My avant project...couple pics so far

[apatchin]

Hey guys, finally got my avant about a month ago after a 4 month wait...have been hard at work since...

white/black theme, all chrome/brushed aluminum has been taken off/replaced with black (besides headlamp housing)

pretty shitty photos now, but when i find a good place to take some better photos i will post them up.

would like your opinions..things that look good/bad/additions i want to hear it!

thanks...

funny you asked about that. I looked all over at the beginning of all this thinking I wanted to get rid of my sline badge b/c of the brushed alum...so I started looking and found a bunch of places that carried them...ecstuning.com , vagparts.com but i thought they were a bit pricey. So went on a whim and bought one from ebay, b/c they were so much cheaper. which ended up being great b/c the seller was ligit, here is her email ([email protected]), she doesn't have them posted on ebay but if you email her she will set up a payment on paypal. she sells actual brushed aluminum badges, not plastic.

after i got them, i covered the red with tape, which was a little time consuming, then wet sanded, sprayed black, probably 4 layers, once dry hit them up with a couple layers of clear coat, 3M was already on the back...

you're in the running with 1sicknickel for best looking B7 Avant ever. Have you looked into the DTM front to match your badge?

why thank you...im not there yet in my mind...his avant is fucking ridiculous.

i have thought about it, and as soon as i get exhaust and chip i plan to do a bit more body work...dtm front, skirts, and hopefully bumper (dtm bumper issues with avant supposedly) once thats on, probably osir cf mirrors, and im still debating black roof and cf hood...although the vorsteiner looks so nice.

thanks again

Please give your opinion of the SS coils.

I hear the back doesnt go UP too much, yes I said up... and are they easy to height adjust when on the car??

I go back to Matrix Integrated (shop) wed. I will ask them, Jeremy in there is the man btw...if anybody in oregon, washington need some work matrix is the place to go.

I think it is pretty ez to adjust but not sure how high it goes up^...i will get back to you. as far as the ride, its corning feels great. ride is not too stiff at all...had a full car last night and no rubbing...only had it for 2 days...will continue to update.

[CZA420tAvant]

Also...if you could go into more detail about the ride and handling with the SS's on the avant.

[Sharkfin]

Looks good, some better pics of large portions of the car would help us seen the improvements much better

[autoverruckt]

Lov'n it and the theme you are going with. Keep up the good work!

[dreamcar=rs4]

black dtm logos =
one of the cleanest cars on here

[SoCalS4Avant]

You considered black door blades? Saw it on a b7 s4 avant (oatzel's) and it looks awesome...it may set your look off even more.

I have seen his...I do like them, but im still up in the air if I really want to do it.

I would def. upgrade to the S4 blades but im not sure about the black....if i had more black; like mirrors, roof, etc i would probably go for it but i think it stands out a little too much...but its growing on me.

appreciate your feedback.

[MOFSTEEL]

gotcha...give me a sec....

Awesome
You're making me rethink going to black badges.

[VZWalex]

your car is *enfermo!*

[TooLow2.0T]

Looks good! Hope to see your car in person sometime.

[akasch]

sexy! you could really benefit from a clear corner. beautiful none the less

[sloppyjimbob]

sick as hell

[BlackB7Quattro]

Very nice!

[Six Speed Turbo]

Looks very nice!

[HeHateMe]

WOW! , this is the exact look I would have if I had a b7. I love it! The wheels look incredible, the grille, the drop, everything! Well done, man. Welll done!

Looks a bit like the Avant twin of Pure Euro's old ride.

[apatchin]

...big ups to all you.

thanks..
