The new paint looks fantastic and it so shinny....

Lovely car mate. Shame it was a Blue one that was used but stunning none the less. Definitely de-chrome the roof bars, window surround and front grill/badge then it'll be awesome.

I've toyed with spraying mine Ibis white for some time now...

I too have considered having mine resprayed in white, and keeping the black optics might look the bizz! But its a tough call as i also really love the current colour. I think a wrap might be on the cards to test the water. I just need someone to fund it.

How much was the paint job if you don't mind me asking?? Just about to pay £490 for a rear bumper and then a machine polish....Maybe I should follow suit I have the black optics..;)

Wow.. some nice comments thanks.

I never paid for the respray although that was reflexed in the price I did pay. The guys at ttsroadsport stripped the car out and rebuilt it so I'm not sure what the labour cost of that was but the respay was around £3500

how bright do you think the lights are in the daytime? I have seen a set of these (albeit a different design) and the brakelights in daylight were very poor, almost dangerous, as the LED's were not bright enough.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
cheers

To really unleash the beast, get a Viper map- absolutely awesome.............
Revo are not a bad generic map by anymeans.......just a bit optimistic on there power claims.

anyhoo, welcome the the world of RS6 and empty wallet syndrome........

I think the car looked/ looks amazing in both colours. I would prefer the noggy blue but think the wife would love the white.
I love the wheels too. What you done with them or did the old owner keep them?

I was right, the wife loves the white. She normally says the rs6 looks like an old mans car unless it's red. See the fight i'm up against, she either wants an s5 or s3.
