I haven't gotten my fines in the mail though so I dunno how much money I want to spend. still haven't decided if I wanna raise it for the winter or not.
I'm assuming you didn't post the amounts of the fines because you want it to be kept private, but I'm going to ask anyway; how much? Also I think you should raise your car for the winter to take full advantage of the quattro and have some fun. I say looks for the summer, practicality for the winter.

I don't know how much yet, they should be coming in the mail within the next week or so.. I'll probably raise it a bit. hella fun with quattro last winter before I was lowered. It'll probably be at like 23.5" gtf this season.. last time I measured it was at a little under 22.5"..

Jesus sorry I read that late last night and didn't realize you said you haven't gotten them yet. This is my first winter with quattro and if you saw my other thread, I'm ******* loving it. Have you ever been real low on snow?

I haven't been low in snow, I put my coilovers in I think april last year.. after the snow was all done. I moved it in my driveway the other day after it snowed and I was plowing . I saw your thread, made me jealous. empty unplowed parking lots will probably be your favorite part about winter..

Absolutely. I already set my alarm for 6:45 AM tomorrow because we're supposed to get snow early . I don't have work until 12 so I'll be having some more fun.

finally got my fines, $117 for following too closely + $75 for tire rubbing when turning.. not terrible.

I'll be rockin a santorin hood until I can find a europa one.. I'm about to go raise my coils but I figured I'd take my last low pictures until spring






you can kinda tell the difference between santorin and europa here.. it's not too noticeable out of light. also I traded my rs4 grille for the badgeless one + $100..

time to raise the car so I can play in the snow tonight
will post more pictures after.

I love that first picture. I so badly want a roof rack. I can't wait until you get a Europa hood, that badgless is bleh.

I raised it a little bit.. I'm around 23.25" gtf now and it was fun plowing 5+" of snow today
I figured I'd get mixed thoughts about the badgeless, more hate than like. I'm feelin it for now though. probably will post more pics tomorrow. I <3 snow.
