What bulb do you have in your DRL position? It looks like it has a blue colour?
 
Sorry, I thought you had Bi-Xenon and I was looking at the inner bulb. In mine it's a P21W. I'm looking for a LED bulb that will not give me errors. (Very hard to find even if they say canbus)
 
Nice car! ;)

Would you consider getting a smaller number plate plinth to match your shortened plate?

Try Hid direct or Auto Bulbs...

Was thinking about it and I'll probably just remove the plinth once I've painted the bumper bar black! I'll stick the number plate direct to the grill probably
 
Test fit of Honeycomb fog inserts!

Love the de-chrome! Is it paint, or a wrap? Need to do mine soon, lovely blue 3.0 tdi saloon :)
Also looking at a few grills on ebay, which one did you go for?

Thank you

It's been wrapped in gloss black. But the grill was supplied black from...
http://www.nfdesignz.co.uk/product/audi-rs6-front-grill-2004-2011/
Never looked back!
Thanks, that grill looks like a good option and not a bad price! I have my eye on one on eBay from Poland for about £90 delivered, but the place recess is not removable, and I imagine the quality of finish is not as good...
Did you do the wrapping yourself? I'm fairly confident I can apply all the wrap myself, but I'm not so sure about removing all the trims without damaging them, was it straight forward?

The one from Poland doesn't fit well I believe. As another forum member discovered! Apparently there was a huge gap at the bottom...
I did initially plastic dip it myself! But only lasted a few months. I then wrapping myself and it lasted about a year! I then got it done professionally and it's been 2 years now... It's easy enough to do however the issue is it won't last! And I think I paid about £150... So was well worth it imho

Are those S5 wheels a direct fit? I know spigot rings are needed for the different Hub sizes. But apart from that any arch work or different tyre size? Thanks
 
Removed my number plate plynth and painted the crash bar black. Have placed the number plate offset till my new plates arrive then it'll be back in the centre of the Grill. I also added the 'Quattro' badge... And she's had a wax top up. Used Collinite 845 ☺

I've also ordered a full size sticker plate to go under the headlight.I'll put a cutout in it for the xenon washer hatch. I've got a Quattro badge to go on as well now :)

I removed my sticker as it wasn't a legal one... Plod are quite funny around here!
 
Hmmm I'm hoping to get away with it. Ran no plate for a while on my A3 with no hassle. I'll keep my legal pressed plate in the boot on the place holder in the boot just in case.
