Personally, not for me. But there's nothing wrong with you going for it, if it's what you want.

Words cannot describe how awful that looks. I need to wash my eyes. There is everything wrong with you going for it Ranj, Nollywood is just being polite. Even on that concept BMW in mission impossible I thought it ruined an otherwise funky looking car. Upgrade your sidelights and numberplate bulbs to LEDs at the very most, and your S4 anti roll bars to RS4 ones, like I said, the mod every B6 S4 owner is raving about and cheap too.
This was my reaction when I saw that thing you posted.

I rarely comment on this type of thread, but that is beyond tacky!

Seems popular enough Ranj, go for it. I reckon it would look better on Amar's RS as thats a bit more chavvy

So, in summary, yes, go for it, but dont be seen dead with it actually on your car then....

I got to side with Amars subtle comments on this one, its not really an executive class mod, more a chavvy saxo thing...

I'm afraid it doesn't do it for me either, but I'm not the 'taste police', but it'd be boring if there was such an entity & we were all the same, or were forced to have the same..... a very khaki world with no individualism....... (ok that's a little extreme)

Default well that confirms it...

I have never had such a positive negative response.

That probably explains why there was a company in germany supplying them, but has now stopped.

LOL....

cheers guys thats one less mod I need to worry about....
