newbie in NY
hello,
i purchased a 1998 Audi A4 1.8t manuel over the weekend after many hours of looking for a nice one. i origionally wanted a white or silver one but wuold settle for black since they arent so here I am looking....BUTTTTTTTTT i bought a bright red one!
i dont know what i was thinking and actually i havent seen many red ones in my area so i figured it would be nice.
so i get the car home:
my husband and I instantly get on the computer a purchase 17" SSW 003 Wheels Audi Rims in Black with silver lip(small dish on them).
we also ordered a blacked out grill with the german flag emblem.
and that was all with in the first 2 hours we had it home!
so today is now monday and we went out today and set up to have the windows completely tinted on thursday.
and we bought a set of clear blinker lights (the pass one was cracked) so after putting them on I decided that we now need to get new headlight assy. the ones one the car now look bad with the new clear markers.....does anyone have a suggestion as to which ones to go with....I DONT WANT RICEY LOOKING ONES!!!!! I was thinking maybe just replacing them with new stock ones but i dont know if the lenses wll be clear like the markers or they will have that dull look to them? can someone help with this?
There is a sound it started to make today in the front pass side wheel area...maybe the common issue with control arms? makes clunking over bumps and whne driving in upper speeds makes a "unbalanced tire" sound? any suggestions?
I also need a new exterior rear quattro emblem and i looked on ebay but could find just that one in the United states.
But over all I really love the car.
if anyone has any other suggestions like performance mods...please feel free to express!
thanks!

Hey not sure why you posted this in this forum. This is a welcome forum. Buttt......
Check out the Ecode headlights sold at places like ECS Tuning and Achtuning.
Is this the look you are wanting? These are the lights that came standard in Europe. Not only do they look better but they have a better light output too!
My old ride:
They will require a little modding of the bumper though to remove a metal lip inside.
