well the front grille looks much better in the flesh...but you are right i am going to be replacing it with a badgless grille of some sort

[veeDuB_Rado 0]

A lot of people say that its better in the flesh actually!

 

Same with mine, looks great front on, but at angles it looks wierd

You're sending it for a stage 4 rebuild :?:

 

Can't quite tell from the pics but looks like it's already had some work done so might only need a rebuild.... No point in wasting you're cash....

Looks very nice (apart from the grille), is the petrol flap a different colour or is it just the light. Like the RS5's, they suit the colour. Not sure about the steering wheel either.

[Bobert healetty 0]

the steering wheel just has some leather cover over it i will be replacing that along with the grille....the petrol door is just carbon fiber so yes it is a different color

 

 

 

i have no idea if the supercharger has had work done...so maybe i will just get the standard rebuild?

update...

 

the supercharger has previously had a stage 4 rebuild...the only problem with the charger was one of the oil seals on the displacer was never replaced when it was last rebuilt...but i will rebuild the whole thing anyways..i cleaned the entire charger with brake cleaner once i got the displacer off etc and the thing is shiny as a mother * looks like lots of porting has been done etc.. everything is in mint condition...no knicks chips, scratches etc other then all the little circles etched in from the displacer it looks brand new...the only thing that sucks is i have to get a hold of a press somehow to get the bearings out...and i also cant get one of the keys off to take the main rod out...the biggest key is stuck on i tried pliers, vice grips, screw drivers etc the thing wont budge..the other two keys came out very easily...i was thinking on just replacing the one oil seal on the displacer (cause thats the only thing wrong with it and the only thing leaking oil) but i guess since i already have the rebuild kit i may as well just rebuild the whole thing...
