Awwww, guys, thanks for the nice comments! I couldn't have dreamnt of a better birthday present to myself.
They had the car 3 weeks!!! during which I racked up approx 1500 miles on a 1.4L Clio (wasn't too bad, actually). Anyway, trying to figure whether to go with a painted double-grille or the new S-Line SFG was very difficult. In the end I'm happy with the choice: it's subdued, aggressive, monolithic. I'm amazed how many people turn their heads at it.
All it needs now is another 3/4" drop.
The castle in the picture is very real ;-) It's close to where I live, and a big hit among UK tourists. If any of you come to visit La Cité de Carcassonne, by all means PM me.
BTW, 17x7.5" ET 56 5-branch Audi wheel with half-worn 225/45/17 Michelin PS2: 21 Kilos.
These 18x8" ET 45 B7 RS4 replicas with new 225/40/18 Bridgestone RE050: 23 Kilos.
The PS2 tire is very light, probably close to a Kilo less than the RE050. Plus, this one was very used. So, the weight difference between the two rims must be around 0.75 to 1.25 KIlos. Not bad for reps!
Me wants (for tracking) OZ Superleggeras in 18x8" with Michelin Cups: 18 Kilos!!!! Next birthday? ;-)
