My PhantomBlack A4

[1point8teeNW]

1point8teeNW: I guess you don't like what I do to the car then. But if you think of the 19" rims I used last summer, I have written many times, that they where just put on the car because I had them laying in the garage. The Sline wheels I will sell, and then I didn't want to use them.
New rims this summer, but I haven't decided what to buy yet.

Oh well in that case. Happy modding!

[xileh]

Just tested the cover on the grill :)

[Vuel Egham]

Looks good. Please don't slam it like your Jetta, ride height looks good as it sits on those wheels!

if you aint rubbin you aint dubbin!!!

[xileh]

1point8teeNW: Hope you will like my car, but everyone got different taste, and there also is different ways of modding the car from country to country.
Just have to wait and se how the car ends up.

Vuel Egham: don't know how much I will lower the car. But I thinking of lowering the car as much as it get. The car is very hight, so it need a bit lowering

ruckus:

[xileh]

About this is how I hope the car will be when lowered.
I will use 20" instead of 19", so the car will be a bit higher than this.

[xileh]

you got coils or springs?

[xileh]

you got coils or springs?

It will be coilovers

[1point8teeNW]

Ok ok...the rims aren't too bad. They'd look better without the black accent stripe down the center of each spoke. That side profile really shows how the wheels bring out the window chrome.

Cliff note: They grew on me.

[BLK MAGIC]

i dunno, i think you can go lower.

[xileh]

BLK MAGIC: Will go as low as possible with 20" rims and what is possible on the lowering kit.

Ghostly: If you have ADS, and MLT gearbox, the ADS adjust the gearchanges and servotronic. But you pay much for that. And I think that is wast. I never even thought of buying ADS :)

well, i wouldnt know b/c i dont have the car but i am looking into getting it in like 2-3 months when it comes out in MT in the states (Florida)... i have just been around the forums for some time now and decided to join to learn even more and see the nice pics people like you post up of your sexi beast!

but i know i've read it somewhere on one of the Audi forums.... so you sayin that the ADS isnt useless if you get coilovers or maybe air suspension, and can still use it with some adjustments?

[PSI NRG]

The only thing I was going to suggest was back out that grille but looks like you already ahead of the game sick car

BTW the film over the head lights is it just regular tint for windows? What %? I might give that a try on my b5

[xileh]

Ghostly:Well. I don't know for sure. Maybe you can try to ask the dealer? If they have any experience with ADS and lowering. :)


PSI NRG: You don't like the thought of black grill you meen? Think I will try it. It is not so much for new grill if I don't like it :)

The headlight tint is from LaminX:

I got the lightest tint for headlights.

Did you already post pricing for the body pieces? I'm curious what it is, even in Norway.

I got very good price in Norway, because I was the first to buy here :)
But I can try to find the prices for you. :) I think the total in Norway is about almost 3000USD

Which of this rims looks the best?

[Blake P]

Do we have to pick one of those?

[xileh]

Do we have to pick one of those?

Nope
But that is just some rims I have found that I like. The wheels must be 20" and if the have a lip like the Vertini wheels, I would like them about 10" wide :)

Your ride is going to look so great with the kit and drop! I don't think any of those wheels are good enough. I vote for ANYTHING from BBS, HRE, or DPE before any of those. Plus, if you go with custom wheels you can specify the exact size, width, and offset to your taste!

I have seen on BBS and HRE, but haven't found anyone yet. But DPL, do you got a webpage or something for them?

[YZracer]

Definitely the last wheel. Awesome clean ride Man.

[Audi_A5]

the first one .. was also looking for those but decided not to..
would be a real eye catcher!!

[xileh]

YZracer: Like them to. But also like the other two.

Audi_A5: HR3 is much cleaner than the others. And think the car will be clean with them. But the Vertini wheels are a bit more "eyecathcing" I think.

[xileh]

Done some things with the car now :)
Mounted my coilovers. :)

Hard to see how the car is now, because it is snow on the pictures, and the wheels are way to small :(

Got about 3-4cm to the ground under the car on lowest point.

[xileh]

And picked up my OEM styling

Good to have big trunk en the old 100 avant



Some pics of the styling

Diffusor rear:


Sideskirts:


Things that is going to be on the sides of rear bumper:


Frontblade. (Not put together, because I quess I never would have gotten it apart without breaking it)



Rear spoiler:



And some "How to mount" in different languages.

[Audi_A5]

H&R looks good, not so good to see the height with the snow but it looks quite nice!
OEM package looks good!!
found any dual exhaust yet? or planning on going custom..

No. It is hard to se the height because of the snow. But hope I get the time to clear the snow and take pictures tomorrow :)

Haven't found dual exhaust yet. Got the tip of taking from 2.0tfsi avant that is delivered with it :) Should be about perfect fit. But I was hoping to find something with a little sporty sound when I was to fit new exhaust :)

Things that is going to be on the sides of rear bumper:

I know you bought the entire package but do you know if these come with the "side skirt kit" or the "rear valence kit"?

[xileh]

I think they are on their own.

[Anthony]

Really looking forward to seeing the body pieces go on, and get your feedback on them. Still not sure if I want to do those sides or just go with the S line / S4 sideblades.

I will deliver them to paint tonight. And everything should be ready on friday
Work this weekend, so don't know if I got time to fit them, but I will have them on the car Monday or Tuesday next week
Then you can se how they look, compared to the sline skirts. The slines got one major think that is good, that I guess I loose now. They protect against stones and gravel on the side of the car. (A bit like mub-flaps if you get me?)
Have to try to make some mudflaps to use when going longer distance, because the original won't fit anymore

Here are some pics from mounting the coilovers. Didn't take so many pictures, because didn't want to break my camera with dirty hands.



Old suspension



Removed old:



old vs new:

[xileh]

Tested some of the styling today, do se how the fit is. And it is about perfect Won't need any work on it before paint.
Only thing I didn't test is sideskirts (have to remove the slines first, and don't know how to do that yet. They are clued on. And rear difusor, because I need new exhaust first.

Frontspoiler. (only hand up with shoes and stuff)



Spoiler:


And the things on the sides of rear bumper, my dad's holding them while I take a photo:

[xileh]

Also had to take some shots that shows the height of the car better. Haven't tested with 19" rims yet. Because I don't get the jack under the car anymore

[Blake P]

Loving the negative camber! Is your jack a low profile "racing" floor jack? You can always drive up onto 2x4's to make extra room for the jack.
