either colour code the lower bumpers and front end.

or to get some 17" rs4 alloys.

both are about 200.

and i only have 200 atm lol

17s will not make it higher unless you get the wrong profile tyre.

Not sure to be honest mate. Know I wanna change tho - Might just keep the A8 reps for winter as I won't get much for them. Fancy a cheeky bit of dish next. Or mabee merc rims. 8)

Any Suggestions Fellas?? I'd like to get a few opinions.
