    Freshly Painted Lowers (Picture)

    What do you guys think?







    Finally mounted the plate on the front of the car as well, instead of slanting it into the window. I think it turned out nicely. Decent color match, not perfect but I'm happy

    I also did the USP front bumper DIY a long while back.

    Other visual stuff going down this month. New drilled/slotted rotors, and I am going to paint my brake calipers red to offset all that silver.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Also the reason the bumper isn't as flush as it could be.. is curb trouble... fuck. I will get that fixed.

    I spent 200$ to have the sides and back painted, he also redid my front lower grills to ensure they don't chip away anymore!

    The front was done previously

    the b6 is my least favorite look, but yours looks great.

    I don't like the ringless look on 90% of audi's, but you have everything thats needed for it to look good.

    Nice car!

    Haha, naw man. Mine is loose, but I only really notice that it is when washing it. Bugs me as well

    Yeah? I know I debate rings every once in a while but I love the front of my car, not sure I wanna do anything to mess it up.

    and, thanks!

    Mine are just blacked out as opposed to removing them completely which is another alternative for the aggressive look imo.

    Nice clean look. I'm looking to do something similar to my black A4. Btw, are the side skirts OE just like the rear? Or are those USP's too?

    The sides and rear are OEM, from a 2003 Audi.

    The front is the USP bumper, follow the DIY

    And sweet dude, I personally like it. But then again its mine
