I'll preface this saying it's not an exciting, or fast moving build, and I shouldn't even call it a build. I'm just slowly picking away at making the car more to my liking. I could never consider throwing wheels on a car a build. The more exciting stuff should happen this winter.
I bought this car last May when I sold my 03 Chevy 2500HD. It had H2 wheels and 35s. Before that I had a 98 Wrangler on 33s. That being said, moving to a car was a big change for me after having two vehicles built for off road capability and hard work.
I take a ton of crap for it, but my car was "well assembled" when I bought it. The previous owner had done a lot of work and spent a ton of money. The short list...
-Airlift Slam XL bags, Accuair Switchspeed management with dual 444 compressors
-Eurogear carbon fiber boser hood
-Valeo e-code headlights
-S4 doorblades, Oettinger decklid spoiler, USP lower valence
-Alcantara headliner, rewrapped seats with alcantara inserts and Audi stitching
-Alpine head unit, Hertz components and tweeters, and Kenwood sub in a custom box
-Unitronic Stage 1, Southbend Stage 3 clutch (
), Milltek exhaust
-Full Dolphin Gray respray
-Other odds and ends here and there
With all this work, minus the boser for people who know what these cars normally look like, the car could still pass for a clean lightly modded A4 at ride height. Exactly what I wanted to start with. I bought the car at near normal value with all this work done which I was ecstatic about. The body wasn't hacked, the motor bay was clean, and the air ride setup was simple and the trunk had not been done yet. He gave me a set of beat up Privat Netz 19s with it that I sold right off the bat and have been running A6 S-line 17s since I bought the car.
I took the car to Waterfest 18 that summer, Volksbahn that fall, and got even more hooked than before. The inspiration has been flowing since and will soon be put to use. I can't say exactly what I want the end goal to be other than ideas. I just want something that says simplicity, elegance, and complexity all at the same time.
All this said, here's a single picture of it's current state minus the center caps being off the 17s. I've got a free weekend so I'll get some pictures of the interior, trunk, and other stuff for those interested.
