than the originals but are a bit tidier than before (and cheaper than buying a new unit - I paid about £13 posted for mine.)

Bought a set too. Lol
Cheers

The quatroporte felt he'll of a lot faster to be honest. Think due to gearbox etc.

And nowhere near my gtr.
But long as it can pull my caravan. Who cares lol.

God no one else put anymore ideas up as I'll be buying everything.

The RS6 shouldn't pull a caravan. There was no homologation for towing, it's unsure that you'll get insurance while towing. More importantly you will probably lunch the gearbox in no time flat.
No matter where you go, there you are.
