Great looking car man, great little additions.

 

Thanks guys. Wheels, I'm not sure when will come, was thinking about just throwing spacers on the OEMs and focusing the cashflow elsewhere, but still not sure...

Anyways, today I did a few things.

Put in the OEM cargo net that I for some reason took out when I bought the car. This thing is awesome.



business...





This is the worst paint on my car, the whole roof is starting to oxidize, chip and even rust.



Fortunately, this will be fixed soon:



Made some changes to my DIY skid plate, shortened it a bit so it fits nicer and added some stencilage



Also, decided to paint the reservoir caps flat black:






Plate on:

 

you would get a MANN filter...

Looks good mangggggggg

 

What can I say, I have so much man coming at me I need all the filtering I can get...

 

 

Got a little done yesterday...



S4 headliner. A4s never came with black pieces.









Need to do something about those door moldings though...



I was thinking about using fabric dye on the door molding fabric, and taking out those rear plastic corner pieces and trim painting them to finish everything up.

Anyone know a good technique and product to dye the fabric? I've never done this before...

 

If you can find a tub or something big enough to soak them in, RIT dye does wonders.

I know people that have RIT dyed their carpets and they barely fade where the feet are. Since those will probably never be touched, I think you'll be fine.

I actually dont think it looks bad with that little bit a gray...

 

Found these last night for a price I felt should not be turned down.



Only issue was:



Spent today in the city with my girl and dropped the wheel off at a wheel shop, a few hours later, I had this



and a warrantied guarantee that its straight, will hold air, and never crack again in that spot

Plans are to strip them down, fill the curbage and new paint. I'll post more updates after I hopefully start tomorrow.

 

Started work on the wheels today... first had to give them a good clean





Sanding and filling...



Primer





After 4 coats of the color, Wurth silver wheel paint.





Still need to add the laquer/clearcoat and maybe do a little wetsanding and buffing after. Had to see what they looked like so far...





Center caps will be changed, not sure what to yet, but I have a few ideas

 

im diggin this audi. and i normally HATE euro cars, lol

 

why not keep the rims black...

 

Not a fan of black w/ a polished lip. I wanted more of a cleaner look.

 

im not a fan of your face

 

reminds me of shelby gt500 wheels. this car is effin nice man. My GF used to have a 00 and man was it a POS but they never really took care of it. Plus it was auto but brake boosting off the line was fun haha

 

Thanks dude, yeah without proper attention these cars really tend to fall apart...

Yesterday I did the roof, which was bothering me like none other...







Didn't come out PERFECT, but much better than before.

 

Nice a4 build, its cool to see somebody modding an audi, i just piced up a 2000 s4 for my wife like 2 months ago. Its an awesome car but unfortunately not a six speed , your build makes me want to find a used 6 speed one and start the chipping, intake, exhaust route. Good luck and keep us updated.

 

what did you do to your roof? is that vinyl or a wrap type material?

 

This thread is awesome. I learned how to drive stick in a 98 A4 when I was 16, so deep down I'm pretty fond of Audis. You're quality of work, and priority on keeping it clean is top notch

Keep up the good work! Subscribed.

 

Another post? Year long update? Come on, it was interesting as hell, and I usually hate audi's.

 

dye the rest of that interior black mang

 

That was done the day after I took those pics

It's been a while, alot of things have changed. I threw those wheels on, painted them cream, hated them, changed them back to silver, roomate backed into my front end, replaced bumper with S4 bumper and replaced both headlights. More or less how it sits now:
