Looks like Merlin purple to me.
Had an S4 cab in 2005 in that colour.

Full check of the history needed. This forum has a catalogue of issues that could be present, so you are aware of the extremes... Check for cheap mods - thats all they are. The car spec was awesome as it came out of the factory! Big ticket items: DRC suspension can fail. Oil cooler/pipes. Aux rad. L...

Thoughts: When you parked up before the 2 days standing, was the car hot and it raining then? Hot discs / extra oxidisation. Although does not explain it happening every day. Did the rain leave residue on the car? Some sort of contaminate in the atmosphere.. Have you 'stressed' the brakes since - ma...

Great feedback and awesome looking car, inspires to get into an R8 one day, but sticking with the RS6 for now.

Any chance the kit is still available?

Looking good - congrats on your acquisition.

Checking the (possibly) obvious - the drive select settings for dynamic makes the stock setup 'harder', H&R may not be effected...?

Not yet!

Sorry for reviving this old thread. But, I was looking for some loopholes to minimize my taxes. I've heard that sometimes taxes you pay or your car also depend on your income. Do you know anything about that?

This relates to running a company car. Not Road fund license.

Yes. Without question. Who told him that there were no issues? An R8 Master tec on commission??! I looked at R8's before going for the RS6, but a deciding factor was how well documented most issues are for the 6 so you know what might be coming. Fear, uncertainty and doubt about how an R8 might sh*t...

That era of Aston did 2 things really well: Look awesome. Sound Awesome (inside and out). As a driving experience it was OK, a real head turner. Mine was the 4.3 litre V8 (380BHP) rather than the later 4.7 which was a little more powerful and more refined. BUT - servicing cost was huge, but I had AM...

The RS5 used the same DRC system as the RS4 B8, less problematic than the B7, but still prone to be expensive to fix in the event of failing. Not many reported issues around the 5 on this forum, but worth considering. My RS5 had an issued with warped rear disc, which dealer sorted. Could not find an...

Welcome. An old tradition; FON...

My (non carbon) front discs will be in need to replacement this summer, so researching for any experience of alternative brands that may be better than OEM? APEC read well, but seem a bit too good to be true for the price. Fully appreciate OEM is there for a reason, however tech has moved on with 'c...

I tried to fit a Ghost to my 2017 C7 PE and the fitter could not do it due to the pre-17 cars having different wiring.

Anyone know of a suitable alternative?
