Thankyou for the warm welcomes!

More loving for the RS4 ready for Audi in the park and Edition 38 at the end of the month!

Got her up in the air and wheels off to go to powder coaters for refresh and change of colour
Image

and purchased these to get the car to sit level front and rear and a bit lower on the fresh wheels
Image
Image
Image

can get a great price on these if anyone is interested drop me a message! they will be fitted on Saturday with my wheels which i am hoping will be finished Saturday morning so i can attend AITP

Car is also booked in for a Full 2 day correction detail at Midland Car Care at the end of the month for Edition 38 so she is looking at her best! Pics of that will follow!

Your car looks awesome! The last picture by that church looks really good :thumbs: Thinking of getting mine lowered now and I'm SS+ also getting my wheels done - I have a black RS4 and think this colour will work well. What was the powder coat? Gun metal? Shame you could not make it to AITP - maybe your up for ADI?

looks good Ben, just need a de-tango to go with thsoe PIAA's. Also look at their 'night vision' front foglight bulb replacements, well worth doing; Revolution sell them if you are stuck where to buy.

Great picture and helping me make my decision to lower!! I've had KW coilovers on my last few motors, how does your RS4 ride on their springs? Thanks.

Thankyou both! the colour is pretty much what audi offer on there titanium package its matte gun metal and really finnishes the car off! the car gets so much more attention from by standers now i have ditched the silver! never liked silver for that reason as everyone has them and you just fit in.

Gavla i was annoyed i couldnt make it to AITP as i was looking forward to it but i will defiantly be at ADI! Because i missed AITP Sunday as the powder coaters messed up and didnt get my wheels back as promised Saturday when i collected them on Wednesday they said i could have them for £100 so i was well chuffed! that was tires off blasted powder coated and lacquered with tires back on and balanced for £100 :kissmyrings:

Thankyou :thumbs: Detango is on the cards well i have the bumper off as you can see i have the silver bulbs ready to replace them above! i will look into the foglight bulbs though i never have them on but if i ever did need to it would be good for them to match :beerchug:

Thankyou :beerchug:

Rides really well at the moment and the car feels a lot more planted and stable on the bends! i am yet to have them setup and alignment done as there still to factory alignment so will update in a couple of weeks once it has settled and i have had this done

Wow - that's a good price £100 for that lot :thumbs: Right I am sold going to have to do this now ;-)

I was thinking of carbon wrapping a few bits after seeing Jules and Lee Wong's car at AITP. I know carbon wrapping can be a slippery slope to go down but going to try and keep it subtle - front splitter - side panels. Your car’s stance now sits very well especially at the front as I think also the front is a little too high on std.

I see your down for ADI so will look forward to meeting you. Cheers, Gav
