Happy modding!

I've heard some of the Audi's in Canada sound different when you accelerate. Does your car go "AAYYYYYYYY?"

[yayjohnny]

[dbens]

Thanks i will be reading it I just wanted to see if some of the experts have suggestions( exterior that would look good on my car...)

QG = Quartz Grey
TI = Titanium
FTW = For The Win

I have QG Ti Quattro.
Exterior - Tint, Smoked Signal Repeaters, Smoked ECS front reflectors, Lamin-X Gun Smoked Rear Tails, CC'd Headlights, Lamin-X Yellow Fog Covers(also protects lights from rocks/could get clear if you dont like 3000k look), Cupra Lip

Thats all for now I believe other than the random cruise/rally stickers. Upcoming though I plan to smoke the rear reflectors or get a DTM bumper and also may vinyl the roof black and get a rear window spoiler and call it a day on the exterior. Maybe carbon fiber mirror covers. I'm keeping to the black and grey theme I have going on.

I do have many on my phone I'm not sure how I can upload to the site from my phone though. I'm working on it as I type this.

[yayjohnny]

I have a Quartz Grey, but no titanium. However, i did black out my trim and grille so it kinda looks like a titanium.
Here are some pictures for reference, my mods list are in my sig

that looks really good im thinking i just have to throw some black rims on

[yayjohnny]

In my opinion, rock the Ti rims. they looks great!
Use that money for other mods, like suspension (lowering it)

[crazytex21]

haha, i think it's more like "eeeeeeehhhhhhhh"

nice car OP

[fordyoz]

Id keep the Ti wheels. They look great with the car.

[A4A4A4]

IMO, I think there are four must do mods for the Ti A4. 1. Lower, 2. Chip (and DV), 3. Tint, and 4. Debadge. It looks like you already are getting started on two of those (tint and chip) and one of them takes 15 minutes and is free, so I say it's time to start research on suspension setups.

This. They look sick and with a drop they look even better. I wish I could get my pics up on here. And with Sport Suspension all you really need is B5 spring cups and it'll even out your rake.

thanks for the advice im excited to get started... juts a quick question though. I live in Canada( as has been pointed out lol) in montreal actually and im planning on driving the car throughout the winter so what will happen if i decide to change the suspension and lower the car a bit how will that affect the car? ( Im a bit a of a noob so i would appreciate some clarifications as well as to the benefits of changing the suspension)

[Leo14]

I love how our QG's look

well im gonna go out on a limb here and assume canada gets gratuitous amounts of snow, so clearance could be an issue depending on how low you go, but besides that it should improve handling on the car

Also Clear corners are a must!

And Congrats to the OP on the Audi!

For us Canucks I always recommend a modest drop, I personally went with Koni FSD and Eibach Pro Springs and didn't have too much trouble getting around in the winter in Calgary. When there's tons of snow you're going to have to be more careful about high centering yourself, scraping the bottom of your car on ice in the road, just all of the general things you'd expect by being a touch lower to the ground. The benefits in dry performance handling and looks more than outweigh the winter negatives though in my opinion.

Just an FYI, I did go to aftermarket wheels for a while but I decided I liked the Ti wheels more and went back, don't make the same mistake, save your money and stick with the stockers from the start.

Here's what my setup looks like that I run year round. If you have any questions let me know.

Youre not the first person to tell me to stick with the Ti rims because the truth is those are rims I would actually buy aftermarket so ill stick with those. I like the little LED'syou have on the front headlights...by how much is your car lowered from stock?

Hey man - do you have spacers on your wheels?
I just dropped my car and I am not into the tucked look. My ti wheels are slightly inside the fender, but I want them matching the edge.

[Stewy]

Nice choice man. Ti package FTW!

[dbens]

also if anyone could help me because i cant get a straight answer form anywhere else.... I am still under warranty (cpo) for 2 years does this mean that i cannot put the performance chip in my car because it will undoubtedly void the warranty?

Yup. It will.
The Eibach springs lower the car about 1.2"
It's the mildest drop out of the aftermarket springs.
You can do Coilovers, go way low in the Summer, and a bit higher up for the winter. But that's only up to your preference

Technically, there is no straight answer. If there is an issue that can be proven to be caused by the motor being chipped, chances are it won't be covered. Also, it depends on the dealership, some outright don't care, but others are more particular.

Oh and nice QG TI btw, welcome to the club[up]
