[Vinchenzo51]

Huge thanks to Agron (AMC) for his help throughout this process. Hopefully this Tuesday we can get the brakes and clutch bled and get this baby back on the road again! Few odds and ends need finishing... install coils, install stud kit, install SS brake lines, install black badges, finish carbon trim, then CLEAN THIS THING! Im sure theres 100 other things i'm forgetting... but for now, this is all I care about.

[Turbwhistle]

Can not wait until its done so you can drive us around again. Are you going to finish tomorrow?

[Vinchenzo51]

Got bored last night and made my car a little website to show her off.

S6 door blades are on . Gotta wait for a nice day for some new pics.

And yup garage is going in for renovations. Turb is gonna build me a nice workbench with some cabinets going the length of my garage. Should leave me enough room to work some more lol. Next up is to finish my headlight project (FINALLY) with custom projectors and custom cutoffs and a bunch of other goodies.

Heres a teaser shot (without the new doorblades of course)

[Turbwhistle]

Time to go into spy mode. ;)

SEX

[LZ5L3.0]

mmmmm. I've always had a thing for the C5 S-Line. With the exception of wheels, you've done EVERYTHING I would want if it were my own.

[Vinchenzo51]

mmmmm. I've always had a thing for the C5 S-Line. With the exception of wheels, you've done EVERYTHING I would want if it were my own.

Whats wrong with my wheels

No but seriously, curious what you'd of done? I always like comments and suggestions. I'm not keeping these wheels forever.

Thanks for the props though

[LZ5L3.0]

technically nothing is wrong with them, just not my style. I'm more of a full faced/monoblock style wheel fan. And since you're low enough to pull them off, something like these two would be my front runners...



But then you wouldn't really be able to show off your brakes, but they're easier to clean and won't have to worry about the barrel and brake dust.

[Turbwhistle]

Hey vinny, i think this picuture may help... its pure sex.

[Vinchenzo51]

Lol nice

When did you take that? I wasn't over your house in a while.

[Turbwhistle]

It was when you gave me the DV. That day... make a acc on Wassercooled.com and click on the ads in the threads i made please??

[mdma2004]

OMG! That is the cleanest/best looking A6 I've ever seen...are u going to H2O? Would love to see that car there!

[Turbwhistle]

Post up your new lugs and a link?

[AMC]

Fix that damn bumper! Lazy ass

[Vinchenzo51]

Fix that damn bumper! Lazy ass

Hey, the ghost is back. Hope you guys had a good trip.

I still have a ton of odds and ends that need finishing. I only JUST installed my fog HIDs last week LOL. Bumper will have to wait.

[AMC]

ghost? lol get another bumper! lol

[ThirdStrike]

oHMy this is clean. Need some K04/FT/GT/Tials though.
Mad props on the subtle styling. Love the blades

[Vinchenzo51]

Few pics of the new stud kit and anodized lugs

[Turbwhistle]

You fancy huh.

[Vinchenzo51]

Thanks man!

The K04/FT/GT/Tial upgrade will come last. Im a firm believer of building your car before building your motor. My exterior is pretty much done. My suspension is done except for sway bars. I have almost everything I need for my OEM+ BBK. Im working on my interior now, and my 6sp swap is finally completed. 2012 will be my last year with K03's, we'll see what winter 2012 and spring 2013 brings
