how about this?

just kidding, but I'd love something a bit aggressive and loving where this is going.

I'm based in australia, so would love to hear on shipping costs to Oz.

I know a few people over here that would be interested also.

I'd suggest that once some ideas are really warming, the idea gets posted on audizine as well, to generate additional order size and reduce cost. I know this topic has been discussed there in the past also

Went to Argon today for a progress report and I'm amazed at how quick they can turn things around. The MDF form for the mould has been made and I've appended photos. It's subtly aggressive in shape, not too chavy and will suit the RS4 curves perfectly.
Have a look, post comments and then we need to commit by paying a deposit to enable Argon to create the mould. We need 10 minimum for them to begin and it will be 7 days from start to mould production, 1 week to first off then a further week for any more.

I know I'm not part of the original batch but shouldn't the outer corners where it bends round to the side be a bit more rounded and not so angular (approximately in front of the fog lights is the bit I'm talking about)?

Blooming marvelous though!

I see what you mean mike, but I like it. I think it gives the the front a bit more aggressive look

It was obviously deliberate - why would you want the same as every other spoiler?

I'm not sure I like it, need to see the finished product before I commit

With respect, that's not at all helpful. We need constructive comments in order to agree a design. Then we need 10 deposits to commit in order for Argon to tool up FOC. It would be unfair for the initial buyers to pay for the initial tooling, then for those sidelining to jump in later.

Well for me and the ride height of my car plus my driveway is very steep I don't think it will work as I reckon it will get wrecked in no time, but by the sounds of it most people like it, so I wouldn't stress go for what most people want :thumbs:
