Default Painting my car

Ok so after I get my engine down I want to do some body work. I love the B6 look but I dont think that it looksaggressive enough. My first idea was to just color match the lowers and get some 18s(maybe black with chrome lip). Than I was thinking of painting the mirrors black for some contrast. My big thing is that should I color match and keep it stock or go with one of these bummers. I need some suggestions.

I love aftermarket front bumpers on A4s. I really like that first one actually, although if you like more aggresive looks, I can see you liking the last two better. All look good though and all will show off your FMIC better.

Stock color matched is a nice upgrade to the look. New bumper etc looks modified (and better IMO). It sounds like you will be happier with some new body parts instead of color matching stock parts.

The 1st one used to be my favorite but now I think that #2 is.

I just ordered a shortblock from QED for $3500. That is with delivery. It was going to be about 1000 less but I upgraded to better rods and pistons. My next step is head work and then choosing a turbo. Check out vortex and their 1.8t forum its a whole different world over there. If sound systems is your thing man go for it. I just want to shutup the asain market and do it in style. They think thier sh@# dont stink
