interest in selling the bentleys?! pm me if so, cars looks great, im picking up my 4.2 this week as a dd for my ///m

Alright haven't updated this in a long time. Anyways I sold the SNAs and spaced out the NUEs some more and got some narrower tires. 18x9.5 with 225/40s et0 front et-10 rear. Also got new front fenders to replace fucked up ones. They're aluminum and were the wrong color so me and buddy polished them ha. It was a ton of work but came out kinda cool. I'm over it and ready for paint but that's gonna wait till other stuff gets done so for now it's staying shiny



After that trip to Philly the NUEs cracked so I ran some loaner wheels and then some bentleys I had laying around. One of them ended up being cracked so now I'm running two bentleys 19x9 with 215/35s in back and two NUEs in front lol.



I did manage to get some rare 3pc wheels off of whoretex. They're made my Braid and I got hosed. Seller had them listed as 18x10 et15 all around and long story short they aren't. Contacted manufacturer and the wheels have serial numbers stamped into them. They looked them up for me and this set is old. They were made and imported before Braid US even existed. The actual specs are 18x8 et-31. Needless to say the dont fit. So I'm in the process of trying to get my money back so I can shell out the money needed to get new lips and barrels to make them what I want. The goal is 18x12 w/ 255/35s and 18x10.5 w/ 225/40s.

Pics for grins

Not actually BBRs don't know the story on the stickers but they aren't right.





Fronts poke a little much ha!



Rear is pretty much perfect just needs some wider barrels







Also finally made progress on the bumper. RS6 grille is fit and S6 DRLs are mounted getting paint tomorrow and mounted before the weekend. Only thing left will be finishing fabricating the grilles to go under the lights.

Thanks! It's pretty obnoxious. Most people seem to love it though. I might redo it this winter and try to clean up the sound a little bit.[/QUOTE]

Sounds better completely brutal, like the kinda thing that mugs a Prius

Shitty iPhone pics but did a test fit of the new wheels in the rear. Looks good just gotta bring the car down some more but offset seems to be spot on.

Just for more content while I'm waititng on parts and my workspace to be ready

Couple rollers from my buddy Parker Cavanaugh

I want to meet up and see this thing in person. We should of shot them both when I had the THlines on.

Throw the th lines back on and we can set something up with my buddy Parker. He lives in Belmont all the time.

whatever you do dont change that wheel color or the color of your car! that scheme is on point and just pure sex!

i love what you have done, have you ever looked into an air setup? im not a big fan of them myself, but theres just something special to bagged audis, its your preference but thats just my opinion.

other than that, this car is beautiful, keep it up!!

Thanks! The color of the wheels is staying the same for now. The new ones are already powder coated. Been toying with painting the car Suzuka Grey. It will probably stay silver for at least one more year the. Been all through doing air and it would just cost too much for me to do it to the extent that I would want to do it.

I have seen this car at a Volkshore meet in MA a long time ago. Sounded AMAZING

Ya the rear is awful! Been looking at hyperco sprins. I might get bigger tires but I'm trying to get wheel lip as close to fender lip as possible

[softg]

glad you're home safely

if you can, run a bigger tire for sure, 245's?, it's not like you don't have the room. my $.02

is the rear on that a bit soft and sloppy for you at that ride height? where are you picking up springs from? you'll like the upper adjustables

[ilikeaudis]

Finally home from my deployment time to get back at. Hopefully picking up a daily for the winter so I can give this some more attention. New wheels are here. Going from 18x9.5 with 245/40s to 19x10 with 225/35s. Also putting some after market springs in the coils and installing some adjustable control arms.

Here's a pic from my friend Parker Cavanaugh so it's not a completely useless post.

RS6 lower grille fitted







Bumper shaved and smoothed ( still needs more sanding and such )
