Hey guys,
I picked up my A4 Jan. 31. It was been a awesome experience so far. Here is short time-line.
At the dealer.

A week later, I had the car lowered and the windows tinted.

A couple of days after lowering, I put on the RS6 reps on.

Future mods: cupra r lip, s4 rear valance, votex side skirts, hid fogs, sound system, and misc small mods

Are you getting quad tips? without them the S4 valence is going to look... awkward.

Yes, I will get quad tip. But I want to get the valance and side skirts painted first.

Same here. I was thinking of saving my money for something else but the rs6 were to too good to resist. Lol...

Car looks really nice man, you're doing it right! 2 quick questions:
- Are the RS6 reps 19's" They look fantastic
- What % is the tint?

What's your ground to fender height? The car looks great, the RS6 wheels are always nice to see.

I would keep the trunk rings and take off the A4 and 2.0T. The quattro is up to you. It looks very nice, keep it up!

Thanks man. I bought the rims used so I don't have all the information about the rims. They are 19's Et 30. I'm not sure of the other number (19x8 or 19x8.5).
The tint is 30%.

I believe I'm at 25 up front and 25 1/4 in the back. I will need to remeasure just in case the springs have settled on the koni coilovers. I'm not sure if it's because of the ET but I'm rubbing. I had to take off the 12 o-clock screw at the front fender liner. It's better now but I still rub at the rear. I know there are guys here way lower then me without rubbing issues. [confused] I need to take another look at fender liner.

I'm leaning toward this but its a little too cold right now. Do you have any pics of the A4 and 2.0T badge removed?

its because we run stretched tires...it helps but in some cases you just cant avoid the occasional rub a dub

I can understand that. Google translate was not that helpful.
Thanks for the pic vbrad. I may have to introduce fishing line to my badges.

and a hairdryer and a credit card and a little bit bit of goo-gone lol

The tires are 235 X 35.

A CC? I did some searching and most people recommended fishing line (with hairdryer, goo-gone, and finish with wax). I guess my CC has more uses than just ordering parts for the car. [:)]

02-20-2011, 11:17 AM
Well actually I can't even remember if I used the card or not.
Some people use it to lightly scrape off some of the glue...
The hair dryer should get it hot enough to where you can just get the letters off by hand...no need for line bit I guess it wouldn't hirt to have

That makes sense. Thanks for the tips. I'm about to go outside to work on removing the rear carpet for a amp install.

Nice start! Thanks for the pic lowered on the stock 17" SE wheels.. been unsuccessful looking for a pic of that until now. Were you at 25"F and 25 1/4"R when on the stock wheels also?

02-22-2011, 09:28 PM
I didn't measure with the stock wheels but I did not change the height when I put on the rs6 rims.

I'm not looking at getting flashed right now. I might in the future. I just finished wiring my amp to the stock system. It sounds great except for the loud thump or pop when I turn off the car. From what I read it has to do with the stock blue-tooth. I need to find a fix for that because it's annoying as hell.

I installed cupra r, votex, flat door blades, etc.

Thanks. The product of many of hours of searching the AZ except for the eye lids. [;)] I knew the majority wouldn't like them but I think they are ok. Whenever I need to respray the front I probably do what fly did.
