    ****in dirty cnuts!!!! Sorry to hear that! Even more sorry as i'm from Limerick, and can't stand hearing stories like this! Were there any other signs of vandalism with other cars around yours? Or was the S6 the only hit?

    Fella in a 01 Passat TDI kinda maroon colour had his spoiler ripped off, well half it anyway. Roxboro Gardai were called took our details and they're goin to check out the CCTV tomorrow and let us know if they find anything. Hard to tell if our cars were even covered they were parked in the area in front of the Omniplex but nowhere near each other. Mine was half way up the farthest row from the door, his was closer to the building but nearer the far end of the first or second row.

    Luckily there is no other damage to either car. Hopefully will just have to get new mounts as the mirrors are other wise intact, not sure really ill get local body shop to have a look tomorrow. ****in Aluminium is scratched though so dunno how i'm gonna fix that.

    What a bunch of ****ing *****. Begrudgers. This sickens me. The brother parked his car in town recently for an hour, his arial was ripped off and his wind visors as well. Hopefully it doesn't cost too much to get sorted.

    Welcome to the world of not being able to leave your car anywhere.

    So anyway i got the mirrors fixed. Bought some second hand plastic ones and used the mounts for my own. 90 quid plus a few hours stripping and reassambling the mirrors. Did it myself.

    So now i feel i need to give her a pick me up. Opinions...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-S6-4-2-quattro-MILLTEK-EXHAUST-FULL_W0QQitemZ270320135273QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item270320135273&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

    Look into an OEM RS6 exhaust. Big, loud and very cheap as the owner is just left with it from their own upgrade. I fitted one to our allroad (2.7t), its a popular mod with C5 Audi owners.

    Nice oval chrome tips too.

    ....sorry, but 5-6k is it, really. You can buy/import an S8 for about 5 now.

    Hey Dangermus. Good luck with the sale. Just an idea: seeing as you've VRTed it, put the Irish reg on the pics - the UK plates will put a lot of people off.

    More pics of the outside. Clean the wheels. Take out the "RS" bit, just leave it to S.

    Put in "Will do straight swap for Vw Golf" as well:P

    Good luck with the sale, pity tbh.

    So DanGerMus, you've eventually figured out why there were so many owners......care to tell why?? ;)

    Seriously though, Good luck with the sale. I'd put up more pics if you have them, use the 9 you're allowed.

    PS I'll swap you the Ibiza for it ;)

    Sweet car, nice price, if it was a year ago I would have been very interested. I would take some pictures of the interior with steering wheel and dash too.

    Nah man car is perfect. Im just covering my ass if things go tits up in work. Which to be honest if it does even happen won't be for months.
    I know it could take a while to sell it so starting early.

    I'll consider trades lafors but i'd want a few grand on top of what ever is offered to me depending on what it is of course.

    Tipsy sure whats changed in a year? You want a look. Or did you find something. It is priced very well i think. I'll get more pics up soon so thanks lads.
