Michelle's Imola RS4 Cab

Post by Jules » Fri Jun 23, 2017 11:36 am

Right the Misses has a very cool b5 widebody s4 in panther black.
We have a few cars between us and go to many shows all over Europe.
I really enjoyed owning another b7 rs4, and have now owned the charged saloon and the recent black avant.

Soooo I'm like we need to get you a b7 rs4 cab so then we have sampled all 3 :roll:

But it has to be Imola, so after searching we found the perfect one, very tidy, 2008, 68k miles and the clincher for me was it
had ceramics.

We have just fitted my OZ 20x10 super turismos as a start and this weekend I'm taking it to fourie fabrications to get it
lowered with the Kw kit you use with the drc.
Of course I will remove the helper springs on the rear to get it as low as possible, then over winter we will really go to town on it.

Sorry I'm useless so pics to follow :lol:

Probably the only one in the world with this spec. Not sure I've seen an bagged cab so this should be interesting.

Yeah good point can't recall a bagged cab rs4. Must have been done before surely!

And I hadn't spotted the ceramics, nice!

Yes exactly that point, ive looked and looked and never spotted a bagged one so even more reason to do it lol
I'd also assume the only imola cab with ramics too as there cant be too many in this colour.

It has the fbsw but no buckets they also seem much rarer on the cab for some reason but sure that can be sorted soon enough.
Its just a shame as this has memory seats and everything electric inc the headrests id not seen before.

I just wish I was better with computers and posting up pics as it takes me forever :roll:

Brilliant thanks Mike

As you can see it now needs lowering badly so will fit the kw short term and also go black optics

I wondered where this cab went, I was eyeing it up for the ceramics. Looked pretty sorted on paper. Did you knock them down any? It was on for £17900ish wasn't it?

Congrats on B7 #3.

Black optics is different, not sure about it on the Cab to be honest. See here: https://www.autogespot.com/audi-rs4-cab ... 2013/03/28

I'm sure you already know this being a serial mod'er. But the Cabriolet buckets are quite rare to find, as they have a folding seat back mechanism. So normal Saloon and Avant ones will not work, as intended on the Cab.

Have you thought about ADV.1 manufactured RSQ.1 wheels before, I think there OEM'ish and would look sweet on the Cab. Those multi spokes are too fiddly for the B7 IMHO.

Yours looks stunning we were watching both but the ceramics and a few less miles did it, if I hadn't
sorted the deal I was going to come and view yours as quite local to me.
