The ones I got from Audi Retrofits https://audi-retrofits.co.uk/ fitted my RS6 very well once I figured out how to dismantle the mirrors. No gaps at all on reassembly.
Thanks for the heads up Dave, I've ordered a set for my RS7 PE from Audi Retrofits :thumbs:

CheeRS,
Looks like they fit OK then Rob. Couldn't see any gaps like I had.
Had the Dynamic Mirror indicators fitted today Mike, with help from my Audi Independent.
The hardest part was getting the Mirror out without breaking it. The Dynamic Mirror modules are a tight fit just like the OE modules.
You can see them in operation at: https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEASKynkt5 ... uq9v5im4cf
They are a perfect fit as shown below -

Thanks, I saw the video on Instagram. That's how I knew you fitted them.

I'm glad it seems Audi Retrofits quality seems to be consistent. Ash there is a very knowledgeable chap when it comes to retrofitting parts and I've found him to be very friendly and helpful.

Read on another thread that you are planning on selling up. Such a shame that folk can’t have anything nice without the risk of some scum bag bastard thinking he can have it.

I have been looking at wheels, thinking about a set but might just be a thought. Stumbled across TSW Bathursts and just realised that’s what you have. I have just had a flick through the thread to have a look and seen this

They look fantastic, the concave is sexy! I’m just curious if you know how they would fit on a B7? What are the offsets?

Cheers :thumbs:

Those look like C7 RS6 20" options. They have been a few that have fit those to a B7. They look great.

Aye you’re right, they are the 20” standard wheel. I just came across them when I was looking at the tsw bathursts Mike has too.

Do you know if they need spacers on the B7 to look good or will the offset push them out enough?

I’m going to hazard a guess that they might be a bit rich for my blood but give me a shout when you’re about to sell them.

Cheer :thumbs:

As my car has long gone now I should probably post some of the last set of photos as it looked at the end.
It was sold with the Bathurst wheels and still lowered with spacers & front lip spoiler still fitted. The rear wiper was re-instated.
And the front and rear RS6 badges were removed.
So long my friend...

What specs were the Bathurst ? ET41? I’m looking at some and want to make sure I’m getting the same level of concave!
