I've now had 3M VentureShield fitted to the front of the car, including a full bonnet wrap.

It's noticeable only really though the slight lack of gloss compared to the rest of the paintwork, but I'm told you can wax it a few times and restore some gloss so I'll set to work doing that over the weekend I'm sure.

Also visited JCWeldFab yesterday, and contemplating an exhaust from them. If I do, obviously I'll have a full Audi Sports Exhaust system potentially for sale. We'll see!

Changed over my start/stop switch just to be a bit different - wrote a simple guide on the process here: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=116035

That's all for now. :)

Very cool - If I didn;t have kids; I love the interior - how clean does that look?; what has happened to the steering wheel though?

That steering wheel! Ouch! Looks great though and do like the interior but I'd wager keeping it clean will be a mission.

Wife's car has cream leather and it's always in need of a clean.

Can't wait to get mine back!

The Steering wheel is one for the geeks - I can't find it anywhere in the brochure; maybe it's heated?

Honestly, i think 60k on a 4 is madness at this point. Each to their own though ofc

Round wheel was a no-cost configuration option for folks who don't like the flat one.

Chuckle - 2012 cars have a much lower spec than the 2015 cars see kmpowells post on spec

And it is the natural progression of sales...


Mate I want a cheap RS4 vs. mate I want one of the best and last v8 s4's :-)

Well mate, my point is that at sub 50k, the B8 RS4 still makes sense - above that and they have a long way to fall in a short period.

Anyway, it's an opinion, not an instruction :-)

Anyway, enough of this, it's distracting me from looking at this:

Chuckle; probably right buddy if you can pick up a 14 plate motor at that level its a bargain, probably a bit defensive as mines a 15 plate at 60k ish; however do you know what? Its only money and i'm loving piling the miles on mine
