Default All-Road flares

Anyone know if the dimensions are close to A4 wheel wells?
ThisB6 All-Road made me want them:

Plus I've been itching to hit bags for awhile and these would accomidate my flush wheels nicely by allowing me to roll the hell out of my fenders.

I drove an allroad yesterday and i'm pretty sure they'd be WAY too big. Like height-wise they might work but even on the allroad the diameter of the tire is way small in comparison, the wells aren't really filled up

On a b5 the fenders are smaller than the b6 (or whatever the hell the allroad is) and they'd just look disproportionate because an allroad is much larger of a car than our wagons

If you ask me you shouldn't really mess with the appearance of your avant anyway... it's good enough right now and i'm almost disappointed in you for taking the rails off [8D]

You should see my taillights too.
AND my headliner.


A lot of people don't like the dumped look, but I love it.

I'll keep searching for some flares. There must be Something out there I can nab them from. Don't particularly want to go RS4; already know people that have done that.

2 weeks! www.masontech.com Will prob be around 1500 for the bags on struts, and another 800 or so for the compressor, tank, valves, lines, fittings, and switches!
I'm saving up.

There's nothing wrong with daily driving a bagged car, just have to keep up on maintanence. You can lift the car over stock height or scrape ground with the touch of a button. Also, Mason-Tech designs their bag systems to compete with coilovers, as far as performance is concerned.
If you don't maintain your system, expect to end up stuck in a parking lot with your fenders stuck on your tires.
If you don't maintain your motor oil level, expect to end up stuck on the side of the highway with a seized motor.
