Well pleased with the result, it's only subtle,I have the rs4 badge for the front,but it's smaller than the original, not sure I'm going to fit it, I think the car looks a little meaner now :smile_smoking:

I like it. I also like the drive and gates in the second pic. That's exactly what I'm looking for in my next house.

Anyway, nice mods.

I've just bought their old gates, neighbours said they weren't in keeping, only difference being is that they are solid, snobby neighbours one being max Clifford :boohoo:

They're covers iirc? And following on from that, it appears that they cover the inside of the mirrors housing, are they a PITA to fit?
It's all torque talk.
