what's the catch?

Reads well although car is too early for black optics and I think they got the back one a bit wrong (should be colour coded NOT black).

I wonder what a "shocker" is and a "flat steering wheel"? The optics looks like a wrap to me, I doubt the authenticity of the rear blind too.


Looks just like this one http://www.autoprestigecars.co.uk/detai ... D=12368091

You could get black optic pack but you are right it was not on this car from the factory. The grill looks too matt and the trim looks like it has been sprayed or wrapped.

Yes, grill surround looks matt rather than gloss.

They always have a few RS4's in stock,nearly always Sprint with optics and sometimes with carbon roofs.They do the mods in house.

Terry, I've never seen a black optic car with tango headlamps, not from factory anyway.
Just realised, it's West Yorkshire, could it possibly be Cat D?

They shift alot or rs4s at not alot more than trade money,there no fools and know buckets are on 90% of buyers must have list so buy well to sell well and make sure it goes.Its cheap even for having recaros so only an inspection will suss the rest of it out.Weve seen a few shocking examples lately from this neck of the woods so...........

When I ordered mine I choose the optics pack at the time of the tango lamps however my car came as a 2007 model the brochure showed a 2006 model with the optics pack I do not know if any of the early cars were ever delivered with it though.

The 1 company Autoprestige, appear to have as many RS4's for sale as the whole of Audi UK, namely 35 across all variants
