Finished off the lowering springs today with the help of a friend who came round.  Much easier with two people and a ramp!  The fronts are more involved than the rear to say the least!

Got there though!

Pretty happy how it's sitting I have to say.  Makes the 17's look less lost!

I tried on a single Audi dtm 18" alloy on the front with a 235/40 Pirelli tyre.  And actually look like I might get away with the 235. They are the mates who came round to help, so he has very kindly said that I can run them and see how I get on, and if they are fine then happy days....

Pics....

Nice build thread. Shame about the sills. Are you going to get them done?
Those A4 DTM wheels look the nuts on it. Lovely colour too :happy2:

Cheers Mike :happy2:

I'm going to start with colour coding the rear bumper, keeping the lower exhaust bit black.  Then will see about side skirts.  It's my daily driver, and I'm not really supposed to be spending money on it!! Haha, well not on stuff that's not 'needed'!!

B5 Argh Ess Four  :drool:

Wheels suit the tornado red in many ways, be sure to include more pics of the RS4 Avant too!  :popcornsoda: :evilgrin:

Got myself a rear bumper that was painted red on the bottom half too, so swapped that out with the black plastic one.

Pretty happy with how it looks.  A lot better than the black....

That's truly stunning chap, what's the situation with it now?

Splitter and wheels work very well on the red  :evilgrin:

Cheers Pete!  The RS is going well.  Had it over the west coast of Scotland about three weeks ago with some mates..Cracking roads!  I don't use it much tbh, keeping the miles off it, but running it every now and then as they don't like to sit around.

In other news...I dropped the golf in to the VW body shop in Aberdeen on Tuesday and got the front wing replaced under warranty.  Spot on job, and nice to have two good wings on the car now!

Not updated my thread for a while... A few wee things done...

tidied up the exhaust , not perfect but a fair bit better....

Before...



After...



Also re-hung the drivers door as it sat low and it was bugging me every time I looked in the wing mirror..

Before...



After...



I've also fitted a MFSW, not got all the buttons working, which is a bit frustrating after getting the bits required and things aren't working correcting, but I will get round to sorting it (I reckon it's something to do with the combination of red highline clocks/mfd2 head unit/and perhaps incorrect control module)...handy having the volume buttons working as the head unit volume control is uber sensitive when changing volume...no pics

Fitted the 'gti' badges in to the height adjustment handles.. It's the wee things.. And you see it every time you get in and out!..

Before...



After...



Still loving the Audi dtm's ...
