Hell yeah.. Not into that look lol..

Actually I would be getting it vinyl wrapped, just for re-sale purposes, as it would give people the choice :)

Also vinyl is lighter than paint.. but thats honestly not a reason, as it would be very marginal!

The only alternative is to have the whole car wrapped in Matte black, and leave the carbon bare.. (I would spec the carbon to be a matte finish also)

Really like the idea of this, and I was so close to having the car done just before Christmas, but to be honest, its been done, and its getting a bit old now..

Would still look nice but its money that can be better spent I think  :laugh:

Mine now is a fair bit quicker than an RS4, had this whole conversation when I had my S3.. The RS4 is big, limited when it comes to tuning, not quick as standard and would look like I was driving my dad's car..

Ask Vtec about RS4's.. lol

RS4's are without doubt lovely cars

BUT . . . this ed30 will be unique when its finished, and is much nicer looking imo already  :happy2:

Keep the updates coming  :laugh:

i can see what your saying i just love the rs 4 (especially this yellow one )  i went in as a passenger in a revo demo car when revo was only just coming to the uk and the noise and power that thing made i will never forget , my ed30 is quick but imo is not in the same league as the rs 4 . are you at the santa pod meet ?would like to see/hear your car for real  :happy2:

It's not just about how fast performance stats you can buy for your money though, is it. Jonny's car will be (already is) unique. It's horses for courses and not everyone wants a fast family car like the RS4 - I find the hatchback much more suitable for my lifestyle - We each choose our car for a variety of reasons.

Sweet ride there, especially like the S3. Are you based around Wiltshire? as I noticed your S3 at Castle Coomb and I've seen Regals RSS350 in Swindon before too!!
