Took her to Folkestone last week for a client meeting so couldn't resist a picture at the harbour arm car park!

Front discs turned up today so they'll be getting put on soon and I'll take her for a proper drive!!ImageImageImage

Looks great! If you dont bind me asking how much was it to have the discs skimmed? I have been quoted £240 to have all four of mine skimmed and to have my new pads fitted

I was told it was a false economy to skim them, so got a new set at £550 plus £90 on pads and £60 Labour to put them on.

Still loving it! Image

Who's the biggest RS4 geek on here?!!
I want to find out how many Imola Avant B7's there are in UK/World.
Is there a database which would tell me?!
I'm just curious tbh

So I think my calipers are fooked ; (

Had a brand new pair of front discs put on early August, and it's juddering already.

I'd presume the best solution for this is new calipers - I'll get this confirmed however. If it is, where's the best place to get replacements and costs?! £$£$$£$£$

Maybe look to get them rebuilt instead. Places like Godspeed do them, fast turnaround and will be a lot cheaper than getting new calipers

Cheers @kent_andy. I'll have a look.

Would the issue potentially return after a while, as the garage owner, who's had a few RS4's said the calipers were prone to eating discs.

Someone else has also mentioned that I could attempt to re-bed them in, but I'm not sure if I'm too far in for that now?
