coolwater's Black on Black, Quattro Premium build thread

[coolwater]

Less than 1 week old.
Got the IPOD, Bluetooth and Heated Seat options.

Looking to mod the headlights at some point.
Is that a complicated mod? The bumper has to come off correct?

Went from a 08 Passat to this. Loving it so far.


Can't seem to post photos directly.

[hoppy6698]

Grats mate. Welcome to the club :P

[Afroman]

you dont have to take off the bumper but you have to remove alot of "harnesses" strapping down the headlights first.

What ecodes did you order? From where? How much?

[coolwater]

Yes I'd like to know how where, how much and how hard it is to install.

Thanks Man.

I've been eyeing this car since last year.

Quite the upgrade from my Passat.

Can't wait to see how this handles in the winter.

Looks good man! Woohoo! :)

Can beat black man. They are a bi@tch to keep clean, but I just can't see me in any other color.

I went from a black Maxima to a black Lincoln LS to a black MDX to a black Passat to the black B8.

Guess what color my next car will be...
Maybe I'll mix it up and get Phantom Black next time. ;)

black taco?

Nice one. Looking to get a black premium quattro sports w/ ipod in the next few months.
Can anyone with a premium a4 tell me what the Driver info display shows in a premium car if anything?

[macuser]

it just tells you how many miles you have till fill up. the premium + cars can show you your speed and stuff.

You also don't have the compass. So if you tend to get lost in the woods a lot, you might miss that also. :)

Basically, you don't get the trip computer.

In actuality, the Premiums do have the trip computer installed, they are just disabled via programming. This can be turned on via use of some specialized software, e.g. VAG Com.

Finally( joking) looks great!!!!!!! now it just needs a drop and your good to go!
congrats

[coolwater]

Wheels are like trying to pick-up a chick at the bar. Not so easy to tell if she's a keeper the next morning.
I went with a safe choice.

Very happy with it.

[ThePiombino]

Looks great, bud! I didn't like the RS6 wheels until I saw them on your car!

[coolwater]

Thanks!

Yeah I am very happy with my decision. The wheels look a lot better in person and the offset put it real flush with the fender. It looks so good now that I am considering not messing with the drop. Even the black Ronal centercaps I was going to use with the TSW wheels matched perfectly. Going to 18s and wider tires gives me a little more rolling resistance, but the handling and grip seems like an improvement. I find myself not pushing my car as much now cuz I am babying the wheels. I'm sure that will wear off in a bit.

Once the honeymoon is over it's GAME ON!!! lolol

[coolwater]

Brake dust is just crazy. Only 1 day and wheels are almost gunmetal.
Need to go with some low dust pads when they are ready to be changed.

[coolwater]

Really liking my new wheels a lot.

[coolwater]

Was doing 90 today on the new setup and it really felt nice and smooth. It does take a little bit more effort to turn the steering wheel it seems. Not sure if it's the wider/heavier wheels or what. Also, new tires seems real grippy and can't seems to spin them.
Anyway was zipping around the roads upstate and had a lot of fun.

Looks nice, miss those wheels from our old 09 with the 10 having the 7 dual spoke wheels. Still getting use to them. Yours are a bitch to clean though so pick up some of that Armor all wheel protect stuff I've been reading about, will be doing that soon myself...

[coolwater]

New Suspension is on and settled.
Yes that's me parking in the last spot in the shopping center.
Plenty of space btwn me and the next guy. ;)

Looks great!

[coolwater]

Thanks man. Lovin' the ride everyday.
Makes my daily commute very very enjoyable.

[LI Audi]

I think it looks great aesthetically it certainly is better than the stock non sport suspension.. glad it all worked out for you

[coolwater]

Thanks. So far so good.
Good luck with your setup.

[coolwater]

My front end is officially done.

[nick71692]

Looking good, with a drop you will be sitting pretty

[MrPerfect]

Where'd you get the Gloss Fog Grills? I did the same S-Line grill for my front, I like the match up.

[coolwater]

I used black gloss roof vinyl.
I'll have to see how it holds up. I guess the torrential rain will test it out.
Got it from Stickercity.com.
