Only the RS4 has Aluminium panels the S4 does not.

Sorry mate got you mixed up thought you had the red S4. My bad.

Only thing I can think of is, the Cab did not have Ali parts?

I would hate to think they used norm A4 parts as they are different size, and wont fit flush to the front bumper.

If it is true that the Cab does not have Alu body parts then that's wrong advertisement surly, thats crazy.

Just checked on my saloon and magnet definitely NOT attracted to either bonnet or wings. It does stick to the other body parts. Wonder if the cab has steel? That'd be strange!
