I remember when I had an older model A6, probably a 2006 or so, I bought a carbon fiber rear valence for $300 (funny, because once the company figured out their mistake the price went to $1200!), I ordered Porsche 911 quad tips off ebay and they looked better than the wimpy looking S6 tips that came on the car at the time, much beefier looking. and they fit in the valence very well. So that might be an option

I did mine a few months back. Used Duplicolor and fairly please with the results.

love it! did you remove the calipers to paint them, I assume?

pdt6974

No. Just taped them off and painted on car. Followed suggestion somewhere else in forum and ditched the brush that came with kit and picked up better brush from hardware store. also lowered 15mm via VCDS. Better stance and handling.

had no idea you could lower the car with vag-com. I know i can lower it in the setting but I assume it will raise back up by itself at speed. thanks!

You didn't notice me talking about it on the guy's thread looking for a gift for his father? If you want to do it, it truly is quite simple. I haven't checked the above instructions, but I'm sure they're similar to the others I've seen.

Looks sharp!

but can you raise the car back up easily? or have to vag-com it all over again? and I did see that post, I recommended the pedalbox...

my new mod, unfortunately, is a Mastercraft wake surf boat. So I think I'm done with the Audi for a little while. Have to mod out the boat! maybe i'll black it out! that could be cool, black MASTERCRAFT logos on the hull, blacked out tower, etc. or, maybe not...
