After 12months of the standard RS4...

[maars]

Matt blackwith anthracite wheels, much like the Lambo, would look cool on the RS4.

if it wasn't so damn dull to look at as standard i'd be tempted to do this to my A3.... how much were the vortex kits again?

 

[PNH80]

Sweet jesus that Lambo looks absolutely insane in matt black. I've seen a lambo in matt black before but the matt vinyl actually looks better than paint. I can't explain why, maybe a softer sheen?
If i had £800 floating about and owned an M3, RS4 etc.... I'd definitely film it matt gun metal or black.

 

[Sohrob]

there is a white rs4 with black wheels in Leeds, looks nice but a bit drug dealerish

 

[Matt]

cheers Toby

They will have the car for 3 days, 1 day is prep (cleaning paintwork, drying etc...) so that the vinyl will bond correctly/easily.

After care is pretty simple, no more waxes, just pressure washing etc...

Dont suppose you will know yet but be interested to hear how easy dirt is to wash off the vinyl. As I find when I've waxed my car it makes washing a lot easier.

£800 - Paint work that looks like the lambo - Fecking Awesssooommmmeee

Its on my list for mods to do now

 

[kaz219]

BTW - Anyone want to see a Bugatti Veyrom Vinyl Wrappedd ???

Hes lucky he can peel it off or that bugatti would have been worth 20 or 30p lol

Still - Vinyl the way forward!!

 

[10blazin]

[klauster]

I would prefer matt, anyone post me a pic of the difference on a car?

 

[Oli.]

Good man, that will look awesome - £800 sounds a lot cheaper than other prices Ive heard - around £1500 was what I thought it cost - still I s'pose the more people do it the easier.

Does this include shuts and door ends etc?

Are you going to get the grille chrome wrapped white, like the white packet? What about the chrome on the windows - black??

Good luck, looking forward to the pics

(Its just a shame the RS4 feels so slow.........)


Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm thinking matt black for mine...........****** forums!

 

[N8]

£800 sounds CHEAP lemme know how you get on.

 

[Mr.G]

wow, just had sex with those pics of the Matt RS4.

You have to do this, looks stunning. If i had the balls i'd do it to my 8L S3, just wont look right on my car i don't think.

[WiZBiT]

I'd spot bubbles for days, then get totally wound up and have it removed...

 

[APL TDi]

There should not be any bubbles.

And if there is the company that does it should have to put it right

 

[klauster]

if there are bubbles I won't pay, have you actually seen a car that has been vinyl wrapped?

No.

Birmingham Motor Show? I thought they held it in London nowadays.
Whens it on at Brum as London is a big disappointment.
BTW Matte White on an RS4 is the way forward!

yes it just peels of it actualy protect your paint i was thinking of getting this done my self ... i saw a matt black porshe jeep at the birmingham motor show looked so nice there was a company showing it of i cant remember the name only thing it you will get some jelous nonce that will scratch it ruin the whole thing you know how people are ...

 

[Amchlolor]

You say your insurance isn't interested, but surely you have to tell the DVLA??
If not, the coppers could have a field day with you.
Even a cursory radio check will say "black Audi"
Lo and behold, it's a white one in front of them.
Blue lights and embarrassing roadside stops for you.

nope, not a permanent colour change, so don't need to inform DVLA, already checked, some insurance companies make a note of the colour change, but very rarely does it effect a premium.

Don't think the DVLA is up to date with some of their protocols, or this is a loop hole, but I've spoken to them and there is nowhere for them to even record a temporary colour change

My mate who has the Z4M is a Police officer and he has changed the colour on the V5.. So, up to you.. But he saw it necessary.. In my eyes its worth it for the sake of taking a trip to the local DVLA office and preventing getting stopped by the police every time it comes up as a Black RS4 when its obviously white, your going to get stopped and have to explain it all etc..

It doesn't cost anything, and its not permanent, if you go back to the paint, then you just do the same again..

Agreed

 

[JohnS3]

So Nick, pics by Thursday then? Cant wait to see this!

 

[redbutcher]

Looking forward to the pics. It looks like white is becomming the new black. Seen a few white Audi's and they all have looked fantastic. Lucky enough to see a brand new RS6 Avant yesterday in white - absolutely gorgeous it was. Just parked in the local retail park car park - next to a red RS6 Avant of all cars!

 

[klauster]

well I might pop a taster pic up at the weekend, but alloys dont get done until Monday, so proper pics will be next week

 

[Ash B]

Taster photo's please Nick when done! Quite looking forward to seeing photos

fair point, might as well declare the change then

 

[kaz219]

came accross this if it helps

 

[klauster]

got any pics of a car in matt white?

 

[Ash B]

Here some photos
Not an audi but get the idea and A5/S5 same size-ish to your RS4 but not whtie sorry

 

[APL TDi]

The SLR is painted, you can see the weave throught the paint.

Am I missing the point?

Edit: yes I am missing the point, you just wanted to see a matt white car...

[I'mRonBurgundy?]

As a rule I don't like the optics grille look - just not my cup of tea. But a gloss black grille on a matt black car - now that works!

Also a matt aluminium finish on that A3 grille would look insane.

Could just be a vinyl wrap with the carbon pattern printed in it!
The black A5 is the meanest A5 i've seen! Quite like that.

Thats not paint, its just a carbon affect vinyl wrap..

That S5 looks nice!!

 

[10blazin]

as i was saying earlyer in the thread if you wrapping it got to be matt or that carbon weave looks nice but not shiney its pointless just looks painted also matt white with matt black wheels lardy dar....you no it makes sense

 

[Ash B]

I really like the carbon affect. And in the close up looks really good aswell!

 

[HotboxDeluxe]

Inspiration! Last time I had a matt black car me and my m8 painted it with a brush

But that was an old Cavalier, think my A3 deserves a bit better even tho I don't like it at the moment. Pondering matt black vinyl now

 

[klauster]

well its too late now, car is now with them and being prep'd for wrappage...

will update when I hear something

 

[APL TDi]

I think you would look like a complete Kn*b if you got fake carbon effect wrap, just my opinion of course

i recon just plain white will look killer

 

[JohnS3]

Does this make it invisible to radar?
