They all seem to have the oddly large bonnet gap, a quick Google confirms. It was more the front wing / bumper join that struck me.

First decent pic from the internets I could find:

I thought the bonnet wasn't latched shut, but it wouldn't line up with the wings if it sat lower.

A mate of mine used to own a B7 RS4 and was aghast that I hadn't fitted spacers to mine to get the wheels flush in the arches.

Is he right? It would make it sit so nicely.

My M3 has spacers - it does look a million times better for it.

My favourite part of the Audi is the awesome arch / rim combo. It really would look better with spacers, wouldn't it.

But then I'd be buying spacers at the age of 44 :cry:

Pretend they improve the handling and buy them to keep the sprog safe.

Woah hang on there - I can buy crap I don't need if I mentally self-sell it as being safety-related?

This changes everything!

Thanks Marv - it's so out-dated and old-school nowadays that it suits me more and more.

Welcome to fatherhood. Short of stockpiling nuclear weapons you can justify any purchase with some spurious argument about sprog safety/health and wellbeing/mental and physical development. If challenged there is *always* a supporting post/article to be found online.

For what it’s worth JL, I think your car looks brilliant! 8-)

No-one would say it has anything near 200k + km on it.

Would definitely look better with some spacers.

And about 15mm lower....

Google the price of RS4 shocks mate - i had four new ones last year. They ain't getting changed any time soon! :lol:

Spacers - yeah it's probably going to happen, isn't it.

Minor update that will please SundayJumper - I finally pulled my finger out and ordered a BMW code thingy. Vape shop owner mate has one, but he's having some personal and car problems, so don't want to be disturbing him too much ATM.

£20 is fine too - I used to not even quibble about putting that much on takeaway :oops: think this is a better spend.
