    someone goes to all that trouble and then paints it a matt grey!!!.....a nice metallic pearl black/blue/anything but grey would have been a bit better....
    What do you think??....

      My thoughts exactly. Really really poor choice of colour... Shame.

      It looks very well built and those rims are Nice!

        Supposed to be grey pearl so perhaps it's the pictures/light that aren't doing it any favours. Love the simplicity of the look though and those rims really suit the coupe well. Seen them on a couple over here ehrn trawing the web, what can you get them off with 5x112 as the TT ones are obviously 5x100 and therefore won't fit. A6/A8?

            Yep, less is more in this case. These were fitted to the V8 A6 as standard I think. Can you supply links/pics to the other Coupes with the competition rims fitted please Andy?

            Thanks,

              The competition ones are only in 5 x 100 thats why all the golf guys run them

              A8 run similar (like mine) in 18"

                    TT ones are called competition the A6 ones are called Competiton or Parabola. They are standard fitment for the A6 4.2 V8 which is a far more common site in the states than here in blighty. I think they were offered as an option for the A4 too though I can't be certain.

                        yeah the gauze for the air filter is a tad dodgy and it is a real shame about the colour, IMO just doesn't suit the car, the pearlescent grey/silver on the S2 look lovely tho...

                        Think i'd be buying some bulk alacantra trim to cover the wood up once and for all too. Hats off for a great project motor though

                          It's shiny - but it looks like someone primered the car and then polished the primer.

                          Alcantara would definitely benefit the interior ...a lot!
