    Purchased RS rear caliper covers - painted them - installed on S6

    Ever since I had my front calipers removed and powder coated red I was conscious about my rear pads being black and different from my fronts. I didn't want to just paint them because I thought they would look a little cheesy. I thought Audi did a decent job on the RS7 to install a plate with a logo and at least attempt to improve the look of the rears. So I bought the rear covers from ECS and set out to install them on my S6. The covers come with some posts cast into the aluminum and I was either going to dremmel them off or drill into the calipers. I chose the latter. It wasn't hard to do, but I made a template of the covers to accurately mark the holes on the calipers. Drilled a pilot hole, them drilled the correct size hole. I use a two part metal epoxy for the adhesion. 24 hours after the glue cured they are on there for life. I painted over the black covers with RS logo to match the red caliper paint and applied S6 decals I purchased from an eBay vendor from Italy.

    See pics below, I think they look pretty nice.

    Thanks man. No problem, I'll wash her up tonight and take a few shots. Not overly proud of my dirty barrels in the pics above.

    Nice job, I painted my front calipers only because the stock rears bother me. Do you have the part number for the covers?

    Got them from ECS. You have to order two as they are sold separately. Not cheap :(
