A4 (B5-B7) Front bumper / grille conversion PROJECT
i love the look of the widebody and want to somewhat follow that, but i think i also want to eliminate some of the distinct lines left from it and blend it in to be smooth as if it was pulled that way.
Well, I guess there's no turning back now...i chopped the hood last night and TEMPORARILY mounted the hood extension. I welded together a subframe within my new bumper which is surprisingly strong! Also welded on a plate on each fender for mounting. My brother used his tap/dye kit for the mounts on each side and now i wont have to deal with Audi's strange stock mounting system on the side of their bumpers. I'll clean the bumper up a bit today and maybe start to mold that extension in.








I took this side profile mostly because of the Maserati in the background haha...but you can also see the profile the hood extension has and how easily it can be molded into the rest of the hood.
just took it off the rack, plus it's sitting on stock springs still....I'm working on the air ride setup very soon thats why i'm not lowering it yet. This thing never really leaves the house too often now days so nobody will have to see how strange it sits up. And i really want to start/finish the fender flaring while its up in the air a bit.
BAhhhh I like yet something is not right. might be the ride height or the fact I know its a B5! Get rid of the orange turns! I'm super excited to see this go on. I showed the pics to my body man (father-in-law) and he told me where I could shove the idea. Keep us posted <3 it!
