Lower it and get different wheels.
Those wheels are

[greensto]

That color probably looks amazing in the sun. I want to see some pics of the "sport edition boot lid"

[stil]

its got standard s-line lower suspension - what springs can i get to get it lower (only front)
im gonna get the rims powder coated (dont know off colour at the moment) but when budget permits, i will like to put 19inch gunmetal rs6 reps

[stil]

the colour is extremely awesome in the sun, ill take a pic when the weather here decides to clear up
sports edition boot lid is a boot lid with an intergrated boot spoiler thing - extremely subtle (ill post pic)

[Erocko]

Looks sick, great color. Yeah, get some coil-overs and lower it a bit.

Man, all I can think of when I think nice cars and South Africa, is about Lucky Dube. Sad stuff. Be careful over there.

[Quattro2.0]

I've never even heard of this color. Looks amazing though.

[ItsThat2.0T]

I like the wheels a lot actually. Just lower it as others have said.

[LimiTed]

can you post pics of your interior please? i wanna see what the alcantra looks like. and the exterior color is tits.

[TooLow2.0T]

Post more pics! We don't have that color option in the U.S. It's only available on the A3 here unless you special order.

I don't think the wheels are bad either.

[jriddle11]

I love that color! I also like the wheels!

You cannot just lower the front. Buy some H&R springs.

[Latin Audi]

Those wheels are sick Def want to see this color in the light. Welcome to the zine!

[Sharkfin]

yeah post more pics! I want to see this color pop, lookin good so far

[nycmalu]

First of all, welcome to Audizine TAKE MORE PICS AND PUT THEM UP!

Second, I think the color is sick, and I am liking the rims. Just drop it as people have mentioned and I think it will look a LOT better. There are always going to be some people who don't like your style, and others who do. Bottom line, just do whatever makes you happy.

As an aside, MOFSTEEL, what is your opinion on what is wrong with his wheels? Just curious. They're not the standard RS4 reps that everyone and their mother has

Other than them looking cheap and not flowing with the lines of the car nothing.
Any wheel is better than Rs4 reps though.

So you mean; the wheels are CHEAP like you and does not flow like your posts - behaviours dont flow with AZ .. And than yes, yu are so right!

Everytime you try to break someones heart but since you are A FAT æ$$ it does not work..

Peace

[stil]

Thanks for the comments everybody
makes me happy getting comments from people like you okes that have such awesome cars
@mofsteel - you right, the rims are CHEAP, in sa it costs R2000 (ie $205 for the set). a decent set of 19s here R15000 (ie $1500) so in saying that, thats all i could afford for now
@kemiksiz - take it easy dude, public forums are open to everybodys opinion - but thanks for trying to defend me. To mod/custom a car in SA is a expensive task so we gotta do it slowly

the weather is clearing up so i go give the car a meguiars car wash and take some pics

[cecaa]

Very cool color!

the wheels look consistant with your car, as long as you don't tint everything black.
the contrast of silver/black of the wheels matches your car pretty well.

[Peter@VMRWheels]

Looking good!

[JRMSLINEA4]

Cool car sucks that your b7 still has the old 1.8T. The S-line grille is a must do!

[Spiff69]

Yeah, I'm super jealous of that color!

[sakimano]

sucks that your b7 still has the old 1.8T

Dude...it's not America...they have like 7 engine choices compared to the 2 on the North American spec A4. He CHOSE 1.8T.

What sucks is that North Americans are subjected to shitty selection because Californians are enviro******s. That's what sucks. The engine selection afforded US and Canadian buyers is severely crippled by California emission standards and by strange US buying habits. Euro spec cars had at least 3 diesel engines and 3 petrol engines for B7 + S4 Avant/Sedan/Convertible+ RS4 Avant/Sedan/Convertible
we got 2.0T/3.2/S4 Sedan+Avant/RS4 Sedan...SUCKS!

here, on the B8 we'll see
2.0T Sedan/Avant
3.2 Sedan only
S4 V6T sedan only

now THAT sucks

[Snap-on]

Put new wheels in the to do list and get rid of the 4x4 stance.

Sorry did not know that.

