Don't let the dogs in. Only joking ;-)
Looks like youve got a nice one there
Comfort seats are awesome, every time I get in mine, it's such a nice feeling :-)
I am scared to but the reason I bought it was to use it. Luckily they are both well behaved and short haired so should be relatively easy to hoover up after them. Will put some photos up of them in it. Thanks, I took it out for a blast tonight, such a lovely thing to drive either easy or hard. Realised that my headlights go with the steering, not sure if that’s standard or an option. Yea I’m really happy with them, just a shame they don’t have memory.

Cheers :thumbs:

All RS4s have self levelling lights as it's a requirement for xenon headlights but the adaptive lights that turn with the car were an option. You'll notice when parked behind something and start the car at night that the lights will do a little up and down then left and right check.

Yea I thought they would self level as I noticed them moving about when I started it up but then realised they move with the steering. They are fairly responsive and instant to movement too, pretty good I thought.

Gorgeous car.

I’m off to check out that boot mat now, as one of the reasons I got the Avant over a Porker was our lurcher :D

Thanks, I can’t stop looking at it :sekret: I would highly recommend it. Like I said, the full boot liners look great but once they start moving about and Velcro gets tired they are just annoying. It’s a bit like a seat cover, the only person who gets the benefit of the protected seats is the next owner. It’s a perfect fit and got a really grippy base so sticks to the boot carpet. It’s on eBay but I bought it direct, it worked out cheaper, only a few pound but better in my pocket.

Cheers :thumbs:

Hi folks,

My Trups interior led kit turned up on Friday and got a chance to fit them today.

Brings the car into this century and looks clean and fresh. Got a dead reversing sensor so will be replacing that next, found some on eBay that come painted in your colour so going to give them a shot. I’m assuming it’s a bumper off job so will need to look at a guide. Still looking at black RS4 badges and not sure if an eBay one will be okay or if there are better quality ones out there.

Cheers :thumbs:

Hi folks,

I gave my RS4 the first wash in my ownership, I was a bit nervous as it came from a detailer and the paintwork is amazing. Washing cars isn’t my favourite thing to do and I wouldn’t say I’m very good at it. It was the first time I used snow foam and what a difference it makes having the right products that do the hard work for you.

Nice work, I'd be more worried about that front spoiler than messing up the paint :thumb:

I quite like it, might change it in the future but I’m happy with it just now.
