B8 S4 Avant - Sportfdiff, ADS, sprint blue...

Post by coullstar » Tue May 12, 2015 1:52 pm

Okay might regret this but weve decided to get a VW T5 transporter kombi as a family car so this is going to fund that.

Its a 2009 model. Currently 44500miles on the clock but this will rise by about 150m a week as its my daily.
FSH, next is due in 2200miles.

Its Sprint blue which is an S/RS colour only so helps distinguish it from all the s-lines going about.
I had the roof bars and window trim wrapped in satin black, the door mirrors are painted with rubberized paint so it will peel off if not liked as is the grill surround. Grill is an RS4 mesh style from xenonsUK.

I also replaced the steering wheel to match the seats with alcantara + perforated leather and it was made thicker at the same time with double red and white stiching to match the wheel badge.

Car has the all important Sportdiff and having had 3 series BMW's in the past it drives very akin to something like that. ADS is fitted so you have the 3 modes, again I really rate this when the need arises but Auto is good 90% of the time.

I have two sets of wheels with the car, originals were refurbed prior to getting the car and have my winter tyres fitted. The summer wheels are from an A5 and are 8.5x18 et29 so fill the arches better, all with good Pirelli tyres. These have some slight kerbing on them but fine for a daily car.

Car has standard seats which are heated and perfect for a daily car. Rear integrated window blinds are fitted which have been very useful for the kids in the back.

Overall in good condition with some small wear and tear expected of car age. I'll try get some better overall photos of the car but in the mean time the photos below are some before and afters to show with chrome and black trim.

Front brakes were replaced before I got the car and I have new rear discs sitting ready to fit.

MOT Nov15

Price - £18,650ovno

Based in Aberdeen and can collect from airport (which has many UK flights) or train station.


When I got it.

Sorry wheel was an exchange item. Yeah its been brilliant in the relatively short time Ive had it.

The price is very competitive from what I can see from other on sale.

Very lean price. I expect that will move quickly.

Was going to post re roof bars, and ask if anyone had them for a B8 Avant, and lo and behold I see you have them! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them from, how much, would you recommend them, etc? Thanks.

ps. a free bump for you!

Ebay advert link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171798690202? ... 1555.l2649

Any interest in this? I have updated the ebay add with some recent photos. Unfortunately a very small dent has appeared in the driver rear arch and the driver rear door has a very small ripple (which will come out with PDR). Ive lowered the price to £18,150 to reflect this.
I now have a new set of spark plugs to fit to the car.

As above open to swaps with a Golf Gti or similar. Note the mirrors are now back to alloy finish and it does look better with them.
