    Time for a change... Oettinger Avant to USP or S4?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I think I want to try either an S4 or USP body kit on my avant.
    Does anyone have side by side pics of an S4 and USP Avant??

    Also either of these kits use anything special for Side Skirts besides the door blades?

    Seriously, I am just planning ahead.
    If I do not find a buyer then I will keep it and go for a new look or BT or something.

    I don't know... maybe i'm just bored right now...

    Re: Time for a change... Oettinger Avant to USP or S4?

    You are switching FROM an Oettinger?

    I'm thinking about switching TO an Oettinger front from my S4 front.... Interested in working out a deal?

    That MIGHT be an option!
    I'm at work now, but let me give this some thought and check out your pics tonight when I get home.

    What is your time frame for a potential swap?
    I have my car listed online to sell/trade, but will definitely consider your offer.

    Now to clarify, you just mentioned "Front" but I would be looking for an all around swap.

    Andy.

    I want to keep my S4 rear so I'm only willing to part with my S4 front including all lower grilles, fogs and euro plate delete panel. Its blue so you'll have to clean it and repaint it. I'll get rid of it cheap since the cover has been through a lot and cost me next to nothing (I bought the grilles new). Timeframe? I don't know. It could have been immediate if I didn't get rid of my A4 front since I'll want to do some 'tweaks' to the Oetty front. I gotta do some digging to find an A4 front as a temp solution (see WTB ad here).

    Ah, ok. If I swap it would be a complete switch from Oettinger to S4 or USP

    I am going to a USP front soon too. They look so sick with a front splitter.

    What's funny is that I just sold a USP front that i DIY'd!
    Don't know what the heck made my brain want me to change things all of a sudden!

    S4 is clean and has nice fatty grilles.
    USP is more agressive with that lip and mesh grille is a nice difference.

    If you have aftermarket sides you might wanna consider OEM ones since the OEM front bumpers dont hang nearly as low as your oetty.

    I heart wagons.

    Sides are Caractere.

    I had the S4 front but it looked too 'soft' compared to the rest of the car.

    I converted to a shaved USP front but I'm not 100% sold on it yet.

    Thanks Winston. I think I'm going to go all S4! The Oetty was flashy so I think I need something simple for awhile!

    What's the best way to post for an S4/Oettinger swap? Post here or in S4 forum???

    Wonder what it would cost to straight up buy the front rear from the dealer??
