My A4 with OEM styling "Phantom" (Many pictures)

[xileh]

Hello. Greetings from Norway.

Wanted to post some pictures of my little "Project".
Start with just copy paste from another forum. Hope that is alright
will try to write as good english as I can, but you may find some wrong writing

It is an A4 B8 1,8TFSI


Got it in august 2008, and are very pleased with the car. Good comfort and the engine runs very well I think. thought of buying 2.0tdi, but I'm glad I bought tfsi instead


Start with some pictures from when I bought my car:

Side by side with my old car (VW Bora/Jetta)

Some few changes where made to the car during the summer. Put on some 9,5x19" rims with 265-35 tires I found in my garage. This is not the wheels I'm going to use
This just for testing the place for rims and going to sell the 18" sline wheels, so I didn't want to use them. God place for tires in the new A4. Rear I can have bigger.

Removed the rings on the trunk.

Xenon 6000K in the foglights, and added laminx tint film on the headlights just for a test:

More pics of the car. Hope you like pictures

Two pictures from the first winter I hadd the car.

Didn't like to use the car during the winter, so I desided to make a few changes to it

Removed the front grill on my car one day. Much work, because the bumper hadd to be removed.

Also took the grill apart, because I where going to have it painted black

Tried something. But it wasn't as successfull as I thought. smoked the rear lights a bit. But I don't think I like the result. So i guess I will but them back to original later [:|]

And this is how my car looks from the front now. Just washed it because it was dusty. (You can also spot my wintercar in the back of the picture. audi 100 Avant quattro)

Got some parts for the car. Cover for the licenseplate

H&R Coilovers:

OEM Styling:

Leds in the licensplate

S-line stickers on the mirrors

New wheels MRR HR3.
Bad pictures and car that was new washed, but got dirty before I took photos.

And one that my editing didn't become very good

Gave the car a quick wax-job.

Put on the licenseplate cover.

New exhaust and mounting the rear diffusor:

Exhaust not ready here. One silencer on right side is missing, but mounted after the photo was taken.

Thank you all for comments. Glad to hear you like what I have done with my car.

:thumbsup:

No, I haven't done anything with the engine yet. Don't know if I will tune it with a chip or someting. But here around where I live they (police) have gotten a dynepack to measure the power in the cars. If you have more than the stock HP in the car you get a ticket that is more than 175USD for every HP to much. And I don't wanna pay a fine/ticket that can be almost 9000USD

But I would like to make the enginebay look a litle better. Some CF details if someone start to make that

 

[ruairi83]

Amazing mate. Top work...

 

[johnnythepie]

Plod has dyno?jeez.Thats sad.No BP Ultimate for you then!!

If you got the APR remap then just using the cruise control stalk you could swap from chipped to standard in about 5 secs

Have you got any links to that Scotty, I might be sort of interested

Seriously stunning motor! Well done!

Sure. This is the 1.8T page : http://www.goapreu.com/products/ecu_upgrade_18tsi_long.htm

Unfortunately the 2010 ECU remap hasn't been released yet (new security features) but they say it will be by Christmas.

I had APR on my TT and both the actual map and the software were superb. The cruise control stalk gives you the ability to swap programs on the move. You can also lock it into a program with a pin. Additionally you can choose valet mode (limits car to a fixed rpm and no boost) or immobiliser.

I've nothing but praise about my previous experience with them.

Nice looking car and loads of nice looking photos

Good Work:thumbsup:

 

[Just Plain Old]

I'm gobsmacked............. I would question your sanity,,, but admire your ability......!!!

 

[gr1zly]

Great car, rims are not my type but rest is great, I wanted fron lip but Audi deler told me that with s-line bumper it's inpossible to fit it ;/

 

[DaveW]

Looks very nice. However, I think it looked nicer with the silver/black split rims you had on earlier.

Do you reckon Darth Vader gets treated rudely when he takes his car in for a service?

Love this car

 

[razza1]

wondered where you were going with it, but love the end result!!

 

[10blazin]

love the car its really nice and the new wheels are awesome to ...id love it

 

[N8]

Nice pics, but you need better wheels to kill the car, and not really feeling the bodykit.

 

[NHN]

Wheels are immense, love them, but maybe a nice gun metal colour would be better.

 

[Necroscope]

Can i ask how much you have spent to get to this point?

 

[beanoir]

awesome looking car and some great pictures there too! Well done!

 

[DJM1982]

oh my god, i think i'm in love.
Beautiful mate......

 

[xileh]

Thank you to everyone for the comments

The wheels I have on the car now, stays on the car. I like them very much, and no one in Norway got the same wheels as me But I agree the rims are a bit love/hat. You eighter love them or hate them. But they look much better in real than in pics.

john herman: Yes, they got that So I guess I will stick with original software for now.

gr1zly: The votex front lip wont fit the sline front bumper I'm afraid

NHN: Been thinking of painting the rims in black or gunmetal betveen the "splits"

Necroscopehttp://www.audi-sport.net/vb/member.php?43454-Necroscope: I don't know exactly how much I have spent. Haven't calculated together yet. Ant the prices in Norway are quite expensive. But around 47300GBP for the car and 6500 to 6600GBP for the rest i guess. (Norwegian kroner converted to GBP)

 

[NHN]

Wouldnt go black tbh, need a contrast IMHO, thats why suggested gunmetal.

All of the styling I have on my car I bought from my local Audi dealer

Xileh, your car looks great dude.

Question about your 19" setup...were you running negative camber when you lowered your car? Reason I ask is that my 20s sit out like what your 19s did. I have H&R springs that should lower the vehicle about 25mm and am worried about it rubbing. Check my Ibis white thread for pics....

No. I had stock camber and everything. My car had sline spring, and I think they lower about 25mm, så I guess the car will get about the same height. And then I had no problems with my 265-35-19" tires
