Lookin good, I wonder if anybody put the AR fender flares on a C5 sedan.

[mike's machine]

Yea, I wonder, too.
Btw, that is the hottest AR I have ever seen!
So did you removed the alllll the components related to the air suspension?
And how did you convert your fogs to be the DRL?
My 00 C5 doesn't have DRL at all...

[skiroad'r]

thx for the kind words -- the air suspension is fully functioning, the pics were taken on level 1. For the DRL mod, there is just a simple fused jumper wire from the hot side of the rear wiper to the switched side of the fogs. It allows me to run the fogs without the low beams on via the switch.

Others have done a real DRL rewire to meet Canadian laws, but I am not sure of the specifics.

nice man, hey by the way, do you want to get rid of your door blades? lol

[mike's machine]

Oh, just the jumper wire to fogs? Mine's sedan, so what else could I use instead of the rear wiper?
And I thought H-sports meant your springs, I guess that's sway bars?...my mistake!

[mike's machine]

wait...I only can pull out the switch to turn on the fogs only when the switch's on 'On', not when it's off...so I guess that's not the solution for me...?
Mine doesn't have the seperate switchs for fogs...Damn!

It looks great! Have you done the Vag com mode to lower it? I deffinitelly like the exhaust tips.

Do you have any p-shot skills? -- I'm curious to see how the car would look with matte black door blades and roof rails and chrome delete on the window frames.

Thanks -- this is standard ride height on level 1. I had lowered it 12mm, but the ride sucked. It felt like a Honda with cut springs, so I traded a bit of show for better ride and un-did the what we call the 402 mod (the VAGcom ride height adjustment)

I love the look of the exhaust tips, anyone with a stock exhaust should pick those up to dress up the back of the car. Of course a full turboback is always better

Lol... I;m not gonna lie.. I do all the work on my car myself (suspension, brakes etc.) but I am too pussy to do the reaking clear corner mod.. lol..

I took the light out the other day.. looked at it... couldn't understand where to exactly rill into my 1,000 dollar light.. lol.. then just put it all back together.

No Drilling. Remove parking lights, remove rubber gaskets, remove 4 metal clips. do 1 light at a time, bake those suckers in the oven at 160 degrees for 5 minutes, gently pry apart. don't let that stick stuff touch anything. pull that ugly amber lense out. push headlight back together, reattach four metal clips, heat again for 5 mins (to re-seal), let cool, reinstall.

I have a fear of tools and I was able to do this.

Clears look good! I've got to do that on my A6. Improved the look on my A4 x100 but I just bought E-codes instead of tearing apart the lights. Did you reseal the housings with some silicone?

yes -- did not apply anything new, just reused/reheated the existing sealeant. No fogging or leaks of any kind.
