This is trueBut you do get smile gains when you boot it!

Got mine for a third the price of a miltek and they sound great with no droneagreed and i think the BCS are priced a little high for what they are
I have been running Stage 1+ revo for a year and it still makes me smile! I have replaced the rear arb with the 034 motorsport one and fitted Eibach sport 30mm lowering springs. Car certainly corners flatter than before. Also replaced backboxes with BCS ones for a better sound! Contemplated the RS4 grill but why pretend you are driving an RS4. Would rather have a sleeper S4 that is faster than the RS anyway! Also you will only be able to get the grill without rings soon due to copyright laws apparently!This cold / sleety weather hasn't been giving me many opportunities to open the taps but on the few occasions that it has I have been staggered by the rate that the car builds speed. The supercharger whine is slightly more prevalent now (not a problem it sounds awesome) and the DSG farts seem to be a bit less frequent which I think may be due to the fact that the gearbox changes gear quicker now, I cannot wait to get some dry weather so that I can get out for a bit of a drive and stretch its legs a bit, the main issue is going to be not stretching them too far now as it gets into 3 figures at a ridiculous rate of knots! Once I manage to get out for a proper drive I will put together a proper review with my thoughts on it all, I think the next upgrade will probably be a RARB to sharpen the handling up a bit and then I am debating on fitting a RS4 grill or similar and getting some darker coloured wheels....
The list goes on!
Doesn't actually drop the car 30 mm as it is lower anyway prob 10mm. I am running 19s and they look good. Also running 10mm spacers at the front and 12 mm at the back with no rubbing.Yeah I know what you mean I am not 100% that I want to go all black everything it's just an idea so far really... I do want to change the wheels as although the 18's do look good and contribute to the sleeper effect I just think that another design and probably 19's will look a bit better. I would be tempted to do the eibach's but I don't want to make the car too low that its a pain, coming off and on my drive is already quite close now and I have to be careful not to catch the front by coming off at anything more than a snails pace.

Let me know if you are selling your 18” as I am in the market for 18” for my other B8.

S5 standard ARB has a larger diameter than the standard S4 one.I am wondering if anyone has fitted a hardrace RARB at all? It looks like its the same thickness as the 034 item for a much lower price, it isn't adjustable but I can't imagine that many people actually change the hole once it is fitted anyway's, so this would just be the same as the 034 in its stiffest setting I am guessing?
I think the S5 and the S4 are the same fitments anyway under the car but I have messaged them to check and make sure and then I might give them a try as the 034 is almost twice the price of this!

Just got some footage with a new camera mount on my car that gives a better idea of the sound.
I am surprised by how loud it can be and then how quiet it is when you are just behaving and pootling around normally.

Sounds Schweet! I see you have a bumper protector on. I’m looking for one that fits nicely and doesn’t look **** , plus importantly will protect from taking flight cases out and my assistants being lazy and careless!
Is that a carbon fibre effect one ? And is it the flexible stick on ones or a solid plastic affair, where did you get it from.
I’ve seen some on eBay and a car parts website , but not convinced on how they sit and will look as the stock photos are generic .
Yeah it is a carbon fibre effect one, it was a thick sticker basically but seems to be doing the a good job. I can't remember where exactly I got it from but I can have a look if you want? You might be able to see slightly better in this pic

Ahh, looks like i'd found the same on ebay:

What I want to know is how wide is it, i.e how much does it actually cover? I sometimes find these OEM parts can be a bit generic on their fitment.
Good stuff, looks the business! What rear diffuser have you got on there? it looks smartTurned up on Friday, fitted yesterday, even hides a blemish or two
