To all prospective buyers, I would say a warranty is compulsary. You can prevent a frosty reception on forums by not falling into the f..kwit category of people who buy a £13k RS6 and then complain they cost too much to run, before selling for pittance and bringing the value of this stunning car down even further so more f..kwits can blow their savings on the same stupidity.

If you've done your research and are prepared for an average of £1k for EACH visit to the workshop then a very warm welcome awaits.

Has Billymapped posted any pics of his lush white avant with the Anthracite wheels on? Having said that, I think he still has a few shiny ALU bits on there. Still, I want to see it... someone give him a nudge.

Billy's car below.

BTW not a wrap, full layup.

Sprint blue for me! I found a post on here a while back, someone put the effort into a group buy at TD, I think they got it down to 900ish notes each for 10 cars... I think.

I was gonna say something about hijacking this thread but that whitey is outstanding!

What the hell is a 'wrap' anyway. Google went on about Coca-Cola...or something

I think that 900 notes was for a matt wrap and that's so 2008.
