The final edition wheels could look good, here is a photo of them on a B5 RS 4. The RS 2 is the B4 (RS4) essentially, so I'd imagine it is a little smaller then the B5. The B5 just about gets away with final edition 20" wheels, some would argue they look too big though. I would personally be looking at Porsche 997 Carrera S alloys, in 19".

I'd be looking at Porsche rims myself - mate had a vw van for work and put cayenne rims on it as theyre the right offset for that application. If they would work size wise I think they'd look ace and keep the Porsche link to the rs2
20s will be too big on an rs2 - I can see them being a struggle to find tyres to get the rolling radius you need going up from standard All IMHO of course lol Wish I faced a dilemma like that!!

Matt grey could work.. how dark though? Something quite dark would probably work better.

I've heard bad things about wraps not coming off very cleanly, lifting paint etc. Problem could be worsened on an older car with older paint ?
Just a thought, you crack on either way. I'm sure it'll look good...

Like all your planned mods, except the wrap, they never look right, always look cheap and nasty IMO, and apparently can't be polished (?) |

I wonder, if I had it in with the same company that origanlly did the wrap and the paint lifted when they went to replace lt, I wonder if that would be down to the company doing the wrap to put right....? I like the though of having a different colour every few years without having to folk out for a whole new paint job! So.... thoughts on uprating the Audi with steering wheel controld on an Audi steering wheel?

Been looking at that pic and I think I might agree... 20" are to big for that motor. Maybe 18"?
