Yeah, I'm struggling to see how it'll look good. I think a sleeker lower rail would look ok.

Look at pics of C7 RS6, B8 S/RS4. Roof blades look nice.

You can see what you think and decide when mines is finished. I went gloss because I think A,it looks better than the satin and B, I didn't want it to look like I was trying to copy a plus.

Black optics wasn't a RS6+ exclusive. There are loads that have it. My '52 avant has optics but my '53 'loon has alu. They're both non-plus. I think with a darker colour carry high-gloss optics, I can't see it happening on the avus avant.
Looking forward to pics of yours finished though. Mmmmm, fresh paint.

I knew it was an option but as far as I knew, all rs6+ had black optics and I just wanted it to be immediately differential.... I also like the gloss black pillars I have on my A8. Having the spare alu trims made the choice a lot easier though lol.

I'm looking forward to getting the car back but not the bill which is growing exponentially.

Can nobody on here potatochop blades onto a pic? I don't think it will work in the looks department, but I don't like change anyhoo so wadoo I know?
Green and black optics work a treat, green and silver don't. You made the right choice cryptic, for a change :thumbs:
Think Amars c6 has gloss, works on the darker colour cars, just can't see it on the mental machine bam. Plus, I won't teach you how to drive better at ADI this year if you go gloss.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!
