Have you thought about stone protection film. Or stone protection spray. It really keeps your car looking good.

Looks great. Although Nardo is not as rare as it used to be, this is the only rs4 I've seen wearing it so still makes it special.

Just one thing though, is that rear bumper / boot lid strip polished silver? Surprised you didn't colour code it.

Not sure which part you're referring to, do you mean the strip that sits just below the boot on top of the bumper? If so that's painted panther black (same as roof, mirrors, diffuser, and front grill).

Next week is going to be exciting. Got a dyno run at AET Motorsport on Monday, Pandora alarm fitted Tuesday, then back in to Project Customs on Thursday so they can give it a once over and polish if necessary. Also getting the splitter fitted finally. I've tried and just can't do it on axel stands, just isn't enough room.

Ah, yes that's the bit I'm talking about. The sun caught it in the photo and it looked polished silver.

Looks forward to seeing the dyno results bud.

So just got back from AET. A somewhat disappointing result of 326 whp. Correcting for loss (using MRC figures of about 85 bhp) that puts me at roughly 411 engine bhp. Not a great result imo.

Is that with a standard engine? Does it have a map on it? When was the last time it was cleaned?

Cheers :thumbs:

Stage 2 map and manifold, carbon air intake, full exhaust with sports cats. Was carbon cleaned in June last year. Surely there can't be that much carbon build up in 6 months?

Sorry, just read your sig. that’s not too great considering what’s been done. I wouldn’t of thought so no, did you know what the figures were once it had its stage 2 map?

Looking at the run I did in August (quite soon after the clean) it was 388 at the flywheel (viewtopic.php?f=121&t=127839&start=135#p894105) however when I spoke to CM tuning about this result they said that RS tuning where I had the dyno done tend to read about 30bhp lower than what is correct. That does actually add up though, that would put me roughly at 418bhp which ties in with today's result, plus I had bad fuel in today (had no time to get VPower so had to get Esso 97).

That being said its still a low result.
