Looks like I'm going black...

Well now, this will keep the purists and supposed stealth car people happy... I removed the chrome RS badges I put on the wings, as well as the front and rear RS6 badges. I'll be fitting a smaller easily removable front plate and replacing the rings, as they're now the only chrome on the car with black ones. While I think black will look good on the Daytona Grey rear, I'm still not at all convinced for the grille. Black on black... What's the point? So as the rear will be black on grey, I may well make the front grey on black
Oh, and sorry to the purists and I guess the stealth people too, I moved the identity to the side and will doing a little more with graphics, especially for the Rico Rally we're doing in June. Please click the links in my sig to learn more about that and if you feel so inclined, maybe leave a little something.
Anyway, just thought I'd mention going black and have a shameless plug for my charitable exploits at the same time
In case anyone wonders why... I love it

I might use halfords for the odd tool or liquid but that would be about it. RS decals custom made

WTF is an RS6 730? Nope, not for me.

Watch you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings now
There was a thread not long ago about mudflaps, maybe that will make your
Stickers look better
Cheers

It's an RS6 with 730hp obviously
It also has over 1000nm torque for good measure.
Perhaps I should have called it an RS6 1000?

Truly pathetic (Literally. I suspect you'll need to look the meaning up).

I was making a genuine suggestion, thought it would make your supercar look even better.
Your sig says your car is debadged yet you have put RS6
Stickers on it, bit of a contradiction?
Cheers

The mudflaps make every RS6 look better!! (if you want to keep the mud off that is!)

I'm not a fan of the
Stickers but it's your car so do what you like to it. The rest of it looks good though.

Think I'll take the
Stickers over the mud flaps.

I'll change it to dechromed then, although I suspect the majority would know what it means

Not quite my point, if you take the badges off, why put
Stickers back on? Just reminds me of a Corsa with a debadged grill but a Vauxhall sunstrip.
As said above, it’s your car and do what you want, I’m just sharing my opinion.
Cheers

Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I think too. I can admire other peoples cars even if it's not something I would do myself. So long as the owner likes it that's all that matters and I really do like how mine's looking right now.

For me debadging is not about trying to hide what make or model it is, it's about making the boot lid clean and uncluttered.
