Silicon hoses approx £300 if you need them.

I have these. They are nice - good and solid. Only thing is if you have Wagner intercoolers, ask him to make the lower hoses slightly longer, the Wagners need a very slightly longer hose.

Avoid the dayco kit. The belt is good (dayco is OEM), but the bearings and tensioners are made of plasticine.

Yeah, the alcantara interior was one of the reasons I got this one. It's a great car, but I want to get the Ultima going and that needs a lot of time spending on it (see other thread), plus a few changes in life mean it's best to let the RS go.

Decided it's time to sell my one - for sale on the forum, pistonheads etc.

Sadly selling my C5 RS6. I have owned it since October 2014. Spec is as follows: Black with Black Alcantara & Aluminium Trim Stage 1 Tune Powdercoated Rocker Covers Red Silicone Intercooler hoses & Carbon intake ducts Custom coolant pipe - so you don't need to remove the engine to get the OS rocker ...

Thank you both. Yes, that's what I've done - and I was planning hot glue too, so good to know it was successful for you.

@Chris - when you did this, did you remove the front plastic surround for the lights - or did you leave that in situ (and the alcantara attached around it) and just work around it all?

To get OE pipes, Steve's approach is decent. However, I've made loads and loads of custom pipes for many vehicles & engines - if you are DIY minded, you could certainly make your own up, or I'd have no issue using the rscarparts.de part.

Refurb? You can just replace the joints on both ends - really easy job once they're off - and they're mechanically "as new" then. Honestly a really easy job, especially if you have a 4lb lump hammer.

Spam!

Tyres that outlast the car. Winner.

But being rock hard, at least they'll never wear out.

I can see a starline one on ECP - which I am sure would be fine too.

Sorting out a few things on the RS at the moment, one of which is the rear wiper motor leaks washer fluid. All over the inside of the wiring at the rear, which has caused the boot lid microswitch to fail. Fortunately had a spare latch "in stock", so that bit was easy. Anyway, the rear washer leaking...
