Prince nearly got banned for suggesting it was a Volvo invention. They did have the daytime lights on but they were not the nice LEDS so I suppose Audi have made it much betterer.

Audi copied it off the lorries.. I'm sick of seeing them and what's with Audis having really really bright headlights pissing annoying when you have to get up at 5am to drive to work and some bell in an Audi comes behind/past you with silly-bright lights.
Yes I'm in a ranting mood today lolz!!!111!!1!!!!!1.

why ? you can have the carbon any colour you want. it paints just the same or the colour can be added to the weave

| Re: Carbon fibre wheels - next big thing
it's a gold/yellow colour because it has Kevlar woven into it as well, which makes it a lot stronger than carbon alone
as demonstrated by my glamorous assistant B07 - Brake Protector.jpg
I've not seen any other coloured CF before either other than painted
