Looks Mint, not usually a fan of aftermarket rear lights but yours really suit well :thumbs: , think its the fact you cant see the black outline against the body colour.

Albert Einstein said yellow was the fastest colour :biggrin3:

and although they recently tried to prove him wrong, ie, relativity and speed of light (CERN neutrino speed measurments) they forgot one thing...relativity, the thing they were trying to disprove!
when the measurements are adjusted for the relative speeds of the earth positions and the satellite positions, the 60 nano-sec difference is adjusted by 64 nano-sec, making the speed less than the c (speed of light)

sigh....

Pick the car up after service, only to discover nothing has been done regarding the bumper, such a simple instruction, explained and illustrated the issue using another RS4 parked in the car park, plus photos on my phone, service guy completely agreed with me and said it would be sorted...

yet it wasn't, Service Manager involved... now need to book it in again... do Audi Dealerships not understand that booking into a dealership is an inconvenience?

it's a matter of perspective
it's not an inconvenience for them, it's normal business, they get paid by you or Audi (if warranty)

it is inconvenient for you, but that appears lost on them
