Lol if you were bidding on an s4 grille that said it was in terrible condition I actually think that was me because I outbid the guy at the very end and their highest bid was $12

New rims off a 2001 sport a4
new depo headlights they are the halos =]
fog lights
euro plate
new headliner
about to order clear corner's
Your car looks nice and clean and definitely newer than 10+ years old. What's the new headliner you put in? And you already have clear corners? Unless you meant clear turn signal bulbs or the side markers..



So does anyone know why my passengers side parking lights just aren't working, front and back....? The lines aren't getting power and I don't know what to do to fix it. It started happening out of nowhere the other night.

Yeah I checked fuses first. Mine are smoked, I think the clears should look a lot better than amber on your car.

I guess there was something wrong with one of the led lights I used for my city lights and it caused the rear light to not go on too? I don't really know why but the side that the broken city light bulb was on didn't let the back lights go on either.. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that my rear parking light bulbs are also leds... I don't know, I ordered new bulbs for the city lights and don't have any installed right now.

Haven't updated this in a while.. Got some new wheels that probably won't be on until spring, if I even keep them. They're 17x8.5 et38.

Don't have any pictures but I finally wrapped my pillars in the black suede and put them in, Haven't done the headliner yet. I just started school so I'll be busier.

Lookin good man, I love the slammed look. How is it dealing with the negative camber in the back?

I bet those Merc wheels would look pretty good as long as you can get the Merc emblem outta the middle . I can't recall, did you end up deciding against painting your lowers or not? I think it looks good the way it is, and I'm still on the fence about doing mine. Also, what's that you've got goin on with your center lower grille? Looks different

There's negative chamber up front too and noticeable signs of inner tire wear on all four. I finally found a place that will do an alignment for me so I'll try to get that done soon. The center caps are staying on. Never considered painting my lowers. I remember sending you two pictures of silver a4's and said non painted lowers look a lot cleaner. I put chrome strips around my lower center grille a while back.

Did you get an adjustable arm kit to take care of the front camber? If you're seeing major inner tire wear, I'd be willing to be it's more of a toe issue than camber.
