Just another bad black out teaser...

[AvantNoir]

Well, by now, most of you know that my Avant is gone. Wife & I are a one car family currently. That being said, the girl told me I could do a few things to her car, within reason, until I get my new car.
Here is her '07 B7 A4 S-Line. Brilliant Black, only option is the S-Line package.


I've got plans for the next couple of weeks for some visual changes.
But right now, I'm working from the inside out.


Can you say Piano Black Lacquer Trim?


This was a first pass at it. No clear yet, haven't color sanded. Just of the drivers side rear belt line trim piece for a test. So far, I'm real happy with the results. I'm pulling the rest of the belt line trim this weekend, and will post pics when it's done in about 2 weeks

subscribed, i need to see this

[AudiWxGuy]

I wonder if I could do that to my wood grain?

It would have been easier for you to just trade with someone. I would have traded you and saved you a bunch of time.

So what are you getting next? ...or is that a secret?

More than likely, a 2008 VW R32. Right now we don't need the extra expense of a 2nd car. We've been sharing the sedan since 4/2 without a problem.
I'll probably get it sometime in August. The dealers are just sitting on them.

Great choice. Im clueless about what my next car will be.
Im going to hang on to this until the warranty is up so looks like I have about two more yrs of fun.

Yeah I had a 2004 R32 before I got the Avant (which was totaled on 4/2/08 RIP)
Wish I'd never sold it

OK, some update pics. I've had very little time to work on it.
Front door beltline trim:



And, yes, I finally put black rings on and debadged most of the back. Leaving the "Quattro", and getting another "S-Line" badge to put above it as an homage to my Avant

Next up is the cstarky15 wheel mod on my 18" Five Spoke RS6 reps.

More to come...

Holy back from the dead batman!

I can't give my opinion on the trim until I see it all done and put back together. I like the black rings though.

Yeah, I'm getting some gloss black vinyl for the trunk trim and side window trim. Trying to decide between Ti Package griil or Black Optic RS4.
It's a work in progress. Also need light tint job.
Trying to figure out the wheels. Like the graphite with the cstarky15 mod.
Want to go gloss black, but I think it's going to be too much in the end.
Wife (ultimately her car) is on the fence between stock silver & graphite. When I showed her the cstarky15 mod, she said, "Paint the wheels graphite, and shoot those baby rings gloss black!"

[whitevdub]

[Quattro]

[cstarky15]

I like the graphite/gunmetal color wheel!

[AvantNoir]

Yes it's painted. Need to be redone. What do you think of the color?

[AvantNoir]

I like the graphite/gunmetal color wheel!

Thanks. Looks like I'm going that direction because of you

[Quattro]

i really like it, enough to maybe take my stockies to ya =0

[whitevdub]

so whatd you do exactly to get that gloss look...or did you just flat out spray it with graphite color spray paint?

[cstarky15]

Thanks. Looks like I'm going that direction because of you

I'm Glad I could inspire you! Don't forget to post pics when it is all done!
