MRSNEAK Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hey everyone, I am due to collect the above in four weeks. (was due to be next week but the dealer screwed up!!) and have some questions around it, I would be grateful for any assistance you can give me. Mirrors, I want to get the "S" model look for my mirrors. Is is possible to simply have them painted? If so what colour code would it be? Wheels, I have not actually seen A4 with the ltd edition wheels in the flesh but in the photos I have seen they seem to look a little small (don't look like they fill the arches) for the size of the car (in my opionion at least and when compared to the 5 arm wheels). Thinking of upgrading to 19", what's the max size width I can go up to without incountering problems? I have seen the same wheels on an A6 in 19", would these fit my car? Would real RS4 (new shape) fit? Any other wheels you would recommend to keep the factory look? Suspension rather than getting bigger wheels I may lower the car, or both. What packages would you recommend? Would shorted springs only, make a big difference in handling? How low can I go on 18" and 19" without causing problems. Thanks in advance, I am based in Edinburgh.

maersk Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 OK so the front wings are steel but the rear three quarter pressings and the boot lid????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to require the RS4 wheels, and front and rear end. 80-100mm tips would look a bit daft sticking out the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Are you really, really sure? [/ QUOTE ] Have you actually looked at an RS and a S-line next to each other? The front and rear wings and sills are way wider on the RS compare these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
