Dannydyn's Build (AKA screw it, I'm keeping the car so it's time to MOD!) thread...

[Dannydyn]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I've accidentally curbed both my back wheels but, neither are even half that bad.

When I switch out to my winter set I will be getting them repaired and powder coated

Yup, that's exactly my plan as well!

I have similar mods.

This totally blows bro!

I did it to mine twice in the last 4 weeks. Only one wheel though (rear passenger). AG said I could get a custom one painted and sent to me for around $500.

I got a quote from a local shop.... $600 to refinish all 4. I'll just have to live with this eyesore for now, and tackle this project when I switch to winters.

Just finished a 7 hour detailing session...

- Wash
- Clay bar
- Manzerna 2500 cutting polish
- Manzerna PL Finishing lock
- Chemical Guys Butter Wet wax

The messy lab...



Like glass!

Had to take her for a spin around town

Now you need a ceramic coating so you don't have to do that anymore. Looks good though.

Are you leaving the mirror caps aluminum? I have a deep sea blue pearl S5, which looks similar to estoril in certain lighting. And i have been kicking around the idea of getting my trim done in black. I already have the all black RS5 grille as well. That would leave the front bottom lip aluminum and the mirror caps. I think it will still look good to break up everything. Just curious what you are doing. There is always the option of getting carbon mirror caps but they are $400 for a nice fitting set from ECS, which is steep for what they really are. I mean its just for looks.

Also not sure if i missed it, but did you do satin black or gloss?

Thanks. Definitely leaving the mirrors as is. The aluminum mirrors are signature mark of the S line.

Used a gloss vinyl.

[Matthew_VA]

Cold start... ☺

That sounds pretty darn awesome--sorry for stating the obvious!

[Vanimal]

Thanks Danny I was on the fence wether to use gloss or satin. I originally thought satin would match the black windshield trim better that's on each side. But I thought gloss would look nice as well.

I'd probably leave the mirrors as well although you can get S4's with body painted mirrors if you get the black optic package from the factory.

I chose to use gloss because of simple personal preference. I think it looks better. The BO package is gloss finish as well.

As for the mirrors, the fact the mirrors come in body color WAS the reason why I didn't want it.

Seeing the curbed rims hurts, but otherwise you have a great looking car man.

That's weird. Every B8.5 S4 with black optics that I've seen has gloss trim.

Thanks bud. You need an aftermarket exhaust to pair up with your cool looking whip.
