Ive had my Car around 5 months now and have done a few mods but still have along way to go to get it how I want it. I thought Id put together a thread as I go along,
My previous car was an Astra Nurburging but wanted somthing cheaper to run,
After looking at severel B7 Estates in my budget, and reading up on them decided to go for a B6, mine was the 2nd I looked at but it had grey interior so had to look past that and bought it.
B6 Avant 1.9 Tdi sport Auto
First thing was to get some bigger wheels with a 35 offset, quick look round I come accross some Rs6 19" wheels that needed a bit of a refurb
Next thing was to tackle the interior as Im not a fan of Grey. So after a long sertch and a 450 mile round trip I got myself this black B7 S line leather trim with door panels, My plan was to transfer the Black leather onto the grey door pannel to break the grey up a bit but after chopping up 2 black and one grey door pannel I scrapped that idea.
Here are a few of the seats but as you can see the colour sceme just dos nt look right
After a month of driving round with no rear pannel on and looking for black interior trim its like rockin horse and what I could find was so expensive I decided to have ago at changing the colour of my own.
I bought a product called plastidip you can spray it, dip it or paint it
I removed and sprayed the lower dash and pannels then sprayed all the piano trim silver
2 leather door pannels in black came up on Ebay and snapped them up and its starting to take shape now, There is still a bit of grey trim in there but think it looks alot better, Im wating a black set of S line mats now to finish it off inside.
My next jobs where wheels and suspension,
I got offered some Rs4 wheels with a 45 offset, as was looking to Run as close to the arch as possible, then ordered some Koni springs with a 35mm drop, after the suspension settled down I looked into seeing how much I could get away with bringing the wheels out. I ordered some 15mm spacers so was running Et30, The fronts were too much and could just get away with the rears but if I got some weight in the boot it caught, so I had 2mm taken off the rear and 3mm off the front.
without spacers
with spacer
Ive had the Koni,s on for 2 months now but Im not happy with the frop at the front so have got all out and bought coilovers They need to settle in at the moment
This brings me pritty much up to date at the moment, but wanting to do more
