Looks good mate,

I've got 21" RS4 alloys and they do look good.. similar to what you have in your pic. I also have the running boards which make it look a bit more agressive. I much prefer the s-line look so well done on that.

Where did the quad exhausts come from? are they just tips as when i asked Abt about having mine changed they needed to change the whole rear bumper section.

I like the black front grill.. mine still has the chrome finish. I have the tints which are great but that came as part of the alpine dvd set up.

exhausts are tips welded on and the bumper shaved to make them fit but to be honest i dont like them. looks cheap however some people have commented on them lookng good. how much was it for running boards if you dont mind me asking

I think you'd be looking at around £1000 with buying, VAT and fitting. (for the audi one)

I know you can get tubes and alternatives much cheaper.

The kids love them as they aid access to the car and they save scuffing the door sills.

Your link doesn't seem to be working for me :(

I have the 21" wheels and now have the de-chromed grill. I'm also changing my roof rails for black ones then changing all the chrome round the windows for black. I've also removed the badges from the rear :-)

Yeah will do, just need to give it a wash then I'll get some put up..I love the difference just the removal of such a tiny bit of chrome has.....it looks very very mean now.

I bought some rails off a breaker and get them painted so just need to fit them but the cost is high for fitting due to the work involved

Agreed!.. I love mine but i have 3 daughters so it's the ideal car for me.

It's heavy and the brakes do take hell of a pounding!! and at a £1000 a set of tyres it's not cheap to run..

but saying that I really like it!

The trick with Brake Pads is to have them done at a Kwik Fit garage, they use genuine parts and offer free replacements for as long as you have the car.

I've just had my front ones replaced for free and my backs will be done shortly also for free.

It's a no brainer and they don't like it as I'm sure they loose a fortune :-)
