There's a special lifeshire maintainance pack you need to apply every so often.

I wouldn't bother to be honest, you can get a better looking finish for less.

Post by: matsu on 27 February 2009, 20:44: yep thats the sorta response i expected.

Post by: ifti on 28 February 2009, 15:27: AlanD - how about you take me out for a drive in your RS4??!!!!! lol
Title: Re: yeeeeeeeeeehah!!
Post by: AlanD on 28 February 2009, 17:38: lol ! I wish I had one. I did an advance driving course in one and its just a breath taking piece of machinery.
Title: Re: yeeeeeeeeeehah!!
Post by: ifti on 28 February 2009, 17:52: Sorry I thought you had one!
I would love to get in a RS4 - even as a passenger!
Title: Re: yeeeeeeeeeehah!!
Post by: Teutonic_Tamer on 02 March 2009, 15:36: Well, luckily, I have both a GTI and an RS4 - and they are both awesome in their own rights. The GTI is more nimble than the RS4, but I reckon the RS4 has far better on the limit grip than the GTI.
