She's not for sale = i did buy her! Just took ages to collect. I wanted new tyres ( it failed the MOT ) but they were only prepared to fit budgets. In the end i settled for 6mm part worn P Zeros. They had the scratch painted on the near side rear quarter done for me but it was a proper crap job. It had dirt, silicone and orange peel!! I was pretty cross but took the car - only because of our chats and your previous info on this forum mate. I've had the quarter re-painted now and she's brand new :biggrin2: The car really is a credit to you Chris. I've stuck a K&N in, uprated the DRL's, fitted a 2012 A3 media RNSE and led rear lights. I've quite honestly after owning M3's, R32's, RS's and many more, never had a car that turns heads or gets quite so many compliments. I'm well chuffed. Will get some pics up as soon as she's detailed. One thing i think they did, was swap over the wheels from another RS4 they had in .. just can't prove it ( The refurb job was crap and a heavy scuff on one of the rear wheels). Also the drivers door doesn't lock like you said. It bloody worked on the day!!! Never mind, i'll fix it. Very happy chappy indeed. Thanks again Chris for all you help and info before i bought her. Top bloke you are indeed :beerchug:

I would have posted earlier but i'm currently building a Fiesta Mk8 RS van for work and upcoming shows so busy busy busy!

Chris looked after the car in an amazing fashion. It really looked brand new inside and he gave me the heads up what needed doing before i bought. The outside was only let down by a small scratch - just a shame |Boss's bodyshop were <beep>! To be fair to Boss i haven't given them the chance to rectify the issues of the door or the paint job. However, I was very dissapointed regarding the fitment of budget tyres. The car is now indeed in show room condition and even considered offering it Audi to use for their upcoming promotion of the new B8....then i thought no chance!!!

I would put them on your "Dealers to Avoid List". I purchased YH07KSY on the link orignally posted at the weekend. They were supposed to sort out the scrathes / stone chips which they did and i was lucky to get a good job on the paint work from what i can see so far, however like yourself i was promised 2no new tyres and that they would remove the phone holder for me (cant stand it). Neither of these were done and i got home on sunday evening to find the front tyres well on the wear bars and a £500.00 tyre bill awaiting me as Boss were not even prepared to donate towards the tyres. Not impressed.......

My mods so far are :
LED rear lights
Video In Motion
2012 RNSE high definition screen
Multimedia input using a genuine Apple video lead
RS4 logo mats
Uprated DRL PIAA bulbs
Reversing camera that replaces no plate bulb holder

Saving up for a Gruppe air intake :0)

The spacers are my next mod. Can you recommend a supplier mate?
