    I maybe wrong, but i believe you have two different types of wheel on your car. The rears look like the original S8 Avus wheel but the fronts look like the newer Avus wheel similar to what was on the S6 with the flatter style spoke. It maybe deceiving on the picture but worth checking.

      My bad!, just realised you haven't changed the rears on the picture and they are the 16" Avus. SOS

        Nice work - and evidence if it be needed that old is so often better than new...

          RS6's are stupid expensive to maintain. Cambelt to do properly is over 1000+vat

          Good to see it back on the road tho. Clear indicators would bring it up to date for very little money. Nothing a good machine polish wont cure on the paint im sure.

          With the new brakes you will be wanting the ECU sorting to make sure they can stop it

                2nd actually I did 2 years at ADi with a stock ECU and Porky brakes and showed those who did it the other way around a clean set of heels (only part of may car that is clean )

                Strange, as my M reg Coupe had clear indicators from new so I always assumed they were standard on late ABY's

                As for the repeaters, mk3 Golf ones are the same shape so you can get any colour in the correct shape. I fitted smoked ones to my Green Coupe so they stand out (although my car is always smoked colour too )

                Nice car tho

                Cheers n

                  Le S2's is an early ABY on a "L" reg, so it had orange ones, as did mine...

                    It's a 1994 Model Reg in late 93..

                    October I think...

                    Orginal plate was VAG 1K and was a directors wife's (Audi Dealer Director, rather than a VAG director - I think) run about when new!!!

                    Tried to get full history of the car but the previous owner was very unhelpfull when i wrote to them asking for a history of the car..... Guess they thought I was going to be awkward and make a claim or summit.....

                      Famous last words. So many before you have said the same, sooner or later we give in and upgrade.
