Loving that spoiler!Managed to get the front splitter, rear spoiler and fog overlays fitted today.
Looks lots more aggressive now.
Also a massive thanks to @Spaceman_RS3 for the sideblades and @rasA4 for the eBay link.
Car is coming along nicely, next will probably be some spacers and some coilovers.
Hopefully the weather is nice on Monday and I will give it a damn good clean.

Where did you that from and did you have to remove the stock spoiler first?
cheers!
Did you remove it by heating it up?Thanks, it was an eBay bargain of the century because it is a genuine Audi spoiler. There are a few on eBay but Quite expensive. I did remove the standard lip first.

Mines white and I really want a black one.
Its a lovely looking car as it is especially in that colour and to me each piece of carbon you stick on detracts from the cars looks
I must be the only one wants to keep my s4 looking as "ordinary " as possible. surely thats the whole point of the s4.
I am even tempted to get rid of the stupid V6 badges on mine
Playing devil’s advocate... surely that £20k gap becomes smaller over a period of time?
The RS4 will depreciate less than the S4 which narrows the gap?
The the cost of mods will all start to add up and after, let’s say, 3 years the figures balance out pretty evenly? Or leave only a small price gap between them?
Ah so the JB4 is finally available. Took a while. I had a JB1 on my golf r and was impressed and would of took the JB4 if it had been available for the s5 over a tuning box.Had a little play around this weekend with the Jb4. I Also had the Bluetooth module and the Boost Control module installed. Total cost of £800 but I’m my eyes worth every pound. As you can see a massive improvement. Car is a different beast now.

Coming to this thread very late I appreciate.
Where did you source the CF splitter.
Is it attached with self tappers?
Any other pics of it would be appreciated.
Cheers
On the topic of the Jb4, how are the gear changes at the higher boost levels (map3+) are they jerky as per the other piggy backs?
What app/bluetooth module are you using to measure those times? They look amazing.. might have to invest into the JB4
I've never found jerky gearshifts to be an issue with tuning boxes so maybe you could explain further your particular experiences for those who might wish to fit a piggy back instead?On the topic of the Jb4, how are the gear changes at the higher boost levels (map3+) are they jerky as per the other piggy backs?
Sorry for slow reply I’ve just got back from climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. I brought it through Awesome GTI. They are a dealer for ECS tuning parts so anything you want from there they can help you with.
I had a JB1 in my Golf R and it was great. Currently have a tuning box but interested in the JB4. What was involved in getting one - just the JB4 itself or any other parts need changing? I heard it was full of bugs - all these sorted now?
Impressive figures!
I think like for like, the Jb4 seems to make 10% more than the less sophisticated piggybacks. £800 is bit of a stinger though!
