Ha ha. Yeah, well I knew it was vinyl, I was more trying to confirm that the white was indeed matte.

Either way, looks great.

Very cool! I don't have a lot of experience with vinyl, is it tough to do this type of thing?

**Phillyb7s4** · 02-08-2011 08:48 AM

Tony, it looks great.

It's taken two guys about 3.5 days to finish it all up, so it's definitely a labor intensive process... I wouldn't want to do it myself!

Thanks Charlie, I'm stoked on a little change. I think I'm going to do satin black wheels and paint my Stoptech's the same yellow as the car. Should be fun!

**ColinAndrews** · 02-08-2011 09:59 AM

Put gold mesh wheels on your white widebody please...PLEASE!

**CCA4** · 02-08-2011 11:42 AM

Should make for a nice change for sure. How long are you planning on keeping the look?

Ehhh, no thanks. Not that I don't like that look, I just don't think I could rock it. LOVE E46 M3's that use the same combo though.

I'll keep the look for awhile, or until I sell it. The car is still technically for sale, just still having fun with it

**CARTEL** · 02-08-2011 08:17 PM

Brought my friends RS4 over to my house to do a carbon trim swap today:

... Coolest thing about the trim swap? I got the Piano Black!

**CARTEL** · 02-08-2011 10:26 PM

More progress on my car:

**kneel** · 02-08-2011 10:44 PM

^ looks really good. i vote... new shoes for snow white!

**CZA420tAvant** · 02-09-2011 03:17 AM

I just swapped out all of my interior lights for LEDs and also did my license plate lights to LEDs as well.

NO BULB OUT WARNING! All thanks to sonic tuning.

**CCA4** · 02-09-2011 05:45 AM

You B6+ guys have bulb out warnings for the license plate lights? I've had 2 B5's and the warnings on both were limited to head/tail lights. Got my V/C gasket and magnetic oil pan drain plug in the mail yesterday, ordered the wrong drain plug by mistake

. If anyone can use the smaller one(14x1.5), PM me your address and I'll drop it in the mail.

+1. Needs more contrast now - something really aggressive

Can't speak for the B6, but the B7 throws a warning on almost everything. The interior lights are the only exception I found. All exterior lights throw an error.

**CARTEL** · 02-09-2011 09:25 PM

Finished... for now. I'm going to get the bumpers redone as they're not perfect yet.

New wheels and painted calipers on the way too.

**bryzf1** · 02-09-2011 09:40 PM

Oh so pretty!

**kneel** · 02-10-2011 08:21 AM

Tony - what are you gonna do with the Thule Box? Wrap that too? The white looks sick on there.

**SoCalS4Avant** · 02-10-2011 08:51 AM

OOOOO MMMMM GGGGGG

I love it...as if I couldn't have loved the yellow any more, this white is fantastic.

**bryzf1** · 02-11-2011 03:42 PM

I de-badged the back hatch today!

Haha... Thanks. Good eye, it is Suzuka Grey.

**CCA4** · 02-11-2011 05:21 PM

Looks absolutely SICK Bryan!

Man, every time I see your car I die a little bit inside because I don't have one.

Simply stunning Bryan!

Thanks Tony. Instead of converting a b7 avant to an RS4, you need to buy a C6 and do the conversion to that instead!

Not gonna lie, I like the white more than the yellow! You're making me miss my white B6 :(

Man, I'd love to, but my marriage and conversions don't seem to mix. I'm watching a couple investments that could do pretty well in the next month; if they do I'll start thinking about importing a C6 RS6.

Very cool. Are you going to document the install of the meth? I'd like to do that next.

**CCA4** · 02-13-2011 09:48 AM

Changed my V/C gasket yesterday, turns out that magnetic oil drain plug i bought actually IS the right size lol.

**naiku** · 02-14-2011 09:50 AM

Nice day outside, so on my lunchbreak I installed ECS clear sidemarkers, looks much better on the white than the stock orange ones. I broke a clip on the orange ones taking them off, but unlikely they will ever go back on, so no big deal.

**CCA4** · 02-15-2011 04:50 PM

Put on some Thule roof bars and bike racks. Got the load bars, towers, 2 bike racks, lock cylinders, and keys for $100

Pics to follow when its bright enough tomorrow.

**Saracen** · 02-15-2011 05:48 PM

Today, I cursed at my Avant as it continued to leak oil.

Looks like the rear main seal. Sigh

**Cornercarver82** · 02-15-2011 07:06 PM

I washed mine today

**coldshoturs6** · 02-15-2011 08:25 PM

Anyone know why it won['t let me post pictures?

**SoCalS4Avant** · 02-16-2011 09:10 AM

How are you trying to post/where are you posting pics from?

**naiku** · 02-16-2011 09:36 AM

Not yet, but after work I need to pull my drivers side door card off to see why my speaker is not working. I hit a pot hole the other day that caused my amp to go into protect mode, since then the drivers side mid has not worked. Hoping that a wire just popped off and nothing more.

**Audi Skate Snow** · 02-16-2011 10:37 AM

Last night I put the motor back together, threw on a new fx400 240mm clutch kit and put the engine back in the car. gonna wire it up tonight.
