Default Sleek b5 Body's ? Are there any ??

I know I know...

I have looked on Google and Yahoo for pics of a sleek b5 audi a4 and there is only middling pictures. I want to know before I get a b5 if I am able to make it look as nice as a b6.

Can you help me find some ?

Is your car a b5 and are u pleased with it ?

Thanks


Vito

Very odd question.

What do you mean "sleek"?
"....to make it look like as nice as a B6." Huh??

A B5 is a B5 - A B6 is a B6 - period.

I'm not sure what you want to accomplish.

Well the b5 just looks like...well..... not as good as the b6. I want to possibly lower it and put some low profile rims/tires on it.

I want a b5 to almost *at first glance* to look like a b6 to the untrained eye

OK... first of all, don't call them rims - they're wheels!! Rims are for JDM ricers and early American cars.

Secondly, you can lower the B5 and easily mount put 18 inch wheels; 19 inch wheels are a gray area - some will fit on lowered B5's while others won't.

Lastly, unless you plan on changing the front end (bumper, grill, lights, etc.) and the rear (bumper, taillights, trunk lid and fenders), the B5 will never, ".... look like a b6 to the untrained eye". Sorry.

B5 bodys are all of the Audis (a4) that came before i think 2001. b6 is everything else after

Just look at the difference between the body of a 1997 or 98 and a 2004

You should see a big difference..

The Audi A4 platform is referred to as the "B" series. The B6 is the latest version of the A4 platform. My 2000 S4 is a B5 (see my avatar).

Not exactly...
There are B3's and B4's. It's all dependent on the years of production.

If you don't like the B5 why don't you just buy a B6?
