Was going to give the motor a polish today but the autoglym was sizzling off the paintwork !! in SCOTLAND !!

Managed to give the wheels & calipers a clean & polish though , albeit with a few cut fingers.

Hope pics work ok 1st time I have posted up photos on here

Please actually keep hold of this car and take proper care of her regardless of the cost, unlike the previous oddball owner! :)

Not that I haven't seen this car a number of times before on here but she looks nice enough. However, my only comments are that the old man wood is not a good look imo and the RNS-D looks dated but you may as well tear yourself a new bumhole if you want to upgrade to a latest gen RNS-E and have someone do the conversion properly for you, trust me, I know ;)

Very nice, what happened to the bonnet? Bit high above the front bumper, extra cooling?

Theres a few things off the norm there .. bonnet is riddled with vents.. spotlights been removed , wagner lower vent grills ,black optics, ive never compared it side by side to another rs6 underneath bonnet etc to see all the differences .. I just drive it and prey it doesnt suck up my wallet to bad :-)

yeah the nav system does look dated.. I had a better system in my 08 tdi a4 sline , I'm not sure if there is a standard double din conversion for these 6's ?

It has an Alpine multi disc dvd player in the boot above cd changer which would be nice to utilize with a larger screen..

I done a double din conversion on my old 996 with a Kenwood sat nav unit which looked factory fitted when finished.. not sure about the audi though... going for a browse. (my wallet's breaking a sweat) .

The wood stays !! ,classy but not the sportiest of looks,it grows on you though kinda like athletes foot.

Robbo, tell me; did the previous owner have a mansion, loads of supercars, and the page three model wife he claimed?
Nice car, put some Audi rings on the back and straighten the RS 6 badge and you're winning.

More importantly, was Nimrod, in fact, considerably richer than us?

Can't see anything wrong with the bonnet height, mav. I think you're imagining it. :)

Can't see anything wrong with the RS6 badge. I think it's just the camera angle.

The RNS-D is fine. Looks better than any of the after-market installs that I have seen. Save your money for driveshafts.

Wood? Meh. Not worth changing out.

I think my major criticism would be the tyres. It's like putting high heels on Hussain Bolt. And not in a good way.

The RS 6 is badge is wrong, I bet you your next oil filter from TPS on it.

OP, don’t bother with the Auto Glym stuff, it has just been detailed by a pro. The Auto Glym will most likely just feck everything all up. Should be good for another 6 months or so.

Should the top of the red square on the badge be leaning more to the right , even though the bottom edge/line of the red square will be pointing downhill to the right then
It should look more like

Nice shine on the paint by the way ( dont lean your other wheels up the motorhome/caravan/passion wagon)
