Was hoping I never had to see another picture of her!!

Yeah, I'd have loved to have kept it but don't have the room. Absolutely amazing car, should have kept the other alloys on though Donal :wink:

I am not a lover of red cars. Had loads of them and the paint has always faded.
However I love the red one above.
Nice purchase Donal.
Keep wiping the tears away Dunc !

Looks amazing, i like it on both wheels, be good to have them to swap around

Chunky, whats the deal with the headlights, are they aftermarket or did you joey mod them? Makes an impact from the front view

They were fully stripped and rebuilt by Trupps. Mega spec bulbs, dual xenon, pretty sure the only C5 RS6 in the world with dual xenon lights.

ASR-Invoice-2021-08.jpg
Eventually got my car back from Audi Specialist Repairs in Lurgan & I'm very happy! Total bill ended up being about 1/3rd of what I was expecting as the engine didn't have to come out to replace the steering rack, nothing wrong with rack in the end, bushes on a control arm sorted out the main reason for it being in. Lots of other annoyances corrected and my car no longer lights up like a christmas tree :)

Paul Teggart (the owner of ASR) was helpful & informative throughout the whole process - can't fault him or his crew, I'll be back.

Good result.
Did they solve the brake warning on start up? Mine does this if I apply the brake pedal too early after starting. Wait 5 seconds or so after firing up and no issues :?

Yeah, just low on fluid I think, embarrassed I hadn’t actually checked that myself.
