Well, had a mishap with the paint first time round, so picked these up again last night

Are you not selling up then? What were you thinking of selling it for? You hinted it was something special!!

New painted bits look nice! Have you been rolling without a bumper all this time? :)

I do like your car a lot.
 
cheers mate, appreciate the comments.

was seriously considering selling for a b6 s4 avant, gonna hold out for now though as got a wedding & holiday in july to pay for still.

after that, i'm thinking i'm going to miss the s4 and go straight for its bigger brother (or cousin?)

rolling without the bumper for near 3 weeks now,
 
Oooh, nice! The S4's are nice, very nice. The RS4's are a different animal though. I would love an RS4/6.

Is it your wedding you're paying for? ha! I'm so glad that's allover and done with for me, they're rather expensive events. We did ours on a shoestring budget as we were both students at the time, madness!
 
Cheers guys.

yeah, really feeling the C6 S6 the now, ideally this will be the next motor if all goes to plan (finish up a perm job on friday that i've been doing for 10 years to start a 4 month contract as a consultant, big gamble but as i say, if it works out it'll be well worth it)

we are going to cyprus to get married, just thought it'd be a nice small thing for us, our 3 kids & our mums. its now turned into a 22 people affair so probably not any cheaper!
 
Big love Carl :D Glad you got the little mix up with the paint sorted. get the bits on bro! Looking forwards to the outcome.
 
Well scrap that last comment I put in a best bid offer on the us boot lid of £90 when it was advertised for £150 and he accepted lol
 
Excellent mate!

Another update

RNS-E sat nav fitted on Saturday, then picked up an OEM audi bluetooth kit this afternoon so I spent a little time tonight fitting that

I like mate. I really want one of these. Got a jvc DVD touch screen at the mo but think this would b better. When you fitting the bits to your car need to see them :D
 
I run a Pioneer Multimedia station with sat nav, dvd, phone, tv etc - screens in cars are great!

Car's looking great Carl! I know what I think of the silver blades, and I'll leave it there ;)

PS Don't forget the rear wiper.....!
 
Wiper will not be refitted when the new lid goes on mate ;)

Cheers for the comments
 
Nice Carl, is that standard on the back wheels or have you added 5mm spacers?
 
Bolted straight on mate, was gonna space them but gonna go lower instead
 
Can I ask what number plate are you going to put on back? As I am tryin to find one for my US boot lid
 
i'm getting a single line import plate made up by a mate for normal daily use, you'll be able to do that too with your 5 digit :)

will get one for the front too, not sure if i'll use it though?

will probably get some us pressed plates for 'show' use
 
Carl the vant is coming along a treat. I love the brake disc's more imfo please.

Could you get your mate to do me one and send him the money through paypal?

No problem mate, I'll get some pics once I've got mine made up and see what you think, we'll have a play with different styles and size of font
 
Where bouts are you from. Just thought I could help u with ur rear window as I work for autoglass
 
Sounds like a good plan, as I've seen your pics at AMD I'm guessing your nowhere near Scotland :)
 
Nice looking car, I have the same colour in a 1.8t, some interesting mods on. Bentley wheels look the D.B,s.
