Opinions please guys ???

Post by boba fett » Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:41 pm

I am loving the RS4 and I am just wondering what you think of the next mod.

I am thinking of getting all the Brushed alloy trim, grill and mirrors done in the same color as the wheels (Graphite Grey) or do I just get the wheels done silver...??

What do you think guys, opinions are greatly appreciated.

I originally had all brushed alu trim but was never really keen on it so I changed (at quite some expense!) to black optics. Personally I would do the mirrors & grille the same colour as the alloys, the rest I'm not to sure would look OK done the same colour as the alloys. Just my opinion obviously.

I wrapped all the trim/grill black, and held up great for over 3 years now. And love how quickly I can undo if I want to try a different look.

I personally would not change the trim color. They are a nice contrast to the dark blue.

I would instead of painting the rims replace them with 20" rotors if you feel the need to change
something because I think it looks great now too.

^^^^This!!!

I think the silver trim works well on the Mugello. Get your alloys done in silver or as Rob suggested or go for some new 20's.

Leave the trim, go darker on the alloys or change them for rotors but more importantly (IMO) do something with the splitter because it looks dull.

car is a minter btw :bigblink:

Don't go for 20" rotors unless you plan on lowering it, they look pants with normal ride height.

WOW - I can't even believe 20 inch rotors have been mentioned, I had these on a an S5, i'm not a fan, they look cheap, and its a well copied alloy that now graces most humdrum Audi's these days !!

Good a few years back but "wrong turn" now !!

In short, I think rotors look rubbish now on any Audi, its just my opinion though :thumbs:

Hi Boba here's mine, I know its got a roof and 20's but it gives you an idea of the look i.e. Mugello Blue with silver alloys.
