No DPF = one less thing to go wrong and higher MPG, but also means your white valance won't stay white long!
At my MOT last weekend I got a printout for the smoke test, the result was 0.00

If it's not a flipping S8, don't put a flipping S8 badge on it!!
W**ker move IMHO (I know you didn't fit it). Trying to pretend it's something it's not... Put a Quattro badge on it! Personalisation is fine and I like the black roof. Suspension too looks good, but it's a personal choice and comfort and function will win over looks as you mature

Little rant, no offence to Roberto.
(He wanted honest opinions )It's a bug bear of mine. Loads of kids down here dress up V6 Commodores to look like HSV's (think Vauxhall VRX), to the point of putting HSV badges in place of the Holden ones and even the HSV model badges. Just seems silly to me.

Brilliant scheme you've inspired me to research... 1) Buy used '8 (e.g., $13,000 for a spotless low mileage pre-FSI car) 2) Fix the usual 3) Sell it. ($15,000) 4) Keep in touch with new owner until he gets estimate from Audi $tealer Service Dep't (few other shops around here will touch these cars) because it needs a brake job ($3K) / "alignment" ($2K+tires) / MIL comes on ($1k-$20K). 5) Buy it back for sell price less cost miles driven and amount of repair quote. 6) Repeat, doubling your money every time. I'm not that cruel. Well, maybe. On to the important stuff, MHO on the "Modz" (sic) Black roof on white car looks great. Probably better than on a black car, even!  How small is the guy's schlong that he needed to put those exhaust tips on there? My Gawd. "Next stop, Overcompensation Station!"! I see no reason to raise it but I'd keep it on "Comfort" most times. "S" badges must never be mounted on anything without an "S" from the factory or equivalent modifications. Poseurville. The S trunklid and lights are fine and look great. Debadging looks spot-on Very nice car, and entertaining history. I have a friend who has had a similar recurrent relationship since college (we're 52) with his ex-wife, now GF. Difference is, your car is not a well-worn slut. PS, Ha, I can't say I like my steak so rare it's bloody, but "Well-worn slut" is fine! (Not that either is that profane. I had no Idea the Bloody word was so offensive, so I learned something today)! -Tom
