Think you are Greg, that's what I'm seeing too.

:shock:
Looks like Axle stands are in place and probabably taking the main weight :?:

Axle stands in place!

Blocks under discs just a precaution for the guys working underneath!

im looking at RS4's ATM :twisted: , i would really be interested to see this up close to see the finished detail, might be a shout, especially if its going to save the paint from chips for resale :idea: !!!

Wondering if I could get the same effect on the rear end of my S1 with a few tins of spray on hammeright and some masking tape...

Who gives a monkeys about resale, I'll probably wipe it out at some point anyway before I sell it..
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

Clark

Time to buy was a few months back, there was loads of RS4's at stupid prices, people desp to sell. Lot less cars on the market now (esp avants) and prices have risen :D (thankfully!) over the past couple of months??? If you want a closer look just give me a shout.

Still a great car for the money, not expecting the car to depreciate much in the forseable future (Hopefully :mrgreen: ) hence why I have decided to keep it and do the wrap!

Good luck on the search - its an awesome car!

Looks fricking awesome man. I would have blacked out the audi rings though, but thats a 50/50 personal preference, as I know you probably thought about it and decided not to :wink:

Looks good. I'm back to thinking about this / striping on my s1 to disguise the crap paint at the front...

I'm really interested to know the answer to this, Barrie. Be impressive if every last bit is covered... or is it just the external surfaces IYSWIM?
Sorry, did you say something? :D
