Congrats, it's a lovely colour Panther Black and very nearly tempted me back into a black car, despite saying never again. Fontain are certainly selling a few B8 RS4's.
I actually bought this from Fontain.

Lovely, I doubt very much that you will have any regrets. Mine came without folding mirrors - which pee'd me off. There are a number of places that will retrofit, depending on where you are based. I had mine done by Ash near Uxbridge. You'll be waving goodbye to £750 mind. You will also get the tilt in reverse. Tbh, unless your car has memory seats, you will probably only use it very occasionally, as it is hit or miss as to whether it returns to exactly where you had left it. Having said that, I should have used it at the weekend as I suffered a sneak attack from a kerb. Thank heavens for the AlloyGators. Anyway, enjoy the car.
Yeah, done a bit of research, it is a lot just for folding mirrors, could probably do without to be honest.
Will just enjoy it for a bit anyhow.

I would get the canyon bar though - 150 and really improves the steering using factory mounts and hardly visible.

Do they really make that much difference?

I think so, am in SE9 if you want to try mine. Suddenly the car has some steering feel.
