I love them!

Also got some black rings front and rear and am toying with the idea of removing the RS4 (front&rear) badges.....

What do we think?

IMO not sure the black rings might be too much, looks nice now, matches exhaust & silver boot trim. I definatly wouldnt remove the RS4 badges.

They do look smart.
Can't help but wanting the black line separating the boot and wing lights to be gone like OEM. Kinda gives it a Saab look iyswim.

See I think i would love to have the black optics all round and then paint the alloys. I think it would be quite mean black all round!

Yeah, thats the only thing that I would be a fault with the design, but not enough to stop the purchase :biggrin3:

None so far, going to have a play with them later and see if there is anything to report. So far there was no issues with warning

Wow Edge,that looks great,really liking the lights,certainly nicer than mine and more oem looking
when on.

I actually like the silver window surrounds etc on the dark cars.
I would leave the rs4 badges,remove the rear 4 rings and fit black rings to the front :thumbs:

Another option is from the Revolution247 lads, paint the RS4 badge to match the new rings?

They look great Edge :thumbs: . We must catch-up as would love to see them in the flesh. I havent read the longer thread on the topic but do the reversing lights work ?

Each to their own on de-badge and black rings but personally I think your beasty looks fine as is.
