I personally don't think it needs a Milltek - the black tail pipes look awesome

The C6 wheels do look nice on them, but the factory wheels really suit it too.

Firstly Congrats on the New addition Amar.....

That is one stunning vehicle..... I def want one in my Garage but they are very scarce.....

If you aren't aware of it yet ....... the Black Exhaust was a limited edition and has some extra Go Fast Goodies etc.... It is not your standard RS6 Avant...

I'm keeping the wheels factory, you can get the Milltek in black to, which is what I'd do if I got one, but as Iyole said. The plus comes with a sports exhuast out the factory so is louder then your average RS 6 anyway. Here's a plus with a black Milltek.



& whilst were talking about wheels, here's a plus like mine on D2 final editions.

There's something about that pic that doesn't look right - think the wheels either need to be a darker finish, or they just don't suit it.

Love the factory ones on the Plus

Very nice car Amar
just a thought, go for some 18" wheels for better acceleration, those 20's must weigh a ton.

Guys, I'm not changing the wheels. These are my planned to dos:

1. Voice activation for RNS E
2. Smaller aerial on the back
3. RS 6 RNSE start up screen
4. Genuine Audi aero wipers from the Allroad
5. Sort out minor bodywork/wheels refurbished/stone chips touched in
5. Correction detail
7. Plus numberplate
8. Warranty

I want to get it up to a really really high standard of OEMness. It had brakes last year (£1,000) just for front discs and pads, phew. Glad I wasn't paying that bill, but the cambelt is a grand at least and thats being done as soon as I can get an appointment.
I've paid for the car now, it's 110% mine. Pick her up at 6:30 PM tomorrow, so I expect to get home around 11PM (if I don't have to stop for fuel again)
