calipers are exactly the same - they are rs4 discs but still have the anti-rust paint on them.

lights are sprayed 4 times over the reverse lights then 2 coats all over, then lacqured.

front lights have been polished to get the sand blast look off them

It has the H&R pcs kit off your car on it now - i wonder if it was too harsh before because the adjusters were set to full hard! Should be similarish spec to yours when finished

Out of curiosity is the reverse light now red?!

Also what was the price difference between the RS6 calipers and Lambo items?

Actually a do like racing green RS4 !! They look a little bit weird stock, but lowered, nice wheels on, etc....they do look nice . :wink: I am sure you will do a good job on this one Doug.

You will scare a lot of people on the Nurburgring , drivers will never see you taking over through the green forest !!! They will only hear your loooooooooooooooooooooooud exhaust passing through!!! :nodder:

Ha-ha, good point Steph, it'll be like The Predator.

@ Doug (or anyone else for that matter), thinking about the Milltek non-cat DP's, apart from MOT issues, is there anything else that I should know, like will the map need tweaking, or will there be any problems with the EGT's?

What is the rough difference in power between 100 cell DP's and non-cat DP's?

TIA :)
Mike

To be honest with you , you do not feel much the difference between 100 cells and straight through ( you can not feel 10/15 hp when you already got around 435/440 bhp...) BUT at the top end Yes you do feel the difference big time , i did need to have my remap modified a little bit for the top end (running a little bit too rich), and the rear Lambdas need to be disconnected from the top sockets. It does sound really good as well :wink:
100 cells cats are really good and you don't have the mot trouble :?
