I see you figured out your dilema of whether or not the B7 has the same lug pattern. [;)] Looks awesome. I see the B6 door flares fit too. Nice.

At least you can use your BBS's! Looks so hot in black!

The B7 avant is growing on me. Looks very good in certain colors like black. So you still have your Oettinger Bumper from your B6?

Damn, Don. You're worse than me with the new cars every few years! You are my idol! [hail]
So you still have the B6 also!?
The B7 is indeed an improvement over the B6, with that amazing 2.0T and FSI. They do have the same bolt pattern, but I believe the offset is slightly different between the two cars. Looks great with the BBS on. The ride height actually doesn't look bad for a B7.
I see you put on unpainted S4 sides...now you just need to get a front plate delete. Will really clean up the front end.

sweet jesus that's beautiful!!! the offset on the b7 are the same as the B6 it's the newer MkV chassis that are running the weirder offsets
Great job on that [:D] car looks great...i bet you can use your existing suspension from your b6

I think it's just the tips (mufflers look like stock).
But it looks NICE! I want one.

Umm im sorry. I dont think ull be doing to bad with the new avant cuz its sick!
Whoa!!!!!!! Nice job.
So from what I see here, the B6 S4 Door flares fit, the lug patterns are the same and If I am not mistaken, that pic looks like the B6 exhaust might fit. How cool would that be
If that is the case, I may take a drive at lunch....

Are the seats the same as the B6?

First off, thanks[az]
The exhaust just has tips. Waiting to put on the Eisenmann exhaust over the summer.
The seats are the same, except have front and rear heaters.
Plate delete grill is on order. Haven't decided if I want the ABT or Oettinger grill.
The wheels fit, sort of. I am running spacers, but we may have figured out a way to clear the calipers. More to follow.
I am planning on doing the Stasis street coilovers, first, then Eisenmann exhaust.
The car is a definate step up from the B6. The new motor is amazing as is the new 6 speed tiptronic. Feels as strong as my old 1.8t with APR stage 1+. It feels alot more solid than my B6. The headlights are very cool. You can actually see them turning when you go around a corner. The nav works great. The new brakes are beautiful. Overall, I am very happy.

please eloborate on the wheel/spacer thing you mentioned. Last i heard the offsets shouldnt have changed much...and those CH's clear a lot of BBK's out there.

Turns out that the wheels fit perfectly without any mods. When I talked to the Tire Rack, they said that the wheels would not clear the new calipers, but it turns out that they do. The track is a little narrower on the new car (by 4mm) but they fit perfectly. I am not sure how low I will be able to go due to the new clips on the underside of the front fenders, but we will see when Stasis comes out with a suspension for it.

plate delete grill and / or a grill without the weird bar across it could make that grill look super mean and actually better than the old ones.
I like the tails on the avant. that nav looks insane.
super nice car!!!
The plate delete grill will be here on Wednesday. I am going to have it painted brilliant black to match the rest of the car and I think I will color match the chrome part as well and just leave the rings chrome.
I have only seen a photoshop of the Oettinger grill, but it looks good, very much like the ABT.

I think having the rings done in black (front and back) would looks super stealthy!!
