Default Now here's something (D2 related!) you don't see every day!

Popped down to see David (DJS on here) at DS Autowerks at lunchtime to find barzya8's newly acquired FE outside waiting for a few jobs to be done



I think that's pretty much a first for me, parking next to another Avus S8 with the contrasting red leather!

barzya8's car was the ebay one recently bought with RSE needing some minor tidying. It looks really decent in the metal and once the wheels have been refurbished it'll look very smart

Not sure that David (this is getting confusing as they're both David!) realises he's managed to buy one with a Milltek fitted?!

Mine's going in on Friday for a new front ABS sensor

That a nice looking pair!
I am not sure that the body coloured underbumper trim along with the small foil on the boot lid doesnt make the one on the left look like its got a bigger rear end though.

Which is quite funny as mine's running bolt on spacers on the back so has that proper wide-arse look down to a T!

I didn't really notice the painted lowers in the flesh, although picked it up in the ebay advert.

I quite like the little spoiler having seen it on an Avus now

I couldn't quite nail down what it was until now but yes, the painted lower bumper does have quite a visual impact. The one on the right does look much lower and wider, just like mine I was thinking about a spoiler but I think I'll leave it now.

As far as I know both are on standard suspension, so might be just the angle I've taken the picture from!

Rear number plate needs squaring up before anything else

I believe it was only collected in recent days, so sure it's on the list. From memory David said he was transferring his plate off his PF to go on this one so probably not a priority for the short term!

Yeah that made my OCD teeth itch too. Personally I would remove the spoiler, and return the under bumper panels to original
