Screws from the hardware store. Didn't come with the original mounting hardware but didn't need it the screws worked perfect.

Didn't know panel's did that. Stickers in the engine bay can look good, but I'm more of a 'clean' bay person. But that's up to you, just don't put them all over your windows lol.

I hear you. It'd only be one sticker but it didn't even come with one so there's that...

So today I noticed a small part of my clear coat peeling. It's on the passenger side door and probably about the size of your thumb nail. Not noticeable but I know if I leave it nothing good will come of it.

What's out there to keep more of it from coming off? Clear nail polish is the first thing that comes to my mind.

Lookin good, you should get at least sport suspension or coil overs if you can afford them, they would make your car look so much sportier

Not with my puny 15 inch rims. I'd rather put that money towards different wheels. I hope to go 18 inch one day. Just need to find a good deal on a set of audi rims. I like the S4 rims that came stock.

What's a good set of coil overs, just to keep my options open. I don't see myself getting rims anytime soon since it's not a necessity.

Christ, those wheels blow! Mine came with the exact same ones, and boy were they a bitch to clean. Honestly, probably the worst wheels I've "EVER" owned in terms of looks and maintenance hands down.

I upgraded to 17" inchers a few years back and the appearance is 10x better......

True, I just found a set of 18" 'Detroit' GTI wheels that I have been looking for for awhile and I got them for $210 with decent tires . Just be patient, if you have any vw/Audi meets near you, go to one and ask around. Thats how I found my new ones
