Re: I shouldn't be left alone with a Mac and a credit card..

They are based in Long Marston, Nr Tring in Herts DSM - really know their stuff and has made a huge difference to the state of the paintwork that the dealer was happy to present to me! Wouldn't touch any dealers AutoGlym Life Shine (damn good product but put on by incompetent, useless, vile, oxygen ...

Re: Track day

I attended a track day with my car at Bedford Autodrome today. It was a lot of fun, despite the fact that the RS4 clearly isn't the ideal track car. Understeer was very much the order of the day, but I still had a blast sliding the car around :) RS4TD (4 of 4).jpg RS4TD (5 of 5).jpg Looks good Andy...

Re: Replacing front silver air splitter?

Ouch! Ouch indeed! :o I had visions of a crack, not a full on break. A plasticweld in a bodyshop seems your best bet. :( Yep, I think that is the only route unless I replace the whole bumper - something that just seems to be unnecessary. I'll keep this thread updated - the emails have gone out to l...

Re: Replacing front silver air splitter?

Not sure what you think you are replacing as its just a painted section of the bumper. This. The bumper/splitter is a single piece and simply painted 'Matt Alu' when the option is specced. Here's how the bumper is made up... 750807100.png God knows what your dealer thinks they've ordered for you! :...

Re: Replacing front silver air splitter?

All, thanks for the replies,

I will let you know if Amersham Audi have got this correct when I pick the part up later today. Like you I am slightly apprehensive that this is not just a bolt and washer (no nut obviously) for £37 - await next message and we will see what transpires.

Replacing front silver air splitter?

OK, first proper post so be nice...!

After just a few weeks some beep beep beep beep w*nker ( :rant: ) has managed to crack my front air splitter. I have ordered a new one from Audi (only £37?!) but wanted to know if anyone has replaced theirs and what advice they can give?

You are right RIV - but the effort they have put in certainly makes washing it damn easier!!

Cheers RIV :thumbs:

I had it detailed by Xtreme Detailing (Bucks / Herts) with Gtechnic Crystal Serum Black and it has has transformed the paintwork - well after they spent 15 ours removing the swirls put in by the dealer!

Re: I shouldn't be left alone with a Mac and a credit card..

Thanks for the FON Tile Diver!

Yes I am!! It is my first Audi and I it really is stunning. I was fortunate enough to have the choice of a Maserati GranSport, another 911, another Merc AMG or this.

I chose well!!

Thanks for the FON!

Well it was all going rather well and I was happily using my 911 as my everyday car - well Mon to Fri and then the Home Counties 4 x 4 was used with the children and I thought well I might as well go and test drive the RS4 - It won't be any good but heyho nothing much on today.... 48 hours later the...
