B7 RS4 Picture Thread

You're welcome re the welcome, now, de-tango for the win.

Yup, the 4 of us are actually planning on doing the "clear corner" mod which is what we call it here in the USA. At least that's what I assume you are referring to with "de-tango".

He's talking about using a silver-coated bulb in your turn signal (we call it your indicator) so the headlight cluster has no orange in it. You might be talkking about removing the US-spec reflector from the bumper gills? I'd say do both.

Yes, that is the clear corner mod although for us its a little more than simply replacing the bulb. I'm also having the US spec reflector wrapped so that it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

I've got a few pics to upload. Wondering whether I need to obscure the number plate. What's the rationale behind doing this? Is there a significant security threat?
Edit: answered my own question. Anyone can get the owner's details (including registered address) from the DVLA is they make up a legitimate excuse. Car parked in middle of my lawn etc.

Dig it, v nice!
Avus?

[MartayMcFly]

wheel sizes, jacko?

[jacko1066]

Yes mate Avus silver , and wheels are 20x10.5 all round with 20mm spacers front and 25mm rear

Quoting spacer size is almost pointless unless you tell you the offset too.

Is that 20/25mm per side or total per axle? 10.5" rims with 20 or even 10mm spacers must mean a high offset. Must be about ET40 with 10mm spacers per side or ET50 if that is 20mm per side.

[jacko1066]

Haha sorry mate

originally wheels are ET45 so they would be ET25 front and ET20 Rear , as they are 20mm per corner on the front and 25mm per corner on the rear, slight scrubbing on the rear when fully loaded due to rim protector on the tyre

Cheers

[MikeFish]

Haha, no worries.

Not a bad guess at ET50, I was only 5mm out! I guessed they'd rub a bit, mine do and are nowhere near that far out.

What size tyres you got on those 10.5s?

[jacko1066]

not a bad guess mate

I cringe whenever i put foot down or hit a bump in the road when car is full haha , and im running 255 30 20 all round shame about having to use stretch but its mega close at the back as it is

That's fantastic news... sounds like I might get away with my 9" ET15 after all! I should have 9mm extra at the front and 14mm at the rear.
