New Avant Introduction!

[Robb12]

Hey guys, I just wanted to share the Avant I've recently picked up. Coming from a 2005.5 b7 A4 Sedan, I've been hunting for an Avant for a little over a year now and finally found my preferred options. Sold mine, picked this up a day later and couldn't be happier. I'm open to suggestions as far as mods go as well

Here's a current list of mods:
Apikol Front Snub Mount
10mm Front + Back Wheel Spacers
Bilstein Sport Shocks
Eibach Sport Springs
RAI HFC
Techtonics downpipe + exhaust
Integrated Engineering HPFP
Integrated Engineering PCV Valve Delete
Integrated Engineering Stage 1 ECU Flash

And onto the pictures - sorry if the quality isn't top notch, these were just barely taken in my work parking lot









I'm not sure if I'm going to CC + Joey Mod the headlights, along with paint-match the front reflectors quite yet. I might keep the stock look for now. I might plan on debadging the rear along with A8 rings but haven't decided on that yet either but again, I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks for looking - I'm incredibly happy to be a part of the Avant crew!

Nice Titanium Pkg Avant! Welcome!

Congrats! Super jealous of the Ti package. I looked for months but had to settle for a regular 6spd avant :-)

Nice lookin ride congrats on the Ti 6MT pick-up with a nice list of mods already. How many miles? ...kinda surprised that it has the supporting mods for stage 2, but not the tune.

Since you're looking for suggestions, here's a few small things I would do right away:

Boost gauge.

Black out those chrome strips on the filler plate.

Light window tint.

Color match the front reflectors, but leave the headlights.

Debadge and A8 rings.

Cupra R lip.

Address that front rake somehow.

Enjoy your new avant, see you around the forums!

Thanks for the suggestsions! I've always loved the look of your avant and I'm not surprised you'd suggest keeping the amber in the headlights It's growing on me as well tbh

It's barely at 105k miles, the guy I previously bought it from works for Integrated Engineering (right down the street from where I live) and was getting it all ready for Stage 2 but they don't have a Stg2 file so he recommended on going with Unitronic - we'll see. I'm happy with the power it puts out for now but may be itching for more soon.

I'm not totally sure how to address the front rake - to be honest it doesn't bother me that much since it's level, but I'm definitely used to being lower (my fiancée is also happy with the higher stance). I want to get 19" wheels too, maybe rotors or peelers, but not sure how it'll look without being slammed.

Tint is definitely on its way, here in Utah I think we're only allowed to go 50% on the fronts so that's most likely what it'll be all the way around as I don't like having different shades throughout the car. Same goes with the front reflectors, I have a shop that will mix the paint for me. I thought about keeping the chrome strips on the filler plate but think I'll go black soon.

As for A8 rings, anybody know the cheapest place to pick those up? I saw Genuineaudiparts raised the price to around $52... Looking to see if they're cheaper anywhere else.

Ebay is a good source

They have chrome ones as well if you are looking for those

Looks like I'm only able to find 7.6" rings whereas people on the forums are saying A8 rings are 8.5" - maybe 7.6" is the size of b8 A4 rings; can anyone confirm this? If so I might get those as it's still a slight upgrade

[Samsonite]

I have a spare unused set of genuine Audi A8 rings (bought 2 but only ended up putting on one of my Avants) ... let me measure them for you and you can buy them off me if ya want.

Thanks man! Keep me updated and feel free to PM me

Congratulations! Love that color. I have a B7 A4 S Line with the Titanium package and love it. Big fan of the Avants too. Enjoy and if you ever need anything be sure to let me know. :)
