Re: My Rs4 Project
Hi Rick_RS4
Please can you tell me what heights you're running front and rear ie ground to top of wheel arch.
I'm Front 64cm & Rear 65cm. I'm running 20" with 255 30 20's with a tiny bit of rub on the NSF so having the arches rolled tomorrow. I fancy going lower though !

Re: My Rs4 Project
my parts arrived from argon the other day but they were unfinished (not a complaint as they were free)
anyway when they arrived they looked like this
but they didnt fit too well, i think argon were trying to design covers for people so all they had to do was stick it over, but it looked rough where the carbon met the wheel leather, i think if they just skinned it it would have been better but thats just me,
i had a spare front silver panel that bought from a member but i had to cut that down because the ends overlapped the leather.
here is how it fitted
so after many hours of dremmel and sanding and test fitting, i used fiberglass resin and filled the inside with it,, i tied the front and rear together as they bonded to make the join as minimal as possible.
after it had dried i had to sand the resin down from my work and from where the masking i used to protect the finish had pulled the lacquer aff in parts, so sand sand sand, then i did about 3 dry coats and one final wet coat of clear also over the badge to protect it from peeling as it usually
and here is the result

Re: My Rs4 Project
Looks good Rick. I'd like to see it complete with airbag and in the flesh to make final judgement. Been toying with this idea for a while but wasn't sure how well it would work.
Re: My Rs4 Project
