There is no way I'm downsizing wheels haha

They look perfect in my opinion. Not the best picture in the world

Looks nice if you plan on lowering it too, otherwise the arch gap and size of wheels would look silly.
Oem look if not.

It would definitely be lowered a touch, would look like a monster truck otherwise

I have the SLine 1.8T FSI, 58 plate, Misano red, half leather interior, 18inch alloys and a few toys like autodip rearview an side mirrors. 160bhp as standard but ive just remapped to 210bhp which has made a very good car fantastic.

Owned 6 months so far and no issues whatsoever. I part exe'd a Z4 SMG cabrio for it which was starting to show its age but have no regrets. Plenty of boot space good for 2 large cases and skis in the winter, comfortable, looks very nice when clean, absolutely no oil issues eitheer.

Looked at these myself as they were cheaper but the bhp for a 2tonne car never really inspired me, bet it goes well now with the remap though.
And a Quattro is what I wanted as its got to last me at least 5 years so think of the winter weather we may get then. And the 60/40 diff must be nice.

Anyway off to Kent tomorrow to pick it up.

When you get bored with the 2.0T swap up but keep the 20" wheels

I have ordered a Black Edition S4 in White, which should arrive in June.
Will look like this from the factory. Nice and descreet.




£1600 of remap and bigger Supercharger wheel gets you 450+ BHP and torque to match.

Looks nice. That engine is a peach stock and tuned.

What did you think of the suspension?

I have only driven the Demo, which was alright and not too harsh on potholes, or draggy on kerb lines.

Felt like plenty of grip on acceleration, but the steering didn't tighten up the more you turned in like normal. It wasn't vague, it just seemed to plateau.

No lift off understeer as you swapped directions on an empty roundabout anyway.
The sales guy got upset with me at that point.

When it turns up, mine is meant to be the replacement family runaround/train station car. So I won't be tracking it, anyway.
