I've seen this myself recently also at a Meet down in Cornwall, same car, same number plate, and like yourself it's made me look at 21" As they made that car look every bit the machine it was.

The guy who owns and drives this is the owner of a tuning company and deals with replacement turbo's and the likes off, spoke to him and he came across as a very down to earth guy, who's just done very well for himself.

Regards

Mark

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

That's a D4 rather than a D3 is it not?

Yes, it's just posted in the D3 thread to check that we're paying attention (which obviously you are )

21" wheels.
For an eye grabbing stance - Yay!
For a decent ride - Meh!

I would love these on my D3... I'm currently posting elsewhere to see with others who know more than I do as to whether or not these would fit on mine. I love the look if big rim on a Luxobarge.

Regards,

Mark.

There was a set of these on ebay, but the seller wouldn't reply to my messages.
