What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?
- Thread starter Dani_B19
- Start date
Decided to give my discs and calipers a good scrub down today and got a good deal on some genuine dealer parts so changed my air filter and pollen filter. £26 not a bad price considering my dealer wanted £100 plus to change them!
Thats just crazy, you could do both in less than half an hour, the sad thing is that some people will actually pay them that
well just parted with another wedge on a set of these, so hoping it will be 3rd time lucky, will add some piccy's midweek when they are on the old bus.
if these go pete tong then I'll just top myself.....

Not done anything as such, but Ive picked up a parcel from the USA containing some Morimoto mini H1 7.0 projectors 
Went with these in the end as I find it very difficult to find a nice rim pattern and colour that really suit black B7 avants, too dark and the wheels look lost in the arches, also I think a lot of the current rim style/patterns just look to modern for the B7 shape, I think the B8 can get away with a much wider range of styles to be honest as the whole car bodyshape is more angular whereas the B7 is more rounded and flowing.
For me the B7 avant is a nice compramise in styling, classic countours with function aswell so rims need to follow in the style for me , these rims remind me of the le mans rs alloys which I also like but wanted something just a bit different.
Another good thing is that they do appear to have good reviews on quality and fitting etc, also 2 year warranty, so what too loose , not that much really.
Looks great, mine trim is really spotted, got some polish but it's not responding at all so taping it seems a good solution
Robbin not going to lie pal, I don't like them, once on I may say different but from the solo picture I'm not a fan but each to there own and like I say they may look better once on.
no that's fine mate, wheels are a very personal choice thing, the cars colour makes things a harder choice for me , I feel you can get away with more wheel/color variation on other color cars but I find black a much harder choice.
All the alloys I thought would like right , after doing some photoshop pics , didn't look right but looked nice on there own. Then all the rims I deffo didn't like were non starters too so that wasn't a surprise, then all the rims that I wasn't quite sure about (not many and included these ) did look ok on the car , so i'll see how it turns out in the flesh.
To be honest I like the rs4 style ones I have but there is just a niggle in my head about them I don't like, maybe its because they are a pretty flat face style with quite thick spokes, not sure really but need to try something else .
I did like my original DTM's but just too many spokes, i'm sure i'll get there in the end.

Hi ur right it is personal choice and it is hard mine is silver and I tried dark alloys see pic and hated them even tho I spent ages looking for them so went back to the flat 5 and end of last year I pic a set up like the 1s you have on at the moment and I love them will be fitting once weather is better as for your new choice the only thing for me is if you have open spokes I'd want be disc brakes behind then
Some one on here put up an ebay link to it, but personally i think its just 2" wide black electrical tape but its allegedly proper vynl
When did u get urs because i had it in my watching on bay from link now sellers has nothing for sale ?
I like mine , but I just think the wider spoke profile makes the wheels look a bit chunky if you get my drift whereas thinner spokes look a lot leaner and give the rims the effect of a larger diameter rim, its all about optical illusions aswell.
Today I stripped the last bits that im selling out the car, it now has no RNSE or Bluetooth, I also gave the interior a good clean and freshen up and done a temporary repair on a broken vacuum hose (hopefully it will get me to the garage tomorrow)
well, will you be sad to see it go chap, or glad to see it go.
whatever you go with good luck with it all.

did my weekly vcds scan this afternoon for oddities and faults etc, nothing pinged up and all was well for another week.
Cheers matey, I might be leaving Audi cars but I doubt that I'll be leaving ASN, I'll be keeping an eye on this forum

I used to love the sound on the old FRS but as you say I'm getting a little too old also....I just like it quiet now!

Replacing upper control arms today. Got one done fine but the other side- oh my god. That twatting bolt! ! ! 5 hours of trying to remove it. Still not out!
Anyone know the cost of a replacement upright? Do all b7 models share the same one?
