They now do the giant plastic bit at the front too. One of the guys on the RS5 section has that one fitted.

Did you short on the FTSE on Friday to buy it? The price is eye watering...

As far as I know no one has one on this forum yet including the Rs5 section ! It's a skinned version I'm sure though I may stand corrected ! Thought about this myself if the gains can be substantiated but it's unlikely !

The M3's have been getting decent results.

Anything that's carbon fibre is going to expensive if its of high quality as these are.

Quite. Can buy an entire Megane 225 for that. And have a lot more fun with it than occasional "ohhhh"'s from people at car meets :biggrin3:

And is a good bit of logic. I'd rather have more engines to rag.

Getting one fitted to the rs4 before AITP they are doing a before and after dyno, so will be good to see what the results are plus it's the first intake for the rs4 that looks good as well as produces some good gains

Not worth the hassle, or the money the gains will be so minimal you will never notice
