Pretty sure I saw your car outside St James Park / Sandman Signature Hotel last Tuesday. Had to double take because of the C6 wheels.

The splitter do not need modifying, just need to make some rubber spacers (different thickness) as the mounting surface of the splitter is not flat.

I got the Audi A4 DTM Front Bumper Fitting Kit, which includes the Carbon Fibre Splitter and some fixings from eBay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A4-8E-DT ... 25670ff4f4

All you need is some 25mm body kit mounting double sided tapes, clip-on nuts and screws.

I did mine with the bumper on the car, but it may be easier and less likely to puncture any hose when drilling and cutting slots on the underside of the bumper.

1. Make rubber spacers and stick on to the splitter with double sided mounting tapes.
2. Put splitter against bumper and mark off the mounting holes.
3. Drill holes and cut slots to put on clip-on nuts.
4. Mount splitter with double sided tape and screws.
5. Job done, stand back and admire.

ps How did you make your photo attachments? I could only attach large photos, unlike yours.

It could have been me, I pass it every night on my way home. Didn't notice your car, so I assume you were posing in the Shark Club.

I was in the Shark Club ( :drink: ) and the RS was parked behind The Strawberry.

Did you get your DTM splitter from TPS?

I would have throught you could hear me before you saw me (I like to give it some sticks to hear the sport cat non-resonated millteks), you must have been too busy dancing to the loud music! :rocker:

TBH you were stationary at the lights outside which is why I spotted the C6 rims and then checked to see if it was an RS4. At the time I was aurally distracted by a particularly nice and very attentive Canadian waitress, no competition. Not very often I give a 20% tip but she looked like she needed as she was so scantily clad! :bigblink:

Nice one. You've got that at a good price, the last used one I saw on eBay went for about £200 delivered.

I've mention it to Rick_RS4 and I didn't want to say anything on here until the auction is finished.

I'll have a look at it when it arrives, I'm still not 100% sure it will look right on my car, but we shall see... otherwise it will go on here for what I paid for it

To me it needed it, the front end looks too high, especially on standard suspension. It also looks oem and made for the car, not like some after thought add-on.
