All this time we've been trying to get more air onto our intercoolers ....
But hang on a minute! We've obviously been getting it all wrong!
This dude has known the secret all along - what you
actually want to do is completely block off the air flow to them ...
P.S. Hey Wombar - you're after a "Niagra" Blue one aren't you? Well here ya go ...

... it's even got an RS4 badge
Enjoy!

Haha, yep I saw these cars earlier on during the week. I rather like the silver front grill on the "Niagra Blue" one but what's the point of putting RS4 badges on it? Is there such a thing as Hyper Dump valves and why would you actually want them? When I eventually find my car, I'll be debadging it and possibly put some TDi badges on it for when I have to park in suspect areas. Plus it's always nice to have a sleeper car when a chavmobile pulls up next to you at the lights.
The oil gauge was the one of the first thing I noticed after I'd recovered from the trauma of that cream and blue interior. Another couple of potentially nice examples that have been mistreated. Inconsiderate is the word I'm looking for, I could have given them a much better home

To be fair he does say
There is a loose conection on the oil temp so it reads right sometimes and other days(like in photo) it doesn't.
Neither of the cars are to my taste, each to their own I guess.
Sort of an OEM+ "stealth rocket" is what I'm aiming for with mine

owwww it's from my neck of the woods judging by the service history, i seem to remember one when i was looking for mine that had that dire cream interior. i think it was from a dealer even further north than we are, Newcastle area perhaps

I think the poor deluded chap has mis-spelt ....... should read ---- "Viagra blue one"
He is obviously selling some poor attempt at a

extension .....

Hmmm...it's a difficult decision...do you go for the horrible wood/blue alcantara interior of car number 1, or the horrible cream leather/blue alcantara interior (including the fu*king dashboard) of car number 2...think I'm going to be sick...

That's what I'm *trying* to do. It's kinda hard to resist those new RS4 wheels though. So tasty.

The first things that struck me were that the antifreeze was sh!tty coloured in the yukky interior car and the other car appeared not to have any visible in the header tank.
Oh and neither seem to have the window trim fitted correctly (above the battery) and the rubber trim accross the front of the bonnet that dropped into my fan!!!! has been removed on the yukky interior car.... Oh and there is no room for golf clubs as a huge disco thing has been connected to the wireless in the blingy one.

Yeah yeah - the interiors are beyond ghastly and all that ..... but aren't you all missing the point? : dude number 1 HAS BLOCKED OFF THE AIR FLOW TO THE INTERCOOLERS!!!!!!
