Ok i fixed it

[u/Bingus444]

No silly banner No silly towhook Recommend me cosmetic modifications please

[u/WiCk3dxx]

I think a tow hook and a decal in the bottom middle of the windshield would look sick.

[u/Radwood-Original74 → u/WiCk3dxx]

Lmao

[u/shoelesstim → u/WiCk3dxx]

Love this

[u/bstyledevi → u/WiCk3dxx]

rbwerks would look dope.

[u/thenexusitsopening → u/bstyledevi]

Comic sans font tho or gtfo

[u/dawiicz1]

poor guy got bullied into it 💀😭

[u/WWGHIAFTC → u/dawiicz1]

Nah, he literally asked what YOU would do different.

This is just crowdsourced modding.

[u/Bingus444 → u/WWGHIAFTC]

i didnt even take it off yet this just a old pic but i think ppl are right it does look cleaner without it and maybe if i did have a tow hook cap it would clean up the front end. idk, im having fun with it thats all i care about, the unnecessary disrespect is whats surprising me

[u/mikeysd123 → u/Bingus444]

Every german car guy is going to tell you oem+ is the way which i cant disagree with as i do prefer simple mods but it’s your car. Do what makes you happy.

[u/maladaptivelucifer → u/mikeysd123]

That shit is so boring though. Why does everyone want their car to look like everyone else’s? That’s my whole issue with this subreddit. It’s a bunch of people trying to flash status or some shit instead of just enjoying cars. Like “look at me I have an Audi! And it looks exactly the same as when I bought it!”.

Cool? If you like that and it makes you happy, I can get behind that (I can get behind people liking cars in general), but this is more like people wanting to have the newest shitty water bottle to impress their empty-headed neighbors. If you mod it, then the neighbors won’t know how expensive and amazing your car is because they’re too stupid to recognize it with a different fender or whatever.

It’s just strange to me, but maybe it’s because I’m an artist and a car straight out the factory looks like a blank canvas to me. Change that shit up. Make it yours. Fuck resale value. You’re gonna drive it all the time, make it what you want it to be and stop worrying about people liking it.

And this comment isn’t directed at you specifically, just something I think about every time I see a bunch of comments about people not liking someone’s car here. There definitely is some weird push to make sure no one changes their Audi and is bullied into submission.

[u/mikeysd123 → u/maladaptivelucifer]

I think it’s just the typical euro guy is an understated demographic that doesn’t like flashy things not necessarily that they all want to look the same. Also like you said people are afraid of ruining resale value with certain mods.

You’re not wrong, I fit in that category simply because I’m just a wolf in sheeps clothing kind of guy and i care much more about function rather than form. I’ll go for performance mods over cosmetic all day any day. I do agree with you i wish people would not care as much and just do what makes them happy because thats what modding a car is about, making it yours. Fuck what other people think.

[u/maladaptivelucifer → u/mikeysd123]

That makes sense to me though—sleeper cars are pretty cool, especially when they go so far beyond what anyone would be expecting. But most people here don’t seem to be doing that, so it’s just kinda sad to me. I guess if they’re enjoying it—I wouldn’t shit on anyone for that. I’ve seen some cars here that were hideous, but you could tell the owner loved it! To me that’s what counts. Who gives a fuck what I think or anyone does. One of these days I’ll have to post one of my cars when it’s finished so everyone here can hate on it. Might bring everyone together!

[u/Bingus444 → u/mikeysd123]

everyone just went after the sticker 😭 seems to be the only thing that made everyone upset

[u/mikeysd123 → u/Bingus444]

Not surprising lol. Doing anything that’s considered a JDM type mod is a surefire way to get flamed in a euro sub/forum. But like i said, it’s your car, you paid for it. Do what makes you happy.

[u/Swedishwagon → u/Bingus444]

Depending where you are in MN keep an eye on UPulls Facebook for new B7s, I'm sure you'll be able to find that tow hook cap for super cheap there. Also a good source for other random parts

[u/Bingus444 → u/Swedishwagon]

Yessirr upull goated

[u/CaddyWompus6969 → u/Bingus444]

Tow straps or hooks in all the time make me feel like the driver wants us all to know he is constantly needing to get towed back onto the road. So much so they don't even bother to unscrew it, they just leave it in.

I don't see it as a sign of good driving

[u/CremeFrieche]

Tint, maybe a honeycomb grill and fog light inserts but keep the silver rings. Not sure how chrome delete would look.

[u/CremeFrieche → u/CremeFrieche]

FMIC is functional and looks great behind a grill

[u/Ok-Conference-4366 → u/CremeFrieche]

Here it is on my black B7

Unfortunately S-Line bumpers require a C6 A6 grille mod or a $700 grille for honeycombs, there are no cheap ones for the downward curved fog lights.

