B7 RS4 Euro v. US spec
Hi.
I am about to run down to the dealership and order the sexy beast...
What I noticed from looking around the internet was... there are lot of differences between the euro spec and the US spec B7 RS4 most notably... the steering, round air vent, seats. What are some other differences and are there Euro spec parts available in US so I can exchange parts if I want to?
Lastly. Is there any way to change the trims around the grill and around the window... maybe to carbon fiber or to chrome?
appreciate your help guys.

RE: B7 RS4 Euro v. US spec
a few come to mind with the North American (NA) version vs. Euro...
- Euro seats are lighter but less comfortable (NA better)
- Euro Start button w/ no cup holders but still require the key, adding an addition step to start the car (NA better)
- Euro steering wheel looks cool but you give up some nice steering wheel button (wash)
- Euro front bumper cover has no orange corner reflectors and longer vertical vents (Euro wins)
- FSI fuel delivery mode is different at lower rpm (wash)
- wheels (NA 19" wins summer, Euro 18" would make better winter setup)
- some additional options on the Euro - such as a lower suspension
Cheers!
