Indeed it's not the angle. The fabricators brief was to match the difference between the B5 A4 and RS4 on an A8. He did an excellent job on the arches, a better job on front and rear bumpers but not so good on the sills. Projekt AnA has been stagnant for 9 years. But next year Rodney we will be..........

Oh yes... Marbling my tyres, toasting my brakes and whispering past like an 8 does

Just looked back at the ADI 2010 report thread. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2205 That takes me back to a happy time.

It’s a brave man that attempts to improve the body of an 8 but I applaud you on a successful mission

The colour is great and the arches work very, very well in my opinion. After a nine year hibernation I bet your itching to get Ana back up and running.

Hehe indeed and I can remember Mike arriving at the Crown Car Park (the nearby pub we used to meet at for the BBB) with something (steam / smoke) pouring out of Projekt AnA, which is why it didnt go on the track
