    Question Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i gave my local dealer a call (Penske Audi ) and tried to get some USP sideskirts. Guy was very helpful and we found out everything I needed except he brought up a part I didnt know if I needed or not.

    On the USP sideskirts (OEM) what part is the "end cap". Supposedly its right before the rear wheel well and fender. Question is, do I need this part? And will these fit up onto my non-USP a4?

    Thanks for your help guys!

    Sideskirts, or door blades?

    Re: Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    sideskirts refer to the pieces that run length-wise beneath the doors. they are the same for stock or usp.

    what you want are the doorblades, which are different...

    "endcaps" = dealerspeak for, (here it is used in a sentence) "bend over i'm gonna shove this "endcap" up your ass."

    i think he means the corner piece that is right in front of the rear wheel well. the lower side skirt on the usp has one long piece and then the corner piece.

    Like Toaster said, the sideskirts are the same. Door blades are probably what you're after. That said, the USP ones are minimally different than the standard ones. The S4 ones are where it's at.

    Re: Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    The USP sides are not different from stock? I was told otherwise, I know I am not looking for the doorblades even though I know those are different.

    would you like the place of origin?

    "endcap" - derived from stealerships.

    alternate pronunciation: "you're-NOT-sure...let-me-SCREW-you."

    "endcap."

    Yikes. Well i currently have Reiger sides which are going away soon so I have no OEM pieces left. Will i be needing to buy the endcap as well?

    And USP sides are no different from stock

    USP:


    Standard:


    The "end cap" they are referring to is that piece of the side skirt at the end near the rear wheel.

    Re: Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    ahhh, cmon dude!

    how much clearer can i be for you...i tried to be thorough to help a brother out...there is NO difference in the skirts. the flat blades slide out and can be easily swapped for usp blades by simply unscrewing 2 screws.

    i built my USP from scratch...from bone stock.

    how do i reach these kEEEEEEds...?

    one more attempt:

    the ONLY difference is the BLADES, not the SKIRTS.

    Re: Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    So the skirts arent different?
















    So then i understand. I guess I am ok to buy regular sides. No point in buying USP sides unless i want a 2piece.

    Thanks for your help guys

    Re: Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    id get the s4 blades if you are buying blades. and for some reason they are cheaper than the usp blades.

    Re: Quick question for you guys! (USP help needed)

    Yeah...the S4 blades are more "there" than the USP blades, which hardly seem worth the trouble (unless you want to do a totally legit USP conversion).

    The skirts are definitely the same...but if you had to buy new ones I would look at Caractere also. I think they look the best on the B6.

    Cheers,
