Firstly I am listing this vehicle on behalf of my friend. If you have any questions at all or you just want to find out more please do not hesitate to give Ken a call for a long chat and he can go into as much detail as you want. His mobile number is 07595 911921 (no calls after 9pm please)...
I have the RS5 8 pots and 365mm discs and previously had the standard 18" 8J et 47 wheels.
You will have to run I think a 10mm spacer to clear the calipers, they will not even fit over the 19" S5 8.5J et 32 wheels without either a small spacer or shaving a small part of the front of the caliper.
I had a similar experience when I fitted 4 pot RS3 calipers to be A3 3.2 the pedal feel was poor and the performance wasn't great. Some people suggested fitting a bigger cyclinder but actually the issue was the brake pads, fitted a set of DS2500's and pedal feel was so much better. I've got the...
Yeah I do like the black edition parts, I do show and shine at some of the events so if the parts don't show stonechips helps my OCD lol!
Thanks, yeah I've kept the chrome mirrors, roof rails and window trims, didn't want too much gloss black and they are close enough to silver not to stand out...
Cheers for your comments, yeah that's just what I'm going for so glad people think that's the look I'm achieving.
I've wrapped chrome grills before and they have stone chipped like paint does, maybe a little less though. Best thing is plastic that colour e.g. Gloss or Matt black, chrome etc...
Thanks a lot getting there now with the subtle mods I want to do. Hopefully get everything done in the next 6 months.
Will also apply for an article in fast car and audi tuner when it's done to see if I can get a magazine feature
No I got them from TPS as I know someone who works there. Found the reg number of a S4 black edition and gave them that. Think they were about £80-£90 for both. Just remember to take the plastic cover off the back of the passenger side one so air flows to the charge cooler.
As I posted up a few days ago, thought I would update everyone on progress with the car since ADI in October.
Since then I have completed the following changes:
*Fitted Audi S4 / S-Line Black Edition fog lamp trims / covers. I would have ideally like these in gloss black but as they are matt...
@Noo3thou as @TechNick said the chrome strip is removable.
Mine was painted on the car but I have a new rear valance / diffuser (got it for Christmas as a present) which I will get professionally sprayed in gloss black but will leave the chrome trim as it is.
Have done a few more bits to the...
Hi, thanks for your comments.
Love the s-tronic had dsg in my previous A3 and really liked it. I wouldn't go back to a manual now, cheaper tax, better fuel economy, full throttle gear changes.
You might say the manual is more involving not that I've driven one but that didn't put me off
