What did you do to your A6 today?

[Kes Twin Turbo]

unmasked

still have to black out the wheels, badges, mirrors and trim

Looks great man. Are those OEM S6 LED DRLs?

[patrick23]

Thanks Yes they are oem s6 drls

[audifirst]

looking at dipyourcar is the military green the same as camo green or green ?

[OGBULLYLOCDAWG]

I'm wondering what needs servicing in 600 miles? LCD displays that every time I shift out of park

That would be around 107,500mi on the motor, and I don't see anything listed under the maintenance intervals.

Did my timing belt service @ 97k already, so if it's that.. cool

firstly the green I used is a custom color I made

and the stock green and camo green are very different

Just preset intervals, if you have VCDS you can reset them

Dude... that looks freaking great for an outside paint job! Was it rattlecan?

2-lane Highway + Tire blowing out doing about 75mph + spare tire also being flat = A LONG ASS DAY

God bless AAA.

Hey patrick how much more is it to get a custom color ? I would love to do my factory color in a matte finish.

[NickyAsixx3sixx]

Put my Elite Motorsports plate frame on it hahaha

no it was with a gun - came out flawless though
I had a fly land on it at one point lol but no dust or imperfections same result as spraying in my garage

ah i have the Canadian formulated plasti dip it's much more than the us version

you are better off getting it from fonzie but he doesn't make custom anymore

[NickyAsixx3sixx]

Finally got all my interior LEDs to work! looks awesomeeee

You could also just spray the clear plasti-dip over your stock color, giving it a matte look/finish. I did my front and back Audi rings with the clear to make them look like matte/satin silver, came out great. When I did the rear one, had to spray some on my paint around the rings and it actually looked pretty cool, was wondering how a whole car would look sprayed with the clear. Just an idea.

Maybe I'll pick up a can of clear and try it on one of the panels to see what look i get.

You have nothing until it's done. Ha... Stop studying and get the car dipped son....

[Widebody4.2]

Patrick that color looks amazing great work

[Gumby]

drove it for the first time in three weeks yesterday....

[lawdogg]

Tossed on H&R coilovers today and drove it for the first time in a year, was fantastic BUT: Flat spots on tires FTL. Also now have a clunking up front on both sides when I hit bumps that I can't figure out.

[NickyAsixx3sixx]

Ordered a custom plate for the A6 today niceeeeeeeeeeee

[lawdogg]

Cleaned up my engine bay plastics and realized I need a new N75

How can you tell/check if you need a new N75? I'm not throwing any codes for the n75 but am overboosting and trying to find the culprit.

[DJPoochi]

I restored my headlights...

Before


After

I am overboosting too, on the stock tune, it hits 15psi briefly then cuts down 7-10. It feels like a stutter or hesitation; without using a boost gauge, at first I thought it must be one or both of the DVs. But I did some searching on the forums and I'm pretty sure all signs point to N75.

[Calimus]

Did an oil change and put the belly pan back on for the first time in over a year since I finally got new belly pan screws. Thinking about restoring the headlights as it's been over a year since I last did it and they are starting to fog up again.

William baby!!! Long time no speak, how ya been? Great I hope... Listen, I purchased this kit because I was bummed I couldn't find the 3M kit. Let me tell you, this is Better than the 3M Kit.. I did both headlights and man they came out looking better than new. As you can see, it is made by Meguiar's but be sure to get the "Heavy Duty" Kit...

PS: Found it at Wally World for $24.99

Sergio, I'll have to give that a try next time. What I generally use it the 3M kit. After that, I follow up with the PlastiX polish even after I've used the 3M polish. Here's a quick pic of how it turned out.

They came out looking AWESOME!! .. Yeah the kit I used also comes with PlastiX and Polish, with 2 different grit pads.

[gbjoshe]

do you have a front view of those lights? i like how you painted the outside black and not the inside around the bulbs!

[Calimus]

I just sifted through some pics I have of the car and I sure don't have a pic of an up close front view. However, I can certainly resolve that issues today for you. And thanks. Wish I could take credit, but the PO of the car did that when they did the clear corner mod. I've been a fan of it and most folks don't ever notice it so that's a sharp eye you have there.

Saturday, I plati dipped the rear rings, plate tub, lower valence, door blades, and pulled the caron fiber fabric off the interior trim and started dipping those black too. Waiting on my cans of camo tan and gold metallizer, no pics yet, going to wait until it's done. Probably going to test out the camo tan on the trunk to begin with and see if I like it.

So you do like the finished look! I might be doing this real soon then

[Calimus]

I like it yea. I wasn't able to get a pic yesterday due to rain. Should be able to get one today.

Would like to see this as well... thinking of doing something like upainted lowers ( painting everything below the door blades and blades) not sure what to do with the front but the back I would just paint the valance on my a6 using flat back plastidip

[Hambone101]

My stock 4.2 blades were pretty deteriorated, picked up some s6 blades 2 years ago. Liked the unpainted look but it was a little too far off from the matte black I was doing on the trim and roof, so I painted the blades and valence to even things out. I have a can of tan coming that I'm going to try out on the trunk first, then see how it looks and if I like it the whole car is getting done.
