Yes N11LS

I always liked it in white but love it now,nothing beats a beautiful clean shiny metallic paintwork.

Put the rings back and leave the RS4 badge IMO,also love how it sits :thumbs:

Looking good Niils, always liked Mugello. Paint is so much better than vinyl. Hope you are putting the rings back on.

re badges, you could always put them back but use (or make) 'non-red' versions -? (Carbon, Black, Grey or try to match the Blue...)

Anyway, looking good now..

It's only bacause the badges had to be removed, otherwise i would leave them as is, and the red on the RS tie in nicely with my Red calipers too

This is exactly what i've been considering, hmmm may do this...

When are you going to make an appearance?
Shane :beerchug: LOL it has been a while, well, i'm hoping to make an appearance and 'prove' at the mini meet Graeme is proposing for next Weds, so hopefully we can catch up then mate

Jules, cheers mate, 4 Rings are defo going back on, but still undecided about the RS badges

DK, Elephant are looking after me mate, from the £2500 renewal from shitty SWIFTCOVER, the best I could get was £1380 with £2000 excess with elephant, but after months of arguing my case with F-in Swift, I managed to salvage some NCD back, so now paying a reasonable £1100ish with £1000 excess.

Rick, you not a fan of the wheels mate? I like to put my stamp on my cars as much as I like the OEM wheels, i prefer these

Thanks Paul, Edge, Alex, Iain, appreciate your comments, and glad you like!
It's weird as i've got that 'new car' feeling all over again, and love it even more :kissmyrings:

P.S Lee, I'm possibly up norf next month for the 2nd weekend, maybe we can meet up, with yourself, Jules etc, i'd like to sample the charged RS and hear Jules beast too

Will drop you boys a PM nearer the time

You and me both! Shittin myself is an understatement, especially after hearing a few horror stories, and to be honest I didn't think removal of the wrap would be as difficult and painstaking as it was, I was advised by Totally Dynamic (who wrapped the car) that if i apply heat evenly, the wrap 'should' start to come away in fairly large sheets... BOLLOCKS!!!!

It came of bit, by bit, by bit, by......... bit....... by....................... bit......................

Have I mentioned how much I hate the stuff???!

Anyway all sorted now, Jules hopefully you'll have you car back by next month, i'll be in touch mate

That does look like a massive ballache, I'd rather eat my own head. On a funny note, you could've made a patchwork like a Holstein cow, then driven around for a couple of days. Maybe even hooked up a bullhorn...
<beep> I'm bored.

Wow she looks lovely back in the blue. Was thinking about getting a wrap. Always loved pearlescent white and the wrap seems a good idea. Mine is phantom black. How good was the job of the wrap and how does it look in comparison to real paint??

Thanks

I was thinking this too.

Looks a balls ache! Great colour underneath. There are not that many Mugello cars on here. Think we only had 1 (out of (30ish cars) at the National RS4 meet last year.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar
