Only time will tell but hopefully it will be something not many if any other black RS4 owners have on theirs.

Nice car mate! I wish mine was that clean!

Your signature says black optics but the car in the photos doesn't have the black optics?

The pics are over 18 months old now although she is still in the same condition as you will see when I post the new pics with the wheels. I only found the site recently and since buying it I have done the black optics pack and tinted down the windows. I can post some current pics but wanted to do it after I have received and fitted the new wheels. If you guys want I can take some current pics this morning and post them here.

How did you do the window surrounds? Did you go the proper route and replace the actual surrounds or wrap / spray the original ones?

All the trim was replaced with the black optics pack kit after I chatted with the guys I bought the car from as they do this for quite a few cars and found that resprays tend to deteriorate and chip over time and wrap can be awkward to fit.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge? The labour charge at Audi is ridiculous,

I live in one of the flats where you took those pictures. Mine is currently SORN at the minute as I have been away for a few weeks. Maybe we should all get together some time?

Sounds like a plan, I could ask my friend who took the pics to come down and we could get some shots of any Ipswich owners. Having them all in a line there would be great. How many RS4 owners have we got in the Ipswich area that you know of?

I know daytonamart is local from this thread.

Sorry for the late reply Mike

Okay parts came to £720 and labour took it to a final figure of £950.

I have attached a pic from work today of what she looks like now
