New B7 RS4 Owner, South Coast
Hello all.
I've been driving VAG for a while now, apart from a Jap excursion when I owned an Evo 8. When I got a promotion recently it came with a car allowance, so I sold my mk1 Leon Cupra R and started the hunt for a B7 RS4. After a couple of months of searching I found an 07 Saloon in Phantom Black, with black optic pack, SS+ suspension, and just 36k on the clock. I bought it about a month ago and I am loving it.
My plans for it are (somewhat unoriginally I know) gunmetal wheels, black mirrors and badges, and rear tints. I will probably get the wheels refurbed in the next month or so, unless I can find someone who wants to swap their gunmetal wheels for my silver ones (long shot, I know).

FON and welcome again from Ipswich 
Sounds like you already have some initial plans for the old girl. Make sure you get some before and after shots if you can buddy.

Thanks for the welcome. I will post some pictures up when I have something other than 'before' shots to show.

Re: New B7 RS4 Owner, South Coast
It is only a question of 'when' rather than 'if'. My last three road cars have all been black with grey or gunmetal wheels.
