    New owner of a Papaya Orange RS4...few questions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    This color is nuts. People are constantly stopping me at lights, gas stations, snapping pics on the highway! I new the color was nice but didn't expect all this. Amazing car.

    I have a few questions: I know that this has been somewhat discussed before but I could not help going past the "Audi recommended" break-in policy with the RPMs for the first few days since pick-up. Only violated a handful of times (prob like 10). Can you blame me? Haven't done it since and car now has 525 miles. What's the worst that can happen??

    Also, I am probably being overly cautious and paranoid but when I park and turn off the engine I hear a distinct short 0.5 second rattle (seems like its coming from the back i think). Anyone else get this or know what it is?

    Finally, other than a Vorsteiner hood does any tuning company make body/aero parts for these. I really think the car needs a simple front lip but am having trouble finding anything. Anyone got some suggestions for companies or parts?

    Thanks
    Mark

    Congrats. I always wondered how it would be to own a car that flashy. Anyway's, driving the car hard when new, imo, is good for it. I don't think that you did any harm to it. I would however, change out the oil at 1000 miles. It's an old school habit.

    MTM makes a hood for the RS4, which looks wayy better (IMO) than the v-steiner. But no one has touched the design of the RS4's body.

    Congrats on the car! GET SOME PICTURES NOW!

    Re: New owner of a Papaya Orange RS4...few questions

    ^^ It was only a matter of time. Just because you got an orange RS4 doesn't mean that you can come on here and tell us that you got a new car and not show us some pics. Now toss up some pics and it really doesn't matter if the car is a little bit dirty. Well maybe it does. Clean that ride up and snap some shots. I can't wait to see this thing. That car probably gets as much attention as a Gallardo.

    looks awesome! That color is great, and the Ti pkg sets it off nicely.

    Just need to replace that filler panel

    There aren't that many cars that can pull off a color like that. The RS4 can do it, barely. Lambos can do it easily.

    I love it!
