    September 2012 Featured AZ'er: Operator's 2007 A4 2.0T quattro

    Engine of Vehicle: 2.0T

Before even heading up to his new home in the Rocky Mountains, the mod bug had already bit.

With his previous ride being heavily tinkered with, after trading it in for the Audi, a fresh canvas was presented to him. Not waiting to even take possession of the ride, David started to outline his goals for the A4... More
