Looks great!

I amcurious about your wheel/tire setup and what suspension mods you've done. I've been trying to decide if I want to go lower on my car, or if I just need 18s/19s to make the wells look more filled.

More details please!

Damn, very clean ride. I LOVE it!! Whats the size of those wheels and what kind of drop is that?

the wheels are 19x9.5 on 265 30 19 tires the trick with the 4.2s is to get a 3 piece wheel or to find a one piece wheel with the proper offset for the widebody. i have seen several 4.2s with with wheels with the wrong offset and i think it looks horrible. even with spacers most 19" 5x112 one piece wheels are to narrow for the 4.2.i have h&r full coilovers and thats it, for the suspension. it still has plenty of room to go lower.
i will lower the back a bit more once i get my stereo stuff in

i like the accents on the bottoms of the doors that the 4.2 n teh s6s have vs teh skinnier smaller less noticable ones my 2.7t has ... i was thinking about fiberglassing some but if i can order them from audi direct and they will fit itll beat screwin around with fiberglass ... does anyone know if they will fit?

I got the 4.2 door blades, they fit with no problems, bolt right on. YOu can get them for 290-300 for the set of 4.
No need to do fiberglass pieces.
Don't get them from Audi, they'll rip you off. ECS tuning sells them or clairparts for 290...

Hey
I think you should lower it to get the right look, especially since you want the wells to look more filled.

how do i remove the old door blades ...do i have to take the door panel inside off?

formulagigi
02-21-2008, 08:22 AM
NO removing door panels or anything. The blades are attached to the door with two small screws each, which are located inside the door but BELOW the interior panel, near where the door meets the door seal.
Remove each screw, holding the blades flat, slide them to remove them.
There is a write up with pics on AW. Took me 30 minutes b/c two took a little bit of elbow grease. Easy mod.
Just get the S6/4.2 blades and get them painted and pop them on! You might be able to get used ones on line on Shokan.com or Ebay or forum.... But new they are right under $300.
