    Talking New Ride....

    Picked up myself a new ride the other day. Keeping it in the family. Is a 2002 Audi A4 1.8TQ Man. I could not pass this car up. Had it a week and already making it mine, Wheels and Tint done so far. I'm lowering the car on Wednesday maybe 1.75In at the back and 2In at the front. Also toying with the idea of colour coding the black plastic trim. Let me know what you guys think, Im loving this car right now....

    nice man!
    turbo wheels, awesome!

    slam that sucker and get rid of that tyre gap and it will look the goods.

    Also as you said colour coding it will make it look great! I'll keep an eye on this one

    Agreed on the colour coding mate, im doing exactly the same on mine. Ive got to get bigger pipes too, they are too small and this was verified by Gavin (H100VW) when he was following me last night, that sealed it for me too.
    Must admit im a big fan of your wheels mate, very nice indeed, were they on it when you bought it??????
    Congrats on the buy, and with loving it, i really am hearing you. Cant get enough of mine at the moment.

    LowVeeDub, looks the goods mate!
    I'm really fellin' the wheels...

    As for the colour coding, I would be in two minds.

    I was considering this for my Passat also, however the black plastic is dimpled (if that makes sense) Will it look good colour coded? Or do they smooth these parts to give it a smooth finish?

    your going to make it lower???


    i'd keep it as is - at least then you'll be able to drive it properly.

    anyhow, very nice mate. wheels look really, really tops.
