Awwww those pictures are a tease!!!! Get her washed and dried so we can have a better look at her, as craigcull said about his mates, a black surround for the grill would match up with the black window surrounds nicely
Well done on that bud, clearly a beauty buy!!!!

WHY the DTM is with non s-line front grill ?
Sadly the grille size is different from the S-Line. Pity really as the RS4 does look good in the DTM bumper but has to be cut to shape.
So is the grille in the DTM the same as the SE, or are there three different shapes out there?
Look like DTM is the same like NON S-line !!! which is the MOST stupid .... So 2.0T will cost hald of the DTM ... but on the DTM they will not put a good grill, non xenon headlight ? Why WHY ?
I got a DTM myself. Personally the oil will depend on what sort of service plan you going to use. If you plan to service it yearly I will strongly recommend mobil 1 0w40 as you suggested.
The 5w30 edge that scotty76 suggested can be used as well but is generally used for cars on a long life service plan.
But from personal experience the Mobil 1 0w40 is a incredible oil. It does the chain and oil pressure a lot of justice especially for early morning or just generally cold starts.
I know it retails for around £50 from halfrauds but if you have a costco card or a friend with one get him to get it for you as its only £29 or £29.99.
Xenon was a optional extra. Thankfully mine has them
And just to comment on everyone talking about the grill. It is actually in piano black so it quite shiny which i don't think is the same as the SE which is a matt grey or matt black finish.

the DTM was built around the SE model reason its got the se grill
also in the pic is the bonnet open ?
if not take the bumper off and refit it as it should be the gap is way to big.
prob had the belt done by a div that didnt know how to refit

Ah, but my question was about whether it was the same shape as the SE.
Wasnt pointing fingers was just getting it out there to let people know. As the pic doesn't really show it.
That would be the best choice. Try and use audi oil filters as well. Not aftermarket unless you using MANN filters as those are what audi use.
Yours has halogens from what I can see. The xenons are different.
The way to tell is if you sit in the car and look were you turn the headlights. If you have a option of were you can press a button and a knob pops out and you can adjust your headlights up and down. Then you have halogens.
From exterior point of view the headlights look like normal lights. The xenon have like a half crystal ball in the headlamp. And they dont use conventional bulbs. Nor do they have the knob to adjust the headlights as they self adjust.

That is the factory xenons.
