RS7 rear brake cover on RS4?

[RS4!!]

I'm redoing my brakes and will be repainting the calipers. I thought I saw somewhere but cant find it now about a RS7 cover going on our rear calipers to make them a little more visually appealing?

[Keithpul]

Yeah there is a way I remember reading you can get the rs5 cover plates from ECS but you have to drill holes into your calipers to set the cover plate into it, I also read people grinding down the pegs on the cover plate and essentially gluing it to the caliper. Hope that helps

[blubusdrvr]

Yeah, it's a cover from the Rs5 rear calipers. The thread is here.

I had that set up on my
Calipers for a while now, i got the rs7 rear caliper covers!
So I drilled two little holes on my calipers on each side the and to make even stronger i put a bit glue in it! Looks perfect

I just really want to find a write up of someone doing an R8 full caliper swap on our car, the full calipers look so pretty!

The B8 RS4 ones fit after drilling two holes into the caliper (doesn't impact caliper function at all). I have them and love them!

Good deal, that's the same Part No. as the B8 RS5 and RS7 both mentioned above, looks like they all use the same one!

Nice!

Thanks for all the help guys! I'll be powder coating mine red. My metal fabrication buddy thinks he can make a plate for next to nothing saving me some money!

Yeah, that'd be nice to save a little cabbage -- $150 for two tiny pieces of metal seems high, but #audilife

If he does, have him make an extra pair? I could use some.

I'd be interested as well. Thanks!

Once he gets mine done I can post some pics. I'll let him know that there could be interest from others... Thoughts on a design you'd like to see?

I’d be willing to bet he could source some RS decals

Edit
Can’t seem to include link. Member in the 5 forum is making them.

As far as design, however close he can get to these:

Guy in England has the rs4 avant 08 I think. He did the R8 rear calipers, looked awesome. His were powder blue.

Here are the finished rear brake caliper covers. It definitely think it gives the rear brake a bigger feel. They also look way better in person! Also just got done refinishing the rims...

Photobucket really messed everything up. But that's an entirely different thread.

Looks good.. Let me know if you ever want RS decals that match OEM.
