@NickR85 thanks a lot for your kind words.

@G N K I think I've went off the whole dark wheel look as well. I'm really happy how it looks just need to get the carbon bits sorted asap.

@redanni we will catch up some time and you can have a proper look at it.

@DavidY thanks a lot my man there will be some carbon additions added to under the bonnet as well as long with a nice car induction kit.

That's a fine example right there. Siting perfectly.

I was never one for a silver car but that is superb. Having owned a B8 RS4, I still think this one was the best looking!!

Health to drive mate.

I never really fancied a silver car but everyone has or had a blue one and yes it's a lovely colour I just thought I'd go for something different. The silver stood out and makes the archs look huge and that for me ticked all the box's.

I have been toying with the idea of getting this to allow the car to breath a little up front but I cant bring myself to spend that kind of money and I know in life if you have to think about these things then there normally not viable but I keep going back for a second third and fourth look.

@dave b there is not many options when it comes to cold air intakes and RS4`s there is the above kit and a Gruppe M induction kit the above is the cheaper of the two kits but test have proved they both suffer from heatsoak some people say wrapping the standard air box with gold heatwrap is a better way to go so for now I will keep it standard with the K&N replacement filter.

The big Girl needed some new brakes on the rear so last week she was treated to some new Brembo Disc and pads plus i trailed fitted some new wheels as well as I'd like to refurb the originals.

Sadly the BBS didn't work out we looked at every avenue and me being me I drive the car like it's ment to and running spacers is a big no no for me as id possibly rack myself with a 30mm spacer. So thanks to my missus who kindly paid to get my old wheels refurbed.

@loud n low thanks a lot. Next months update should be interesting as most of my carbon bits will be here.

The wheels where done by a good friend who works in Canavans of Lurgan.

My carbon skirt extensions arrived on Friday so myself and a friend put them on last night while also removing the rear wiper.

I'm just waiting on rear diffuser,front spillter,b pillar trims and carbon backs for the seats.

Ignore the dirt we did clean it after.

I had a little bit of bad luck with the car when I decided to head to ballyliffin to sort our wedding out. We got all wedding stuff sorted and where making our journey home when disaster struck I had a blow out 12 mile from Ballyliffin and had little to no battery life in my phone but lucky I had enough power to make one call to a friend who grabbed my jeep and made his way up to us. When he arrived we sat about taking the wheel off to see how bad the wheel was and there was no inner wall left.. It was clear at this time the car was going no where so we took the wheel down the road with us so I could get a tyre fitted the next morning. So Monday morning came I was up early and off to Tyre Master Portadown to get some new rubber. I treated the old to 4x Michelin Poilt Supersports.

I got one fitted to the wheel we took home and I grabbed a second just in case the other wheel decided to let go. It was just as well I did as once we got back to Donegal and back on the road i got 8 mile down the road and the passenger side tyre let go luckily it happened out side here so it was a handy fix.

So I got back on the road again and back to Tyre Master to get the two rears changed as well.

All this said and done and fast forward a few weeks i treated the car to a new plate as well. Something a little more fitting to the car,

If this works here is a small vid of what it sounds like.

Haven't seen you about in a while. Plate looks the business.
Super sports are unreal,
