Default First post - 2011 S4 Avant

Hi guys,

this is my first post on this discussion, though I was pretty active in the A6 C5 and C6 forums.

Just bought myself a Aug 2010 S4 Avant, s-tronic, with ADS and the sport differential. Only done about 15K miles, and was in good mechanical condition. It was grey on the outside, and the PO x 2 put on a clear bra which was totally yellowed, so pulled it off, and re-sprayed the entire car Brilliant Red.

Moved the MTMs to the S4 from the C6 by having the centre bore professionally milled from 57.1 mm to 66.56 mm.

Lousy iPhone pic, and will post pics and mods as I go along.

Best
Andrew

Did you paint the mirror caps red too? Hard to see with that pic on the device I'm on.

Yes, everything's been blacked out except the Audi emblems and front grille surround. Not a fan of the chrome or AL look.

Very nice. I'm a big fan of red. Although currently rolling with Phantom black. Previous 3 S4s were red.

Thanks. I had 3 cars which were black, 2 of which were brilliant black, and seriously tough to keep pristine.
