Re: Just had the old girl detailed
Same colour as mine. And dark interior like mine too - leather or alcantara?
I think these look awesome in black with black interior - well worth the effort of polishing them up etc - just a fkkn aggro to keep on top of and black shows the dirt so quickly.

Re: Just had the old girl detailed
It looks like a dark interior in the pictures Matt but it's light grey with black piping. I wanted black but couldn't find the right one when we got her.
You are all right guys black is the best colour & the fastest

True! Mine's black alcantara interior with aluminium trim - I originally was looking for black with black leather interior and carbon trim - but when I saw the alcantara (including the wheel) with aluminium trim I was completely hooked. I've actually never seen another one like it - although there must be some, of course.

Re: Just had the old girl detailed
In fact this got me thinking about "options", I've just priced up the options mine came with:
* Base OTR Price : 59875
* Alcantara Seats : 1450
* Electric Steering Column : 345
* 3 Spoke Sports Wheel : 400
* Aluminium Fascia : 400
* Rear Window Blinds : 205
* Alcantara Headling : 2100 (but they all came with this, I think)
* Mirrors : 240+120
* Sunroof : 1035
* Double Glazing : 1100
* Base OTR Price : 59875
* Alcantara Seats : 1450
* Electric Steering Column : 345
* 3 Spoke Sports Wheel : 400
* Aluminium Fascia : 400
* Rear Window Blinds : 205
* Alcantara Headling : 2100 (but they all came with this, I think)
* Mirrors : 240+120
* Sunroof : 1035
* Double Glazing : 1100

I priced up mine once and I think it was close to £70k it's mental what they class as a "option"!MattV8 wrote:In fact this got me thinking about "options", I've just priced up the options mine came with:

I had my wheel recovered in alcantara not long after I got it

Re: Just had the old girl detailed
Do you find yourself smoking a pipe to go with your wood trim?
No matter where you go, there you are.

I've got the grey wood trim in mine and it's awful. Gonna wrap mine in gloss black too but extend it to the air vents and door handle surrounds.Jayjay101 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 10:30 ambam_bam wrote:Do you find yourself smoking a pipe to go with your wood trim?

Oh and i love the rs6 in black especially with black optics.
Re: Just had the old girl detailed
I didn't wanna say anything in case you guys all love wood - but not just on the RS6, generally, I don't know what the <beep> goes through peoples mind when they spec wood. There is no place for wood in a modern car.

My thoughts exactly!! And thank god it's not the same as the c5 s6 wood as that is nasty!!!MattV8 wrote:I didn't wanna say anything in case you guys all love wood - but not just on the RS6, generally, I don't know what the <beep> goes through peoples mind when they spec wood.
