Newbie from Cape Town

Post by CarlitoCPT »

Hi all
I'm new to this forum.
I purchased my first Audi last year October, from a white old lady who parked her car always in a garage Image
It's a 2002 Audi a4 1.8T
When I got her she was bone stock.
However I did a few cosmetic changes namely:
19"ssw rims
Jom blueline coilovers
Smash and grab 35%
Colour coded the bumpers and side beading

And this is the result...

I would appreciate any feedback

Thank you gents.

@JasonCPT I'm impressed with your build...love what you've done to the lower bottom front bumper.
I am actually looking for a local shop that has a front bumper spoiler.

I haven't seen many cosmetically changed b6's in Cape Town, any crews?

That'll be because most people just add parts and end up with some riced car or a aero kit where the front bumper doesnt match the skirts or diffuser at all....

These B6, just grow on one.
They look so good with just a few changes.

It's the little things that make them run right. Anybody can slap a basic bottom end together. that is the easy bit. It's all the little things that makes these builds a success or not.
