So in light of a mod bug that hit me all over again a little while ago, I decided to go in a different direction and freshen up the car's look.

I had a crazy last 15 months with the car, after my friend popped the engine, rear quarter getting sheared by a semi's front wheel studs @70mph on highway, to having driven it long distance as a DD, etc.

Spent last weekend doing just the rears as you can see here:





More pictures and mod info to come.

Wow you rolled the crap out of those! Can you go lower???

[JumboBlack1.8]

THATS how you roll a rear fender......noobs take note

damn that looks good

[alen]

Wow you rolled the crap out of those! Can you go lower???

I can and definitely will, probably about .5-1in lower.
Spent about 8hrs for the two rears, making sure the paint doesn't crack. defnitely time consuming but i'm glad of the outcome.

cant wait to see more pics...

[Jibberific]

looks amazing!!

but is there still a crease on the fender where the small vertical lip used to be, or is the flared part all smoothed out?

[quattro16]

What did you do about the fender linner??

[A4Rob]

Post more pics of those wheels. You have not been here on the zine in ages!

[BrokeDown[20V]]

Keep up the good work. Hopefully you can make it to some of the northeast shows this season comming up?

Id love to see this car in person.

There is no crease. I was amazed that I could've smoothed it out.

That mofo is gone.. or at least a big chunk of it. I'll remember to take pics of it this weekend. Won't hurt if a lot of it is missing, would it?

I know! I've been here over the past year just lurking around. Not that I've lost the mod bug but just haven't had time to work on the car.

Keep up the good work. Hopefully you can make it to some of the northeast shows this season comming up?

Tx. I'd love to come up there. I feel bad for missing out on H2O, but next year should be a good year for shows.

Thanks guys for the comments. I will work some more on them this weekend to straighten them out some more. In person they look even, however the lighting can make them look uneven.

I'd finish the fronts, but don't know how much poke I'll have since I don't have the tires yet. Anybody hav 225/40/18 Dunlop SP Sportmaxx for sale?

Btw, here's a before and after shot:





And a wheel shot:

I'd love to do this for the spring, but I know I'd screw it up badly.....very well done

[RodMan]

do you have a full picture of your car? really nice

[alen]

Sorry guys for not doing this earlier. We went for some photoshooting during Christmas and my lazy friend uploaded pictures not too long ago.

Here are some full shots. I'm still trying to work on the fenders, as I can only work on them during weekends but I've been discouraged lately (for some reason) to do so. Plus I know I will lower it some more.























Sorry for pic whoring.

[oneohone]

So so sexy!

[LowSantorin]

Looks Good! when you get a chance/finish you should get some close up shots of the rolling!

[boostedup]

REALLY feeling the step-lip rims, AND with the stretched tires AND fenders..........

Keep it up man.

[flynnr]

great looking car! i remember reading this thread a while ago, nice to see new pics up again

i dont feel like re reading this whole thread, but did you say something about not liking tint? or was that someone else, idk, but i think a mild 30% tint would add the finishing touch. just my opinion though, your car is tight as hell so you probably know what you want to do with it ha

[JumboBlack1.8]

Just excellent. Lookin real good....What the width and offset of those rear wheels? I need to know if I should roll my rear fenders for my summer setup...

[jstdoit1112]

looks great

[AEB A4]

Looks really good. Like you said, just needs to be a bit lower. Any rubbing in the back even at that height?

[alen]

the rear is 10" but the offset is 19mm.

when I go over some bumps on the road, it will definitely rub, but i believe it's off of the liner (in the rear).
front will definitely sometimes rub off of fender if i'm aggressive.

[BLK_A4]

Damn! you did a really good job!!! super clean!

[AudiTurbo]

WOW!!!! That's all I can say

[pipe7284]

I like!!!!

[TMorris]

Any pics of the MKIV Jettas bay? Looks clean in that one pic.

[bbkid43]
