CarMad Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 If this has been posted before Opps sorry. But just looked and I see that they are now offering RS4 18" alloys and a few other bits for no extra on the S-line SE A4s. Think they also come with Chrome rear tailpipes but the black surround grill. Looks pretty darn nice I have to say. [ QUOTE ] The S line Special Edition package starts with a powerful upgraded 2.0T 220 PS petrol or 2.0 TDI 170 PS diesel engine, and boasts impressive styling specifications. These include 18" alloy wheels styled on the RS 4 and S line body styling, as well as a black styling pack from quattro GmbH which includes de-chroming of window trims, a front grille and a roof rails on the Avant. Front sports suspension and cross-drilled front brakes (only on the 2.0T petrol model) complete the performance upgrade. [/ QUOTE ] Nice little video of the updated spec.

Alastair_A3 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Looks very nice except for the alcantara steering wheel and handbrake. These dont wear very well at all imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Classic parts-bin special run-out edition, they're just using up the bits before the B8 in the Autumn. Only buy if you can handle big-time depreciation!! Actually find it annoying that they're making it look even more like an RS4. particularly the wheels which really should be RS cars only!!

CarMad Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yeah very true. I won't be buying one new, but as a used buy it could be great for someone. But if your choosing a company car and you can't wait this is very worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizze Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have to say if I had an RS4 I would be well jarred off with the way they make the S-Lines look. At least the S4 doesn't look like an S-line, just a shame it doesn't look as good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiAudiSline Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 For a 'parts-bin special run-out edition' those S-lines dont look too shabby to me.

If I had paid 55K for a RS4 only to see a 25K S-Line looking virtually the same it would leave me a bit miffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I think that one of the chaps who comes to the SW Meets had problems both with the dealer and the company doing the chipping. I think it was going to cost him in the region of £1000 for a new ECU. I may have been resolved so I won't name names but if I remember correctly the company weren't as super as they suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I wouldn't expect anything less from Superchips, I used to work for someone who was a superchips reseller, and he told them to stick it due to their 'customer care' or lack of. I would only think the ecu itself would be a problem, if that was goosed I would think the only way you could knacker it is whith a bad flash, and that could be checked when sent back, but everything else like turbos etc. could have failed due to any reason.
