My 05 USP Avant

[dubenvy]

I originally bought this car because my 01 2.5RS wasn't really cutting it for a car i could move my entire life in. I used to have a job where i would have to re-locate every 6 month to a different part fo the country. With no assistance, i'd have to move in one shot and this car fit the bill. So far I've moved cross country twice, once from MA to ME, and once from ME to MD. My life finally settled down in 07 and it became time to start modding more heavily.

When I first got the car (sniff...i miss my NH plates)



Picked up the Black grilles...got spotted at Waterfest


Moved to Florida


Moved to MD and started getting more into modding, got coilovers and the MTM Bimotos


got the front mount soon after



Got PWNT by a man hole cover @ H20 and sold the MTMs. came back with the CH's. here's a couple shots from a Photoshoot at Waterfest. Notice the foglight grilles are missing. Hit a truck tire on the way to the meet. soooo pissed.




some more recent stuff....

Love the Avant as always Brian... nice work. What a shame about the Bimotos, someone bought those right and is rolling on them now?

[dubenvy]

yup. he has em on a ming blue avant. He had to replace one because it had a bend in the inner lip and the spokes were bent. Ocean City roads FTL.

The Audi one was a photoshop. It used to say -RAUDI-. I did have good luck though. I couldn't believe that i got AVANT though. RAUDI is taken in MD.

Thanks for the love Everyone!

I gotta get me a USP!

[CARTEL]

One of my favorite B6's... nice work dude.

[LampyB]

dude your car looks incredible, but the headlight reflectors stick out like a sore thumb and make the car look cheap! absolutely love the black bbs on your car, amazing! really nice stance too...

[bvnguyen516]

beautiful avant

[dubenvy]

Thanks Guys!

Believe it or not, i kinda like the reflectors.

[LivingLegend]

If you ever come to SF I will steal your car. I don't do that sort of thing, but for your car, goddamn it would be worth it.

[dubenvy]

Funny....because i have bee to SF a bunch of times, just never with my car.

Thanks for the heads up!

Love the car - looked great in person at the show (congrats on your 1st place). Whatever happened to the Bimotos...those are some of my favorite wheels.

They're on my car now!

:)

It was a little durty when I shot these pics but you get the idea. The theme I am going for is "evil OEM+". Also going with a "mostly" MTM theme. Everything is MTM except for their brake and clutch kits.

Mad props to Brian for selling me these, and for helping me paint the new wheel (on one of the hottest days of the year)!

picked up some Bi-Xenon E-Codes and a 3-Bar Badgeless Grille for this year. Quick pic i took today.

[CARTEL]

^^ oh yeah, that doesn't suck at all.

[the4ringer]

why have i not seen this before!? those MTM are hotness. diggin the new badgless. where'd you pic that up from? plans to paint-to match/black the lower grille trim?

[dubenvy]

funny you should mention that. i have a black one too, but i just took it off because the chrome one fits better. I could paint the chrome one, but the chrome goes well with the FMIC.

I still regret selling the MTMs. Those wheels were show stoppers.

[dubenvy]

thanks man...i'm counting the days till your masterpiece is done

i forgot to add, i finally installed my AWE pedals (3 years after purchase), but i'm guessing its obvious by the above pic .......LOL

[the4ringer]

where'd you pick up the 4 bar one? if ur interested, i MIGHT have someone interested in the lower grille

[dubenvy]

thanks...not i'm not really looking to sell it. Besides, the black one is kinda beat. Needs to be painted.

I got the grille on the classifieds on here. They are on ebay too, but they are in all chrome and you need to paint it to your liking because they don't make the all black like mine anymore.

Good stuff as usual. See you when I get back, may be a photo shoot.

[dubenvy]

Brian, say it isn't so...you can't sell your car. It's an icon of these forums! There have been more pictures taken of your car (by other people) than anyone else - it's a unique and cool ride.

Anyways, GL w/ your sale. You won't have any problem selling it. LMK if there is anything I can do to help.

[dubenvy]

Thanks Tom. I actually had no problem selling it. She sold in under 24 hours. I still have the car, but we are parting ways this week.

[pondside36]

Oh wow, I guess congrats on the quick sale. Are you moving into another Audi or VW, I though I remembered you mentioning getting an R32 or something, but I could be wrong.
