I agree. I never really fell for Misano on the B7 cars, but in my eyes it really suits the b8 with the black styling pack and privacy glass

Just realised I missed heated front seats off the configuration tool, but I've ordered them too

Misano is an epic colour on the B8 shape, even more so with optics.
Totally agree, Misano is the nuts and will be rare compared to the very common Sepang.......I've only seen one other RS4 since getting mine and yes, it was Sepang (with black optics). In the Reading area....anyone on here?

OP - good choice.

Buckets aren't an issue of cost. It's as I said earlier that my wife doesn't like then and my 76yr old mother, who I seem to spend half my life ferrying around, falls in and then struggles to get out again
I'm a bit sad to be honest, as buckets have always made the RS cars for me, but you know how it is

Know what you mean - my 83 year old gran had enough difficulty getting in my S4 Recaros when I picked the grandparents up for Christmas. RS4 buckets would have been impossible!

The B8 I drove was Misano with privacy and 20s - was certainly striking!

Just buy a spare SuperSport seat and run x1 bucket and x1 SuperSport.

Done.

Have ordered mine with the standard seats as missus would get annoyed with the buckets as she is 5ft1 and will drive the car most days
B8 RS4 arrived May 2014

Congrats G. You won't regret the ceramics.
6 or 4 it'll look good in Misano.

You gotta stop showing me rs6's and tempting me as I'm already not 100% sure I've made the right decision to get another 4 :)

Especially as one of the other forum guys has this beauty ;

I think b8's definitely need the black pack/Priv glass to look cool

Sack the four off completely and go six with carbon pack and mirrors.
