Instead of ovals as suggested by others have you considered C63 style quads. They are bigger, staggered, look mean and would finish off the rear. They'd also look good with that diffuser.
2014: 8V S3, Scirocco (mistake)
2013: B8 RS 5, 3.0T S5 coupe, B8 S5 cab - temp, B8 S4 avant
2011: 2.0T FL Octavia VRS
2010: 1.8T Octavia VRS

One thing I haven't mentioned - I can't stand drone... I am concerned just changing the tips alone would affect the acoustics somehow... Is this unwarranted concern?

Ah ha! I'm friends with K. He showed me this as I had a B8 last year. Very nice. I think I tried to get him to get you down to a meet. Glad to see you're on here now :)

Thanks, hope you're enjoying the v10!

I didn't get the previous message in time. Will be happy to drive the car down to a future meet!

Hello, I'm back.
New pics from 2014, one of my favourite angles of the B8.

Thought you'd sold it towards the end of last year, Kenny?

It was a disaster. Sale fell through after dragging on for a whole month, very unlucky turn of events.

I'll have to advertise again (at some point). It's hard letting the car go, I'm still impressed by the straight line speed and motorway mile munching ability - I drove over 300 miles at a reasonably brisk pace with about 40 miles to spare in the tank, probably can't do that in a V8? ;)

Hi DK,

I thought you have left the Audi camp? ;)

I'm not sure I'm selling just yet... but will follow Glass guide when the time comes.

:notworthy:

Absolutely love this widebody conversion!

Was sorely tempted to make an enquiry car when I was first looking for an S4 myself and it was only the lack of factory options that put me off. Great to hear that you're still enjoying the car despite the troubles with the sale though.
