Looks the part, adds a bit more class to the interior, would putting around the door speakers be to much?

[xpoweruk]

I did consider it JG,but it may be a step too far lol

I like it XP and the colour match isn't far off either you'll be searching your interior talking your self out of beading every bit you see

Update on the strut brace ....

They are built to order,so I'm awaiting manufacture of the brace

 

[xpoweruk]

Well the strut brace is cancelled
The company that makes them isn't playing ball.The site apologised,cant fault them TBH

However a new one has just hit the market for the S4 B8
Order commencing

 

[Laurent]

you should ask u2nelson on audizine for the brace, I bought it from him!

 

[Laurent]

oh unless it's no good for LHD..

 

[Chop.]

Who's on the new one XP ?

 

[xpoweruk]

The CR15 (??) one. Looks like a nice bit of kit

Who's on the new one XP ?

It's an Ultra Racing one Chop.They now do an S4 specific strut brace.

 

[Laurent]

where did you get the rear diffuser and have you got a pick of the front splitter fitted as i were looking at that one ?

 

[xpoweruk]

Info is all in the thread Adam (had a bad day)

 

[xpoweruk]

Today was a bit of a mare.
Managed to rip the front bumper off after getting it trapped on a kerb/flag stone.

Made a good mess of the bumper,but managed to get another & it is on route .

Was ready to cry at the tome lol

 

[Chop.]

XP wtf

Not good bud did the splitter survive? How did you manage that, gutted for you mate

 

[TechNick]

Really sorry to hear about your bumper, XP.
Just a thought, but have you considered taking the opportunity to go down the RS4-styled route, such as this one?

[desertstorm]

Are you going to paint it or leave it white ? .
There are some fitted pictures in this thread.

I quite like the look of the CR-15 bar as it looks so simple and basically strengthens the factory attempt as a strut brace.
It also seems to get some very good reviews from people who have fitted a lot of the available upgrade parts and the CR-15 made the biggest difference.
In fact it looks so simple I have ordered some 10swg 1 inch ally tube and will have a go at making one myself. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two.
