    Thumbs up Quick photo shoot of my Glacier White C7

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So, I am by no means, a pro photographer... But i did get a DSLR for my birthday a few months back, so I thought I would give it a shot and take some nice pictures of my car


    Window Tint is 20%, but the black headliner makes it look even darker... No major plans any time soon (even though I am notorious for modding the hell out of my cars)

    I am shopping for a 20" OEM style wheel.. just haven't made a firm decision yet... Leaning in a few directions (RS6, S5 or RS4 wheel), preferably in a gunmetal tone.

    Let me know what you think!

    Glacier White / Black
    18" Sport Package
    LED Headlights
    Cold Weather
    Aluminum Trim
    Black Headliner

    love the new a6. they are absolutely stunning to look at, but since i haven't had a chance to drive it yet, i'm just gonna assume it is just as nice to drive.
    i also love the s5 five spoke rims. do it.

    pretty small world... I usually go there, lately their quality has been slacking... All my cars were lowered/modded... so its the only car wash, aside from doing it myself

    I just took delivery last week. First Audi for me, loving it... but hoping I don't go crazy (as usual).. Would like to keep it close to stock...

    I actually was looking at your ride, and was hoping to ask you... Are those RS4 wheels OEM or Replicas? Looked real sharp.

    So I'm not the only one that noticed, they seem to have gotten lazy. I got their monthly plan because it definitely beats washing the car out in the cold. When it finally gets to be steady warm I cancel the plan and wash it myself.

    Congrats on the first Audi, I really like the A6, haven't looked at it much at the dealer at first but now it's growing on me....
    Close to stock? Hah, let me know how that works out for you =P My car got its first mod before my temporary tags were up =O

    The wheels are OEM RS4 ET29 but custom powder-coated. Just put them on like a day or two ago. They have a much more aggressive look due to offset and are real concave. I love them, but need to adjust my rear camber, you might of seen but it hits the damn fender lol

    Haven't seen them on any newer Audi's though, at least not the OEM because you would need to modify the wheel

    on the color and car, congrats =)..looks really nice and love how the 4 rings shine in the first picture.

    I don't know how much you plan on modding the car, but yes a new set of wheels would look nice along with probably a drop?

    Have you thought of debadging the rear to give it a cleaner look?

    I have debadged every car I own... usually within a week of getting them... not sure yet on the A6... i might ditched the 3.0T Quattro emblems on the right, and replace with a red or CF "Supercharged" badge.... just thinking... I cant believe I've only had the car for 9 days, and already fiending to mod it... i just cant drive stock cars

    i thought maybe if i put a really, really nice car, i would leave it stock....nope i'll just a super nice, modded car

    and yes, H&R OE Springs and wheels will come... i hope I can wait until next spring, but we'll see

    Afternoon Audi Family,

    I was referred to Audizine through my dealer, obviously new to the site.

    With that out of the way, I am hoping to find where in California (Bay Area) or the Internet I can purchase high performance brakes Calipers and rotors (ie Brembo) Also Trying to find a site that has Front Grilles. 2012 A6 3.0 Prestige S-line. All help is needed at this point, I have done the internet search with no luck for the year of my car..

    Thanks for the Help.

    ^ chances are, Stasis will make something. It appears they are working on a BBK (Big Brake Kit) for the A7, which is identical parts to the A6 (at least, on the prestige model)

    I don't know about the 2012 much, but when I called Brembo a couple months ago about a BBK for a 2011 they told me that they still don't have one yet. I would contact a StopTech dealer as they also have BBK's and StaSiS, although I know StaSiS is kind of on the expensive side.
