Default Starting the break-in Saturday...

picking-up a silver/silver RS4 fitted with dedciated 18" winter wheels/Dunlop tires, splash gaurds and stone guard. The high performance OEM tires and wheeels go back on come spring. Did I mention fresh V1 and floormats, too?

High time to have a car like this where you can let out the shaft from time to time!

A dream coming true!

be careful when you 'let out the shaft'....that sounds illegal.

Default Mine have been on for 3+ years without any issues. BUT

they do not give total protection. I would recommend putting a piece of ClearBra or similar in the small rocker panel corner just in front of the rear wheels. It seems that this panel gets especially stone chipped. Same panel and same problem occurred with my previous A6.

Default I like mine, no issues with snow, no chips at all in 50k of hard driving

Worth it in my opinion
(any marks you see in these pics are just reflections off the road)
The flaps keep the car clean longer also.

Default Yeah, but these don't look like they would fit on the RS4.....

with the flaired lower body side sills. Is there an RS4 version?
