The reason shane.trammell is concerned about it being an automatic is that it's not a quattro, which means that if it's an auto, it has the much maligned CVT transmission. They're known for failing frequently and being very expensive to fix/replace.

As far as the look goes, I like some things about it and dislike others. The polished lip/black interior wheel look on a black car is nice IMO, but I don't like the design of the wheels themselves. Of course, that's just my personal preference - they're definitely not tacky looking or anything bad like that; I just tend to like fewer, larger spokes. I have a similar issue with the splitter - it looks nice apart from the support struts. They just seem a little out of place on a car that doesn't have a gigantic rear wing and a bunch of stickers on it.

yeah, i think my inner cv joint is damaged. Does that have to do with the cvt transmission? Also i just purchased a rear lip spoiler for my car.

it looks nice but like olstyn said the supports for the splitter need to go. And the rear bumper isnt much my taste either. The wheels dont look bad but everyone has their own taste in wheels. U should clearcorner ur car and black out ur grill. What kinda spoiler did u purchase and from where. And also where did u get ur splitter at and how much was it?

If its a CVT transmission, stop buying parts and start saving up for your new transmission.

Looks ok to me, not crazy about colored wheels at all. Like the splitter, but yes, the supports are too Fast and Furious.

I checked with the dealer, its not CVT. Also the splitter is my favorite part of the car. I purchased it on ebay for $167 shipped. Also I'm going to blacken out the grill as well.

That dealer is retarded. Any fwd auto a4, at least 2002 or newer, has a CVT trans.
