Yeah, sure, but please start a new thread in a discussion forum, say 'Audi S & RS Ownership'

i will be adding some comparison pictures from inside an Audi S4 show you that the billet gear knobs match well against an all black interior, apologise for the pictures they are from a camera phone as our digi cam has broken.

Definitely had good reports on there.....
Right had a chat with Liam to get the geeky details.... They are not the SAME as the e36 site but he makes those as well!!! So I would imagine the good reports will be the same too.

The titanium plating was confusing me as I didnt see any titanium colouring in the pics.... but now I understand!!

The BLACK coating is the titanium coating using a technique called PVD or something.... details in the link below.... but basically its a super hard coating thats also used on carbide tooling to expand the life....!!! apparently you cant even file it off!!!

So for Liams car the interior is half blue alcantara and aluminium trim so the stainless finish knob looks good, but I have all black leather with carbon trim so deffo the black plated one for me!!! just sorting out engraving .... :)
