New B7 RS4 Owner, South Coast

Post by bete noir » Sat Jul 27, 2013 10:46 pm

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 :D

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.

And I am jealous of your tints and gunmetal alloys (assuming your sig does not lie), although hopefully I should be getting mine sorted next month.

It is only a question of 'when' rather than 'if'. My last three road cars have all been black with grey or gunmetal wheels.
