avant pic whorin

[ad03avant]

I haven't put any pictures up lately so I couldn't help myself. Ive done some minor things lately but Im starting to like how my car looks. Tow hook needs to go as soon as I get atlas grey paint for my tow cover. Like the decals and smoked side markers. Check it out

[joshsd]

Nice avant, you're makin me want one, good work

[El_Chapusca]

Oh So Sexy and clean!! good job

[vinny.dtw]

The splitter is taking a good beating, thats for sure. The avant looks great tho.

[ad03avant]

Yeah, I need to redo the splitter. My front bumper sucks too. It got twisted during shipment and has some spider webs in the paint. Ive got my stock bumper upper that I might do a new USP conversion on this winter and put on in the spring. I did a clear bra on my hood and fenders but that front bumper is already screwed up so no sense putting film on it. If I could sell this stock upper here I might get an aftermarket bumper. Sure would like one that later a front mounted intercooler would fit under.

[Hotel Guy]

Nice but the blue painted stock calipers look super cheap

[ad03avant]

Yeah some hate, I like em.

[ryannorthcott]

also looks like your drivers side rotor is spinnin the wrong way...

[ad03avant]

Both my rotors are identical, front and rear. I thought that was a mistake by pure motersports where I got them, but I didn't feel like sending them back. Im not hurting anything am I, it just looks stupid?

I wasn't sure if they made zimmermans wheel specific...

[ryannorthcott]

yeah i'm pre sure they sent you the wrong ones, doesn't look bad though, only if you're really picky like me

chances are the vanes inside the rotors aren't directional, they're just pointing straight out so yeah you're not hurting anything

[dougyfresh]

Splitter is rubber? or hard plastic?

Atlas Gray with the blackout theme looks really good!

[DownhillA4]

Super clean Avant, still wish I had one. I'm suprised the Audi decals don't look half bad, kinda like them. Just not my first choice of wheels.

[ad03avant]

I got a great deal on the wheels, 50% off. I would like to get some audi replicas at some point, but other things are more important first (injectors for 1+ and an exhaust). Im almost thinking that the magnaflow mufflers from performance peddler might be they way to go. I'd like a full stainless exhaust though. So many mods, not enough money.

[ad03avant]

If you could choose any wheel for my car what would it be? I kind of like the other atlas grey thread with the BBS. I wonder how they would look on my car.

[eg6siR]

i like it alot, i even like the towhook

[jrau13]

Kind of cluttered looking but that might be my simple style getting in the way. I am looking to get the USP front for my Atlas Grey avant. Looks good though, keep it up!

[ad03avant]

Its a little cluttered when your up on the wheels, but otherwise its not too bad. If I added to many more stickers it would be bad I think though.

You have to adjust the hood height and the front bumper alignment as the gaps are all off.

That's the first thing that caught my eyes when I looked at your pics.

But Atlas Grey Avants FTW!!!

[ad03avant]

Yeah, one of the clips is missing on my bumper so I need to unbolt it and put one in from my other bumper.

Winston - How do I adjust the hood height?

[[email protected]]

Look under the hood and there are two little rubber bumpers.

Twist them to adjust the height up/down.

Here is proper alignment

[ad03avant]

Sweet, I adjusted that hood, its much better now. That bumper will have to wait for another day though. That will take a little bit longer.

[ThreePointOhh]

the car is sex...

[ad03avant]

I love my car.

[ad03avant]

I want to get some s4 mirror housings soon.

[A4Triple Blk]

Yeah some hate, I like em.

i'm liking the silver on blue calipers as well ... sick car man keep it up

[chadb2434]

looks really really good!

EDIT! Yay just hit 4 rings!!! /threadjack

[02SILVANT]

Super clean avant! good job.

[MarkChai]

If you're really sold on the blue calipers, think about having something else that's blue on the car. Take a look at Winston's high beams- the bulbs (or maybe the city lights?) have a blue tint that reflects in the housing. You could do something like that, or maybe the side marker or turn signal bulbs could have that blue tint.

I also think that perhaps another wheel style would compliment the blue better. They are not my preference, but I think they look fine on the car overall though - roll with them until you get tired of 'em.

[davidlizard]

also looks like your drivers side rotor is spinnin the wrong way...

Zimmermann dont make right and left rotors, they are the same and the hole patern is a aesthetic thing and has no incidence at all on braking, cooling etc...

To the OP, your avant is nice!
Personnaly I would remove those stickers ASAP!

[ad03avant]

Thanks for all the positive feedback folks. Ill think about that blue comment - adding something else blue to my car. I had to do something to add color. I like atlas grey but combine atlas grey, blacked out front and side markers, and a seattle winter and thats a lot of drab color. The blue added a little color without oging to overboard. Its not red (so I dont look like Im trying to fake big brakes).

[drvslow]

Nice avant- wish mine looked that good.

Tow hook- what tow hook- like looking at a girl with a great set- you overlook the blemishes.

Hm... that's kind of odd... i mean i know it has no effect on performance or anything but it's just one of those things where you know it doesn't really matter, but you just want it to be perfect you know? i mean they do cost a fair bit....

[zz2h33]

Atlas Grey Avants FTMFW! Some day mine will look as nice as yours. I just put my winter wheels on last night and i hate it! Might as well whore mine up too:

Hey, screw you, buddy.

My car came with the stock calipers painted red, which I was never excited about for that very reason, but I never got around to changing that. Since it ties in with the red in the tail light, I don't hate it, but I will probably change it eventually...

[Maverick]

nice brakes!!!!

Big brake faker!!

[gtsingh91]

[ad03avant]

Ebay, look for brake caliper decals...
