Absolutely amazing. One of the best-looking RS4s I've ever seen. :twisted:

Thanks for all the favourable comments guys. I'll be putting my personalised plate on it next week and thats probably the only change I'll make to it.

P_G I don't know to be honest, I just copied the original advert for the car onto here but haven't really had time to 'explore' everything on the car yet. I'll look into it though.

Seriously great looking car, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I reckon my seats would look good in it

well done mate you got a great car i love it in white looks the nuts could you take some pics of the steering wheel, gear nob and handbrake mine has got alcantara steering wheel and gear nob but leather handbrake i think someone might of changed the handbrake, the steering wheel feels great in your hand but it a nightmare to keep looking good

Thanks Klauster. Seeing your car on the forum a while ago helped to convince me that I simply had to get White one. :) However, though the wrap looks amazing, and with no disrespect or otherwise intended, I really wanted to find a 'real' painted original one.
I would imagine your 'serious number' of white cars will virtually all be wraps. In my relatively short time looking for an RS (5months) I only came across 3 saloons (all dodgy!) and my own Avant in white paint.

the real colour is better obviously... but white isn't everyones cuppa tea... it can affect resale.... still i can't bring myself to remove the wrap... unless i change the colour to something else :)

Hi Wellzie, thanks for the comments and the cleaning tips for the steering wheel. It has a great tactile feeling to it. My handbrake lever is the same as yours also. My steering wheel is still pretty much as new but I could imagine it would get a bit 'tired' with age etc. It does look exactly the same as mine though;

Get it wrapped in Imperial or Merlin (deep metallic) purple with a carbon roof, that'll look the muts nuts.

Thanks for taking time to take the pics, so your handbrake is perforated leather like mine, it doesn't make sense it says in the brochure that the steering wheel gear knob and handbrake is alcantara (well it actually says suede) i wonder why this is i thought my handbrake lever had been changed at some point
