Not mad keen on the splitter,i am having the bottom centre section carbon skimmed,i forgot about that lol.
I would also like a proper carbon grill but big money,maybe one day.

Also i am going to change the front lights to de tango.
I will also get the reg blanking plate and re drill the parking sensors,but certainly not rushing these bits.
I want it looking good for march the first big show of next season.

Thankyou everyone else for your feedback good and bad :thumbs:

well done for being different, most on here cry if you put the wrong tyres on your car. 20s look well suited in size to the RS but not a fan of air ride, ok it maybe better than the first air kits but not coilovers or ss+. it does look loads fatter lower though, but for me id ride it like the second pic maybe 10mm lower on the back though.

i have done a quick photoshop and this is how low i think im going.
imo this is perfect, your car however.

Thats pretty much bang on my ride height,the pic i showed was higher than usaul as i was in a field lol.

I would never say air was as good as coilys,its not possible ,but this set up is as good if not better than stock imo.

Also to run the ride height you would have to run a slight stretch or not have them spaced out to much but i think that would slightly
effect the look.

I love the the stretched tyre euro look but not to sure on rs i think the best stance i have seen is sonnys car it looks spot on, but each to there own, fair play for doing it. can the car be driven in the low postion?

I guess it was only a matter of time until these beauties get the vitriol treatment.
Sorry, but I love these cars to bits, so treating them that way makes me physically ill.
There should be a law to protect B7 RS4s.
It's only my opinion of course.
