2007 RS4

Post by RS4MAT » Thu Aug 31, 2017 9:24 pm

Hi,

A quick question on behalf of a mate who's looking at buying a 2007 (57) RS4.

Should it have fully clear headlights?. I was under the impression the amber to clear indicator change over was 2006?.

Cheers

You are right, they were fitted with either.

2007 should be clear corners iirc, unless they were swapped

I have a 2006 with clear from factory. I don't think it is as clear cut as that.

This is what they look like from the factory in June 2007. I know that for a fact because that's when I got it new.

Take them out and replace them, easy enough job. Like I said, there is a cross over where they seemed to get either or.

Think he is wondering if it has had a non recorded front end smash.

Ah ok. Do they still have the clear lense or has someone as the yanks say, done the joey mod? When I pulled mine apart for the first time I found this had been done on mine.

I'm alright with them if they can be either I just didn't want to be paying top money for a car that either had had bits swapped or damaged or not how it should be.
