hi im matt from medway. kent
i have been in the vw scene for about 5 years but this is my frist time owning an audi.

Looks tidy.

found that the walnut if fake and stuck on and in black under so will be taking that off. plates will be orded soon.

how easy are a4's to slam and how low can you gat them?

 

[squarebackmatt]

right do i de badge the grill or just spray the chrome bits black?

LOWER IT.

Don't debadge the grill - just paint the surround. Leave the Audi badge chrome IMO. I would debadge the rear too - just the 1.8 badge. Makes it look much cleaner.

 

[squarebackmatt]

Will be getting lowered when funds allow.
Will do the surround first and see what I think about the rings, with the rear I will be taking the 1.6 off and the A4 aswell I think but not sure weather to leave the rings chrome, spray them black or just take them off all together.
Anyway did some de walnuting today.
The walnut was stuck on hard

The stuff that got taken off

All gone (the sticky stuff needs cleaning off

Deffo think the head unit should be black.

Keep the rings chrome,black is invisible you might as well remove them.
What were the previous owners thinking...walnut ?

Jeez, your quite young to own an Audi mate, or any car for that matter........!

Stereo does look right out of place, needs black to match.

As already stated black out the grill, remove the A4 and 1.6 badge. I would black gloss the surround and mirror's. The door handles and lower's sprayed LY3Z (OR).. I like the colour alot. :thumbsup:

 

[squarebackmatt]

Just got to take the A4 and 1.6 badges off the back now

 

[squarebackmatt]

[squarebackmatt]

New plates now on.

Front looking fresh!!

Rear looking cleaner.
