I am looking to replace my totaled 1999.5 audi a4 2.8qm. I have been looking around for a 1.8t and found this. The owner is a fellow audi enthusiast and has made a few upgrades. Let me know what you think, all help is appreciated. Thanks

 

Doesn't look bad. First thing to do would be to paint the rest of the lower door moldings to flow withthe front bumper. I'd say go take a look in person and have it inspected.

 

I would say the first thing to do is to get a new euro plate...even if you are latino...

 

Just remove the Euro plate, and paint the lowers asap.

Anyway, I would have no problem paying the 8,500 for that if he took as great of care as he says and has proof as did the original owner. So if you can get that car for $7000 as you posted, I would definitely be interested. Give him a call and inspect the car.. or if you're not sure what to look for, get it inspected if possible.

 

yeah, if you can get the car for 7g, i would do it. thats of course after you inspect it yourself.

 

How hard is it to paint the lowers and get the colors right? also, are those rs4 bumpers and wheels (is the center coverpiece missing on the wheel?) Thanks

 

i would be all over that! for 7gs and youll be happy with thous mods for a good year...to paint the lowers there are numerous DIY on this site and its cheap! if you dont like the front bumper ill trade you for stock

 

Painting the lowers your self shouldn't be that difficult, there's a write up on here somewhere. The center caps are missing on the wheels, the bumper isn't OEM but is styled after the RS4. True OEM RS4s are widebody and to do a true conversion is pretty pricey.

 

Those wheels are the stock OEM 17s for the '01 model year witht the sport package. Nice wheels, but not aftermarket. Also the HyperGunMetal finish looks exactly like the graphite wheel paint that I have mine painted. So, BS on the $700 wheel thing.
Other than the wheel fiasco, car looks great and the price is right! Check for dead pixel lines in the dash, though. Those can be bothersome.

 

uuuuhhhhh.....he is getting rid of it for an M3 convertable.....??? i guess the red paint matched his flaming homo personality..."LATINLOVER"!!! haha, i had my whole class laughing at that first picture!
