**Operator** · 12-24-2012 02:37 PM

**SykoraA4** · 12-24-2012 03:01 PM

thats the long term plan.

**tankdeer** · 12-24-2012 04:28 PM

I like Will. Jealous of your snow too

**SykoraA4** · 12-24-2012 04:34 PM

yeah, it came out of nowhere. it was supposed to be frozen rain. snowtires have come in handy too, I've already pulled one neighbor out of a ditch.

**mec** · 12-24-2012 04:36 PM

Colorado FTW! head out here, half of the b7 builds started here!.....probably

**yungcotter** · 12-24-2012 04:40 PM

God if we get any of that weather im fucked. Im on bald DWS's I've worn past the d even and the outer edge looks like slicks.

**DRAKLORE** · 12-24-2012 09:30 PM

I'm glad you didn't sell, iirc you were considering selling it?

**LoKisSpYdR** · 12-24-2012 09:49 PM

Will LOVE the car. Is you maryland/euro plate custom? Have cops given u shit for it? I want one badly.
Thanks.

**SykoraA4** · 12-26-2012 10:04 AM

came close to selling it, but decided to hold off for the moment. ha plus a brz would have sucked balls in the snow. I don't think im ready to give up AWD just yet. The europlate with any state flag can be found online, and for the most part i haven't gotten any flack for it. a warning once, but that was over on the eastern shore, and i have a feeling that officer was pretty bored...

**Avant4me** · 12-26-2012 11:15 AM

looks good. if you decide to sell after winter i'll trade you my OEM sline front for your RS4 front :D

wow! thought that photo's headlights were photoshopped, haha.
any plans for spring/summer mode?

**SykoraA4** · 03-02-2013 06:40 PM

new wheels and getting the retrofited lights back in there too. maybe crank it down a little bit, and a temp sensor. we will see.

**wildcat333** · 03-02-2013 08:07 PM

Crank down = moar low?
Or talking about headlight angle?

**AKO** · 03-02-2013 08:48 PM

Your retrofits look amazing! Definitely what im going for! you said you got the shrouds on ebay?

**SykoraA4** · 03-03-2013 10:06 AM

more low. and yep, ebay for the shrouds, although phil has a few sets too for a better price.

**SykoraA4** · 03-17-2013 09:20 PM

How toast is this cam?

**Clown4** · 06-02-2013 07:31 PM

**SykoraA4** · 06-02-2013 07:44 PM

**A4 Effort** · 06-02-2013 07:50 PM

**AKO** · 06-02-2013 09:10 PM

Did you keep the retrofits?

**SykoraA4** · 06-03-2013 06:50 AM

i still have the retrofited lights, halfway assembled. They'll be in the classifieds soon.

**GodFatherMav03** · 06-19-2013 08:13 AM

Hey, Everyone!!
I'm new to the B7s and currently new owner of this awesome wagon!
I Had a B6 A4 and got rear ended on Rt. 270S and pushed into a work van. Car ended up being totaled. I had significant upgrades done to it and wanted something comparable to what I had so the wagon matched up!
Been talking to Will and with his permission I plan on continuing this thread. Ill be posting some pics up soon.
I got rid of the winter wheels and put the powder coated 17" wheels I had on my B6 on the wagon....looks a lot better....Got some plans for this ride after some general maintenance is taken care of.

**GodFatherMav03** · 06-20-2013 06:31 AM

Here are some pics for ya!!!

**SykoraA4** · 06-20-2013 06:47 AM

Looking good. I'm really glad it will still be around!

**GodFatherMav03** · 06-20-2013 10:04 AM

thanks man...I'll be taking really good care of it.

**GodFatherMav03** · 06-25-2013 06:45 AM

**Operator** · 06-25-2013 07:04 AM

Find an OEM set or retrofit Hids.

**GodFatherMav03** · 06-25-2013 07:09 AM

really don't want to spend booku bux on headlights rather spend the big coin on performance mods

Unfortunately on this forum if you don't go OEM or do a nice retrofit you will get flamed. I was able to piece together my OEM bi-xenons for around $600. Ebay is your friend.

**GodFatherMav03** · 06-25-2013 07:32 AM

Had the same style LED headlights on my B6 A4 and never got flamed...I got mad props though....I use Ebay all the time but $600....ehhh rather use that to get exhaust or something more useful

**A-BlacK_MambA-4** · 06-25-2013 07:42 AM

Lol you haven't been in the B7 A4 section long enough then... Just giving you fair warning man

And $600 is pretty good considering you see sets in the classifieds going for anywhere from $800-$1200. I've saw too many threads where something goes wrong with those ebay LED style headlights and I'm sure as you are aware replacement parts for them are damn near impossible to find. Just keep OEM and retrofit in mind is all I'm saying.

Nice retrofit project just recently completed:
