I saw this RS live when I picked up my RS from the mechanic.
The car is made with taste and looks beautiful. Congratulations to the owner.

looks like i forgot about this topic but anyway shes alive and doing well,mapped to 530bhp and 800nm with dyno print,did like nearly 20k so far and had not much issues,put some h@r collies,then last summer fitted kw3 then switch back to h@r which i prefer,too much time to set kw3 and im dont doing any track days etc so decided i dont need them,had interior swap for black ones,flat steering wheel fitted,2 years ago i did convert headlight to biled projectors,last summer while we went to poland rear bearing failed on one side so replaced both,2x abs sensors and both cv joints and thats it really,using car few days a week and enjoying driving it.

I like your DIS. It looks tidy. What is it?

I was thinking the same on the DIS, looks like https://linktr.ee/3dcolormfd ? I’ve been tempted to do that since replacing the RDS with a Pioneer, the top half of the DIS is blank most of the time.

Great post. Really good read and great photo,s.
Another thumbs up for the DIS.
The Le Mans alloys also look great. They just seem to suit the C5.

Great thread and build. There are many things here I'd like to get onto my car one day.
I really like those A8 9-spoke alloys. Gives it strong OEM look and a muted style like the rest of the car.

I am a great believer that these cars need to be driven.
Mine is also my daily.
Congrats on the work you have done. She looks very tidy.
