Like having a new car

Post by stevomepy » Wed Jul 15, 2009 11:35 am

Had my RS4 for 18months now - so was tossing up about changing it - got so far as ordering a new M3 but cancelled at last minute when I came up with this idea - decided to have it wrapped in white with a carbon effect roof- looks great! Like having a new car for £900! Also had a Gruppe M fitted as well as decatting it and had alcantara steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake - oh and rear wheel spacers. :lol:

Yeah will do mate - the steering wheel etc was done by an old boy who worked in the upholstery department originally - I bought them off a mate of mine with other stuff so dont know

Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

Again bought it off my mate who has had it for about 6 months - he is getting out of his RS for something whhich is more likely to mean him keeping his driving licence.

Will post some pics later

Klauster, how's the vinyl lasting? Any edges come up? What happens if you get a stone chip?
