Default Hofele Design Tuning A4 - secret spy pics!



Exclusive photo seen above. Note the bull-dog nose. Very nice departure from the huge grille, even though I liked the previous Audis too ..

Not to sure I like the front of that. ALso look at the hood line by the windshield... it looks odd for some reason.

And just for good measure... SPAM!

Sorry guys. Was just an experiment. My buddies online who aren't Audi nuts didn't realize it wasn't really an Audi. They really bought it. I guess that true Audi guys are too up on the design cues of current Audis to be fooled. Congrats on uncovering my plot .. lol

Hope you guys can take a joke. Nice forum you have here.

The rings do look a little duller than usual.

LOL. Audi must have a "dull" website then because that's where I grabbed the rings from.

Nonetheless, here is the original photo for those of you who are interested:





I have to say, the funniest thing is, when I show people the picture of the "Audi" they love it. But, when I show them the picture of the real thing, the Volvo, people say "Oh, it's a Volvo. It's okay." I think it says a lot about the cachet that the Audi brand holds versus the Volvo brand. Then again, if Volvo didn't have the ugliest badge branding to ever marr a car, maybe it would do a bit better. I don't know why they need that darn seatbelt-strap chrome piece across the grille.
