I really like it, not sure I could live with it after the novelty had worn off though.
Is it a wrap or painted?

It’s painted, has full orange and black exclusive interior, double glazed windows, solar sunroof, fridge and ceramics. I’ve owned a few RS4’s so I know what I’d like to do to it.

If I had the cash now I'd already have it, believe me. That colour is epic!

It is a pretty unique car with a high spec. Colour is very marmite but I like it.

I would want to change the wheels to titanium, along with the mirrors and put the rear lights back to standard though but each to their own.

Ceramic brakes as well, it is a bargain!

Resale is not an issue if you don't sell it.....

Externally it’s epic, but the interior that might grate with me. Seats alone would be fine, but with the orange doors it’s a bit like being stuck inside a wasp!

I think I’d get some of the interior re-trimmed.. I’d also put it in a paint Shop to get it totally mint, rear pipes black and black rs4 badge, then off to MRC for a stage 2
Only trouble is selling my m2 it’s just such a awesome car.. but I have a baby on the way so need more space, plus I can cash money my way 👍

You will not see the brighter bits of the interior if they are covered in baby sick!

Full alcantara with orange stitching would be lovely.

Hahaha you've been talking about this one for years!
I still love it. Not sure I'd want it as my main car with a new baby though, at this age they spend a fair bit of time in garages being looked after or being fixed. If you have another car for a daily then I'd say go for it but if its just this and the van then I'd go for something a bit less needy.

Your right mike, it’s an itch I want to scratch..my plan is to get it looking amazing to push my machine polishing business further, I will be throwing some money at it so it will be a reliable motor I’m sure, I know all the gremlins on these, might even charge it at a later date :lol:

Well I’m looking at this on Saturday.. I’ve worked out I’ll need to put 4K into this to get it how I want it for now.
One thing I want to do in the summer is re-trim the seats
Black with the same pattern as the new rs6 seats with orange stitching. will do the mirrors black and the rear pipes black. :smile_smoking:

Just had a look at it on Autotrader.
I do like it but why can't people present a car for sale in a clean condition.
Especially bad as it is a trader. Mind you at least it hasn't been attacked with a can of back to black!
It looks like it will come up a treat though with a bit of time.
Would you leave the door cards orange?
Good luck with the viewing.
