The ****iest bodykit I have seen in a long time, crappy replica wheels, illegal number plates and a general air of skanger from it.

Awful looking but worth the money if there's enough nct on it.

Nct till Jan 13

Yeah, sure even if it calves after a few months some eejit will buy the wheels off you

alanhiggyno1

New cat coverter pads and serviced.has receipts to prove it too.also wheels are nice.so shud I go after it

colm_mcm

Yes go and buy it.

alanhiggyno1

Really is it a gd deal so

colm_mcm

If you're into that sort of yoke.

Beware of it being ragged though, don't let the heart rule the head.

If you took off that hideous body kit it might be worth a punt. Selling the RS6 replica wheels would probably recoup a fair share of that asking price too.

BTW can you actually run a 1.6 litre A4 ragged?

alanhiggyno1

Is the kit really that bad lads..

If you like it does it matter what anyone else thinks?
If the car is mechanically sound it's not bad for €700, the bodykit wouldn't appeal to many people admittedly.

Wud u buy roverjames .ur honest opinion wud help

If it test drove ok, was straight and had nothing wrong with it than if I didn't mind the bodykit and was after an A4 I think I would. It looks clean inside and the outside it straight enough in the pics, the wheels are a bit scuffed but that's to be expected. As mentioned by someone above you'd get a couple of hundred for the wheels easy.

Now without looking at the car and having a poke around I can't tell if it's a sh1t car or not but if it checks out I'd defo see it as €700 not badly spent of you like it

alanhiggyno1

Cheers havnt decided yet to buy.wud there be good poke from 1.6 do u reckon or wud it be under powered

alanhiggyno1

Wud there b gud poke from engine or underpowered for a 1.6

The bodykit adds about 15bhp to the engine so it shouldn't be too bad.












*Plainly I'm not being serious, if you are looking for poke I would advise something else other than a basic engine A4.

Please, please do not use text speak, it is the work of the devil.

To answer your question after I've spent time and effort understanding it, I'd imagine any A4 would be underpowered with a 1.6 engine, they are not and never were the lightest of cars.

What is it you are looking for in a car?

That body kit is horrific.

If you like it and it checks out ok buy it. You cant go wrong for 700. If it conks out next week you will sell the wheels and tyres for 250-300 plus a few other bits will make up the price of the car. The body kit is not the worst the wheels just dont suit it imo. Then again I hate them wheels on anything!

Audis are generally classy, that body kit negates that. Bodykits suggest sporty, the 1.6 negates that. Some people will point and laugh at you, another class of person would delight in keying it.

If none of that bothers you and it is mechanically sound then why not.

If you are between the age of 17-22 this is the car for you.

its a head turner alrite, for all the wrong reasons. In fairness if i seen that on the road me and my mates would laugh at it. Sorry!
