mirrors look perfect on there

Thanks mate

[mgpdoc]

had a defect that was bothering me on the driver's door trim







Nothing I cant fix with the help of these, and my precious Kestrel DA



All done





Not sure I will be keeping those, or make new door cards, but I had to fix it

Ordered these from the dealership today

OEM RS4 Fog Light Grilles



but then again, I need a front RS4 bumper to put them on. . . hmmm...

[mgpdoc]

So. Some things have been happening the past few days.

Let's see. Mike Hood @ Ringer Racing, sent me over these photos from the things I am about to collect from him.



Here it is next to his GT35



It's massive, I like it



I also did some work on the interior, mostly more cleaning, waiting for the cage and lexan windows to arrive, sometime after Easter vacations

handbrake assembly looking very sorry for itself









Came out great with a bit of elbow grease





And as for the RS4-Go Wide-Project, I have some progress to show . . .

I sourced a front bumper



then I sourced a rear bumper (in imola yellow, yes)



Then a sideskirt







So S4 door blades will have to go when time comes



Then I got an RS4 grille



Then I got some fog light grilles







I also ordered the front bumper lower trim, the one that goes below the grille, in black - very expensive for such a small piece - damn vip rs4 parts

So , given I have the front fenders already, in my mind, what is left, parts-wise are:

-the rear - extremely expensive fenders
-one sideskirt
-front arch liners perhaps
-rear doors will be made to fit in the body-shop, no need for rs4 ones

i cant think of anything else at the moment. We shall see. No rush, I will take my time

So. Since Easter days are gone here in Greece, time for some updates.

First of all I received something from the dealership. A front bumper part.







I will explain later why I posted the last pic.

Then, I got back from work, and found something big inside my car



Hmmmm...



Had to see what it was



Ten minutes later, and after a LOT of cutting



and then . . .



Yummy . . .





Condition was excellent



to say the least











And yes you guessed correctly, I had to test to see it

Bye bye A4 bumper



Hello RS4 bumper











Side difference





Removed the silver oem part





Went a bit anal and cleaned it



And installed mine



Some more photos with it









Sorry old bumper , you gotta go - LoL

Stay tuned guys, more to come.

Cheers

[mgpdoc]

So, only things I managed to do these days, is
1. re-install the oem A4 non-Sline door blades - luckily I hadnt sold them-
and
2. something else you will see . . .

So here are some pics with the said blades on











Then I opened my trunk in the daily, and found this . . .



W T F . . .





This should be somewhere around here . . .





No . . . it aint here . . .



When work allows it, I will remove more things from the underside.
There is more to come.

Stay tuned

Cheers
