    Re: just bought a b5, what should i do???

    Don't mind the ones above you. It is just that people are used to seeing the same questions being asked over and over again. It gets tiring to many after a while. But you should check out the FAQ sheet and learn to use the search function. It will save you in the future from being flamed.

    With that being said, congrats on the purchase and welcome to Audizine!

    Re: just bought a b5, what should i do???

    i personally vote for neon lights in as many places as possible to match the flames, wing, and gold rims (they should be spinners btw)

    all jokes aside invest in a good suspension - car handles amazing with it. Then chip it

    Re: just bought a b5, what should i do???

    Daily driver?

    Do ALL maintenance first. have it inspected, do everything the PO didnt do.

    Then when you have money left over, figure what you want to do to it, what you want out of the car, and come back... There are a LOT of threads JUST like yours. just go back a couple of pages on the forums and read.

    I agree. I'm doing exactly that. Any problems I find, I'm trying to fix them once I get the money gathered up. There are already a few modifcations that were done to my car before I got it, but I'd rather have something that doesn't leak oil than something that goes just a little bit faster.

    Reliability should come before Speed.

    Re: just bought a b5, what should i do???



    This is how your car can look whith some small mods.
    RIMS 18" is best for B5 ( I think )
    Coilovers
    Facelift headlights
    Remove A4,1.8 and Quattro mark on rear.
    S4 grill.
    White side blinkers.

    IS your car silver og white? Cant never be sure on those pics...

    Re: just bought a b5, what should i do???

    haha funny thread.

    Damn b5s are soo damn cheap now I have a feeling the forum is going to be transforming slowly into threads like this one with 16 and 17 year olds buying them up.

    To answer the OPs question, you can read just page 1 here and find a ton of things to do to your damn car.

    Thank god for the projects forum that was a great addition to this section.

    Hopefully you're just kidding. Also that lip is kinda ugly. Do some searching and you'll find some good tips on how to make the car look clean.
