MrHilario's B7 RS4

[MrHilario]

Hey guys,

As some of you know, I've been on the forum for a couple of years now, and have finally got my car looking how I wanted it to when I originally bought it. (Actually that's a lie, I had this idea after seeing Faisal's RS4 at Wings & Wheels in 2016 when he had his speedlines fitted)

Yes, two years is a long time, and yes, I am a lazy sod.

Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics of what it was like when I picked it up, and how it is now after a couple of minor mods and a good detail.

This is what it was like when I bought it:

All standard, only slight mod was the guy blocked off the pipe for the exhaust flaps so they are always open.

Modifications by me:
Originally got the wheels refurbed at Lepsons as the guy's missus couldn't park it apparently. Either that or he was too ashamed to admit he couldn't park! The car had Alloygators on it and the wheels were a mess underneath when I removed them.
8mm spacers all round
100% black window tint all round except the fronts.
B6 door trims (bought the wrong ones by accident , but same fit and look good so kept them)

Here is what it looked like:

Further mods:
A set of 20" speedlines off Ozzy on here, refurbed in Satin Black with Hyper Silver rims.
A set of KW lowering springs off Marcus7
Full paint correction, detail and ceramic coat done by GVDS in Bexleyheath. Done a great job, especially bringing the aluminium back to life!

And here is the final result! I'm very happy with it

Very nice young man, small changes but effective.

Thanks Jon.

Yep, nothing major, but I like how it's turned out. Was umming and ahhing over the wheels for ages, thought it might be a bit too 'rude boy' but they look class, especially in the flesh. It got a lot of attention at the detailers from other customers apparently.

Looking forward to seeing it

Nice, Are the kw’s on the lowest setting on the rear?

I have NEVER liked black wheels with silver rims...but I’m sold on that Si...perfectly matches the silver trim. Very very nice indeed.

Not sure to be honest, just gave it AMD and they fitted them, will take a look tomorrow

Cheers mate, looks better in the flesh, as you’ll find out tomorrow! See you then

Looks great. I’m not usually a fan of alu optics on a dark Rs but I love how they tie in with the wheels, looks ace.

Cheers

You could have at least credited the photographer you ungrateful son of gun Si told you that before but those wheels look ace on a black car!!! Very TRON.
