before and after in the same picture

[mattro]

I went for a drive and found a stock silver audi behind the dealership that is exactly like mine when i bought it
so i decided to have a little photoshoot of the old versus the new

[biketsai]

its amazing how much different the rear end looks with a painted lower and debadge!

[Firefighter637]

Yea, your car looks hell of alot better! Tint those windows though!

[DubAudi3]

love the silver with painted lowers.. doin mine soon

[getslideways]

do you have a list of mods that you've done?

**edit**

nevermind, found your other thread: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216747

[mattro]

thanks for the comments guys
it felt weird to be able to see it right next to a stock one and to think it was like this a year ago

as for the mods,
engine wise it only has a cone air intake setup

suspension is H&R sport springs on OEM sport shocks

as for cosmetics:
The car came with the factory xenon upgrade
I did the clear corner mod
Debadged front and rear except the audi rings
OEM b6 S4 wheels
Shaved lower door moldings
Painted lowers (with black bars in the front spoiler)
M3 trunk spoiler
Cupra R front lip
Black grill surround
Stainless steel exhaust tips

And that’s about it, and it will probably stay that way until I sell it in a couple years
I might tint the windows though

what paint did you use to paint your lowers?
anymore meets in August?

[hawaii]

Is there a noticable drop after you changed the sport springs?

i brought the car to a paint shop, not sure what paint he uses but it's pretty darn close to a perfect match

as for meets, is July 26 too early for you to take your car out ? there's the Fun Run in Shediac NB on the 26, supposed to have a group of VW/audi from Halifax coming down. it would be nice to see your car there
and if you're not on customobsessions.com you should register there too, it's a forum of mostly VW/Audi based out of Halifax, pretty impressive VW scene too, and they're usually organising a customobsessions car show at the end of the summer if i'm not mistaken. i'll try to go this year.

my car didn't have the sport suspension before, i just switched to sport shocks when lowered it.
so yeah there was a good difference from stock to the H&R.

here's my car when i bought it

I bought the stock sport suspension with one of the member, including stock sport springs. I am just wondering wether I should buy a set of sport spring or not in order to lower it more..

[biketsai]

hawaii- get the race springs. Sport springs on a car with sport suspension wont change. Look at my sig for a picture of my car with race springs.

[hawaii]

I discussed that in another thread. Some of the member said that the shock will easily "die" using race springs.

[audiness]

love those rims

[dingguhlbary]

yeah, your lowers look really nice man

[speedydragon]

I seem to like it more without the CC

[lanoueb5er]

The CC mod looks nicer with chrome bulbs that blinks amber instead of the amber ones. Ordered me a pair should get them in a few days...but nice ride

[mattro]

yeah i've been looking around for some of these bulbs, i tried painting mine with a light coat of silver paint i heard it worked well.. but it turned out crappy and didn't work well at all.
i also found some nice LED bulbs, they say they are brighter and direct replacement... that also was crap.
so i'll order some chrome ones
where did you order yours from ?

[Squarrl]

im going to get a bunch from superbright replace all oe with LED should cost around $100

[Seerlah]

If you want chrome turn signal bulbs, the Stealth Bulbs are the way to go. Clicky Click. You would need bulb 3457. I have them in my headlights and adore them. You could also get Silver Star 3457 from Autozone. It will have a sort of reflective blue tint though to it, compared to the Silver Stars.

As for the LED lights, Superbrightlights is the way to go. Got the red bulb for my boost gauge from there and ordered red LED lights for my map and dome lights at the same time. I will do foot well and trunk lights next. And do the vanity lights a bright white.

[SoFresh]

I think you need to do something with your lower door moldings.... you have the front still on and the rest are removed? Looks out of place.

i know i got that comment a couple times.. but the front is still on because the front is all one piece.
but now i got used to it and it's not worth the hassle, plus i'm pretty much done in putting money on my car so it'll stay that way for a while.
next time i have to get something painted it'll get fixed

[matt719]

My car is very similar to yours.. only differences are that I haven't painted the lowers, I have B5 S4 18's, no lip, and mine is a '97. Funny it's been modded the way it is now for over a year and I have never taken a picture of it. I should get around to that.

Imagine how many fewer S4s would have been sold if the A4 1.8T came with chip, sport springs, rims, and a couple cans of spray paint.

[Nebone]

Thats an awesome image. Good comparison and the 18 Avus wheels are sick compared to the 17" ones.

Just got them today... took pretty long. I was waiting to get them before giving you feedback. I got them from ebay but you can get them on http://www.xenonmods.com/ for about 15$ shipped. They are cheap and look good

[Yaktizzle417]

major props =]

i think it's good they came from factory looking just so so, it forces everyone to mod them their own way instead of having a lot of stock but good looking A4's all looking the same

[le91688]

Get new rims.

[mattro]

Get new rims.

1 - you have the same rims ?
or
2 - you suffer from too much confidence and think you can tell everyone what they have to do to their car ?

if it's 1, then good for you i love these rims
if it's 2 then my answer to your post is 'no'

[AudiSport12]

Meh, he's a noobie, let him be.

Car is looking good! I considered getting those wheels for my A6 but just went with the RS6 5 spokers instead.
