Bonjour from sunny(ish) France!

Hi to all
I'm not exactly new to the site, been lurking in the background doing my research and scouring the classifieds!
And it all worked out well!
I bought my S4 about a month ago driven it back to France and now to the Czech Republic for the birth of my son!
I'm a very happy man, she's been almost faultless!!
Couple of pictures-


The last 2 owners are forum members, I'd recommend buying from here to anyone!

Looks awesome - congrats. What is the paint finish?

[Jonesy07]

Sure I have seen the wrapping pictures on here of this car in progress ?

great looking motor.

[Timster]

Your car looks the b*llox in that finish.

Well done

[PJC]

Very nice, like the wheels too

Looks great. Welcome to RS246

[PhilT]

That does look good. I've been thinking of getting the B5 wrapped and add a couple of large(ish) RS246 logos...

[wardy124]

Thanks all!
I'm really happy with her!
No doubt I'll be hassling you all for information at some point so thanks in advance!!
Yep, it's a wrap, the car's Misano red underneath, There's a few stonechips showing through red but I'm going to keep it on until it get's too tatty, then back to my other favourite colour!

Glad you got back to France / Czech ok mate!! Still gutted I sold the car to be honest!! I love my mercedes but still not the same!! Test drove an RS4 (07 plate) last weekend and to be honest not a lot of difference for 14k extra over an S4!!!)

Were you pootling around the shops ?

..and will protect your paint work from apex markers.

Lol. Good point Sonny

Cheers Chris!
Yep ,the drive was a real good way to get to know the car!! The only fault is the RNS-E's laser is shot at the mo, but my tomtom's just as good I reckon!
Had a bit of a nightmare when I put the new disks on... wound the piston back in, put on the new disks and pads and the caliper was rubbing the wheel!!! did a quick machine job at work and cleared them with a 1.5mm spacer but now the wheels touch the arch on every big bump!! I'll have a play when I'm back from here to find a happy medium!
The roads here in Czech are stupidly bad so I'm maybe thinking of putting the original springs back on or coilovers until the family is back in France.
Little Micky Pete Ward turned up last Sunday, he seems happy with the car, sure way to get him asleep! but <beep>, how much stuff do you need to carry around with a baby?!
