Power looks on a par with a "stage 1", having all the cats still in & stock, I reckon?
As mentioned above the car has no cats.

Welcome

Looks a mean one with all the blackness, GRRRRR!!! :FIREdevil:

How do you find the 15mm spacers, any catching over dips and bumps etc?

Thank you Image

No catching and the car is very low, I may lift it slightly.

Can anybody give me rough dimensions of the badge locations on the front grill and boot? I want to put the rs6 badges back on.
Thanks

I can get a measure over the next couple of days if nobody has any to hand

I’m afraid I don’t but from passed experience I would recommend H&R.

Nice one. One of the nuts is missing on the front badge so need to figure out how to fix that Image

There’s a clip that goes on the other side of the badge. I need one too. NLA obvs. :-/

If we can get some decent positioning data I’ll put it on the FAQ. Front badge is easy enough from press photos. Rear a bit more tricky.

Yeah rear is going to be a pain.

This is my front badge, looks like the clip has been ground off

Just been out on a run to the shops and had the PRNDS on the dash and no gears. Then on the way home it was back to normal again. Is this one of the sensors on the gearbox playing up?

Could be the F125 switch. Best attended to quickly as it can cause extra wear on expensive things when they go wrong.

I’ll get one ordered up, I’m guessing it’s the controller for changing gears?
