Carbon Fiber

[IulianUM]

This is the new Carbon Fiber Hood on my Rs4 .:rs4addict
Hey , if the R8 can have CF inlets , why the Rs4 can´t have CF outlets .:cool2:

This is the MTM one with air outlets , highest quality , neddless to say that I like it . ;)

Congratulations!!I am thinking to do the same but without the air vents.I do not like them.It is like Mitsubishi Evo,Ford Sierra or something like this.What about the difference in noise?Who made the paintjob?Was it ready?Did you see any difference with the oil or water temperature?Do you know if is there any risk when the engine is running and it is raining?Thank you in advance..

Damn it looks good, those air vents really give an agressive look.

Thanks , obviusly I like it , the vents are not that dark , I like the high contrast pictures as you can see . It looks stunning in the flesh , much better than in my pics .
When I saw the new Aston Martin and Jaguar and saw their air vents , I thought , If James Bond likes it .... but this is a matter of taste .:cool2:

Gone for the car at lunch time , so I had no time but for a quick test . It is fun to see heat waves over your hood exiting from the outlets when you stops for a red light , so it should work . When you drive at some speed the temperature decreases that´s for sure , but how much is too soon for me to tell you .
Everything needed was sent by MTM to my Audi workshop (no MTM in Spain) , they installed it in less than four hours .
The paintjob was done superbly by MTM too , seems that they took it to Audi to paint it , perfect job . It is unbelievable lifting the CF hood with one hand and without any effort . The mechanics told me that the stock hood wheights a lot more (more than 15 kg.) . I can tell you that the CF outlets were covered with fingerprints of everybody in the workshop that wanted to "see" them close .;)

I asked something similar to Frederic about the water , no problemo . Frederic was very helpfull all the time , from the begining , so ask him all your technical questions . Thank you very much Frederic .:thumb:

Next the catalists and exhausts . :mech:

A few more pics , the quality is not the best , compressing in JPEG is not good when you look for a noisy pic style .:blush:

Thanks very much for the compliments.
Regarding the water, you only need to cover the vents when you are washing the car.
For the temperature, yes it will definitely help. Look at the Ferrari Fiorano, Aston Martin, Jaguar.

Cheers,

Nice pic's man.... how much does it cost??

[IulianUM]

Actually I don´t remember the cost , cally , but it worth every Euro that I payed for it . The hood works better than I expected .:)

I am having a lot of work lately , almost have no time to drive it :cry: , f1esp , take care of the radars on the highway . :rs4addict

[RSX]

The cost is 5.150 EUR + the cost to paint it.

[Erik]

It looks GREAT! But the price is a bit steep...

I can't argue with that. The quality is superb though.

It is GREAT!!! :applause:


But who knows something about carbon boot for RS4 from MTM?
You can see it on the pictures of RS4 K540 MTM and it is very Beautiful, but there is no carbon hood in the MTM’s price list!!! Who knows is it possible to order it from them and how much will it cost?
I will deffenetly install the hood on my future RS4, but I like it more with two stripes painted on the side in car color.

I will be very happy to help you. Please send me an email at: mtmfrance@yahoo.fr

cheers from Paris,
Frederic

[Arslanoff]

Thank for cooperation to Frederic.
Guys, what about the air vents on the hood. Lets say it is raining heavily or you wash your car with high pressure pump and water enters inside the hood through vents. It will be dirty all the time, but that's not a problem. Could it be dangerous for hot engine then?

[Mr Balsen]

bonjour,

Arslanoff, You are very welcome.

The recommendation from MTM is to cover the air vent when you are washing the car. Nothing particular about raining.

Cheers,
Frederic

Good Lord that's hot

[MrBucket]

Do you have to worry about the hood latch failing and the hood flipping up onto the windshield and roof? I know this is a common problem with carbon hoods. Have you considered getting hood pins to prevent this?

[AudiSuperDriver]

great job man:)
