Thanks everyone.

I'm still interested in you're recommendations for places to have the Miltek fitted and get the remap done. I know it really is a "how long is a piece of string question" but does anyone have any idea on a ball park figure?

I do like those C5 RS6 wheels as well actually, the have a nice curve to them. And I did also consider how the S8 D3 Final Edition alloys would look. I think my first choice are a set of 19" B7 RS4 wheels, I really love them in Gun Smoke, then its a tie between the other two. I cant decide how the final edition wheels off the 8 would look...

I love the heavy solid look of the C% RS6 wheels.

It's a really tough choice!

How about these?
Or is it a big NO NO with the adaptor spacers?

S5 19's could be an option ....

Offset etc will need to be considered and might limit your options ...

I think Fat Fives off the D3 really suit the B6.

I like the RS6 wheels and the fat fives from what I've seen so far.
James - MkOneMan at OBD works could probably sort you out a mill trek and fit it and also remap your car at the same time. He works either mobile or based near Oxford at his garage.

After seeing these in real life, i think I might have made my choice! Lovely wheels!!!





I think the LPG is going to be first on my list, then soon after for the remap and exhaust. I wonder if the Miltek really is the best choice for me...

Good to have you back, Elmo. The car looks great, the only mods it needs are below.

1. Milltek
2. B7 RS 4 anti roll bars (cheap and make a HUGE difference on the S4).
3. RNS E if it hasn't already
Done.

I think the current wheels suit the B6 S4, and make sure you do the sums before you splash out on LPG. Remap? I've heard of people getting decent gains with a full exhaust but wouldn't bother.

Hi Amar

thanks mate, its good to be back!

Right I will add the B7 RS 4 anti roll bar to the want list, and will aim to have that done at the same time I have the miltek and remap done

I really cant wait to get my hands on it!
I'm really looking forward to the seeing the difference between the 4.2 8s auto box and the 4's 4.2 manual