[u/Rabbitmanlocks → u/Ok-Conference-4366]

Off topic but I have a 2008 a4 s-line and am looking to tune. Would you be able to tell me where to start or what you did to get to stage 2?

[u/Stanzify]

Looks so much better, given that you said you got the car for cheap in your other post I would just drive the hell out of it. Having it one color would be cool, maybe a wrap? Could do a chrome delete too.

[u/Bingus444 → u/Stanzify]

yeah it had some front end damage hence the mismatched hood and fender which is also why it was $300 but new front end bits and some engine work, 200k miles no issues still kickin

[u/Legitimate_Ad6698 → u/Bingus444]

$300 ?? wtf and it RUNS

[u/Bingus444 → u/Legitimate_Ad6698]

$300 and i drove it home 🤣

[u/timfountain4444]

Perfect, now just a full respray & new rims....

[u/Effuifyoudwnvoteme]

Much better!

[u/Effuifyoudwnvoteme]

You should make a flair under your username :year, make, model

[u/ImUnfuckwittable]

Nice. Besides the color matching, maybe check if there is a nice honeycomb grille you can swap out the original one for

And I would definitely tint the windows too, totally up to you what you go for. I like to darkest in the back and slightly less dark for the passenger windows but up to you.

In California, you can also swap the original white license plates for some blacked out ones with yellow letters, maybe your state offers alternative colors or designs that’ll look good with your car. I chose to remove my front license plate altogether, it’s technically required to have both here but most people don’t care and I’ve never been pulled over about it. Again completely up to you and your state laws, but it makes the car look cleaner imo.

[u/IDGAFOS13]

paint the fender and hood and get the cover for the tow hook

[u/ItsBrenHere]

Haha love it

[u/yeet12958]

See this is progress, I’d say tint the windows and get a honeycomb front grille.

[u/Fluffy-Dragonfruit66]

look great man 👍

[u/TallJohn7]

When I replaced my interior rear view mirror with a black one, the visual difference it made when looking at the car from the outside was WAY beyond my expectations.

[u/Ok-Conference-4366]

Do a C6 A6 honeycomb grille swap mod. It’s time consuming but there are no honeycomb grille options for the B7 A4 S-Line bumper under $700.

See this post

[u/Hponce100]

Looking good I recommend matte black all the trim euro bixenon HID headlights with OSRAM coolblue bulbs to match the Morimoto LED fog lights ,S4 mirror caps door blades ,RS6 custom honeycomb grill ,DTM rocker panels ,signal lights delete, airlift suspension, full RS4 black and red interior swap ,S6 wheels , R8 steering wheel and a couple of iPads and custom stealth 10” JL subs boxes , big intercooler and Cupra front lip

[u/KadeB420]

What a beauty🤣👌🏼

[u/Ambitious-Ad9476]

Number one priority should be renewing your cars registration. Looks like your tabs are a little overdue.

[u/Bingus444 → u/Ambitious-Ad9476]

old pic but this is what it would look like

[u/Samo50]

I used to have a 2004 Audi S4, what a great engine, transmission and seats in that thing! I miss it.

[u/Fool_isnt_real]

Is the carbon fender and hood a wrap?

[u/Bingus444 → u/Fool_isnt_real]

hood was fender isnt but the hood already been replaced with color match

[u/Fool_isnt_real → u/Bingus444]

I would take the carbon wrap off personally and even if i bought carbon body panels i would paint match them maybe with the exception of the roof

[u/inide]

First modification should be getting the bonnet and wing painted

[u/TallJohn7]

I made my fog lights as yellow as possible with yellow bulbs and yellow laminix covers, love how it turned out

[u/Agitated_Carrot9127]

Progression

[u/Bagsen]

you can't afford to paint the replacement parts on the front end?

[u/Bingus444 → u/Bagsen]

its just the fender now, im waiting for one to pop up already painted just so i can have oem paint

[u/Bagsen → u/Bingus444]

Even if you find one already painted it is still going to have to be blended to look right. Might as well just pay a little more to paint the fender now and have it done and not looking all janky

[u/Clock_slice]

Personally I like carbon fiber mirror caps. That's all you om weather or not you'd go the route of any carbon though

[u/SuchFlamingo2275]

honeycomb grill and paint/wrap it a more popping color like red or blue.

[u/loganwachter]

Tint.

20% is dark enough to look good and have privacy but not so dark that it’s dangerous at night.

[u/Allosaurus71]

normal wheels and decide on a colour

[u/Swimming-Food-9024]

so you fixed it by wrapping it more, changing the color of the side markers BACK to orange and then replacing the fog lights??

lmao!!

bro, can you at least tell me the name of the label on that cap?!?!

[u/Bingus444 → u/Swimming-Food-9024]

its an old pic