[sakimano]

Sorry did not know that.

let's complain to audi! we need diesels

[muffinman]

Welcome to AZ stil... you have a good attitude and thick skin, you'll need it to survive here

The lava grey color looks great... but I'm going to have to agree with MOFSTEEL, those wheels were a waste of money. You'd probably have been better off saving the $205 towards buying nicer rims.

I don't hate them because they're cheap, but because they look like rims that belong on a '96 kitted out Civic In the end, it's your car so do whatever floats your boat

In my opinion.. a nice drop + new rims = good to go

[AudiWxGuy]

who is in that pic in your avatar? is that from step brothers?

[muffinman]

who is in that pic in your avatar? is that from step brothers?

hahah, if you're referring to derek, no. it's the douche driving the bmw from the audi "commercial"

step brothers was awesome though

sorry for the threadjack

[Kemiksiz]

Thanks for the laugh Kemiksiz.
Maybe you should try reading his original post where it says...
"comments and suggestions (good or bad)appreciated "
$205 for a set of wheels? I was right, cheap.
They look like a $205 set of wheels.

dude,

I'm just POINTING your style, not the ingrident of your comments. I have the common idea that they r np-ot pretty good BUT your style is like " you have the worst rims in the world, got get them installed in ur ass " or kşnda.. Its not right, if you have somethng to say negative, you should be more human being and polite.. Thats the POINT .. And I'm not talking just for this topic, I see this behaviour very commonly in a lot of topic..

But of course if you like to behave like an a$$, its thanks god not my problem

not at all for the laugh, I prefer to make people laugh in replace to hurt them .. huh?

[stil]

thanks for all the comments (good and bad)
as for my cheapy rims, im gonna get them powder coated (wife scratched them) so hopefully that will transform them abit. i dig them and they are gonna stay until i can afford something better
im getting luminX yellow tints for the spots and gonna install the cupra lip.
doing some enquires about h&r locally
as for the motor, yeah its the old golf 4 1.8t but mine is up to about 150 - 160 kws and she really flys. no emission laws here
in SA the b7 line started with 2.0 (96kw), 1.8t (120kw), 2.0T(147kw), 3.2(188kw), RS4 (309kw). The 1.8t was by choice
the car has a s-line grill standard
laters

[ThatGuyAlex]

Lower it and get different wheels.
Those wheels are

You sir are an asshole. You must be the rudest and dumbest mother ****** in this forum. Honestly. When you go to Audi shows do you let people know what your screen name is? I hope not, cause then everyone would talk shit about you! You need a girlfriend to love you or something.

[Geoffafa]

i like the wheels and color, looks like a bad ass car, just slam it to hell lol


welcome to the crack we now know as the zine

[nimski62]

You need a girlfriend to love you or something.

HAHAHA i rem saying this to him once...

[Pete4 1.8t]

Geez! This is a most interesting thread!

The car looks great, the wheels might not be to everyone's taste but I don't think they look bad at all. I just want to see some more pictures of the car out in the sun and of the interior!

[stil]

okay hold up gentlemen
i respect everybodys opinion and besides i asked for comments good or bad
i dont think its cool picking on fellow audi lovers, besides we all share the same interest
im new to the audi family and always thought us to be deserning drivers and different from the rest. I hope this tread doesnt go pear shaped because of disagreedments (its a public forum and i think we are all entitled to our own opinion)
i look up to all you okes cos youll have some wicked audis and hope my car to look half as hot, so enough with the rude comments and remarks at each other.
so with that out of the way, i took afew pics of the car (forgive me if the pics are not too great - my camera phone is not the greatest and the digital is abit messed up)
but here goes

colour up close

sport edition/addition boot lid

another trying to show the colour

the front

the sport seats (black leather and alcantara)

more interior


thats it with the pics for now, if there is any others that you okes want to see, let me know and ill snap some up

Question: is the ashtray and gear surround supposed to be silver to match the silver inlays?

thanks

[Sharkfin]

As for the trim pieces, yes they are the same in US models. I love those seats

[stil]

thanks nsmith12, those are the standard seats on the sport package with No Cost option with the alcantara.
some people ask why the car has cloth on the seats (never heard of alcantara)

[Great White]

Nice car man, wheels are fine, just lower it some. I'm curious how much did it cost? (in US$)

[stil]

it rands after a major discount was R275k
convert to US$ would be about $28k
