Hi folks. After three great years of owning a 200 20 valve I upgraded to a s4 avant this week. I was not really searching for one. I needed something bigger with a manual transmission as I am lucky to have a spouse who is a manual fan as well. I did not like the feel and the maintenance of the allroads so searched for Volvo v70r's.
Last week I saw a gorgeous nogaro avant manual with only 55k on the clock and it was very close to me. I jumped on the deal. Hr coilovers, second set of 18" oz wheels, rs4 ss kit, neuspeed exhaust and sways etc. Never been chipped. Here are some pics

It is a little tight on space for us but with a nice cargo box it should serve us well.
I would like that all black front grill on this car, I believe those are the RS4 grills right? Where can i get one?
thanks

Still contemplating if I want to do the RS4 bumper mod to my new bumper...
Not sure how it would look vs. just putting some RS4 mesh in. I agree it looks good on silver and other lighter colors. I just don't think there is enough contrast with black. So it's not really worth the time and effort.

Yep, removed the outter frame, sanded it up, and hit it with a few light coats of PlastiDip ...
... I am amazed how it's held up, although I've only had it done for a few months now.
I'm in Denver and the sand we lay down on our roads is crazy ... all that and a few power washings and no issues ...
Good Stuff ..

The center bar delete is a huge pain, but it looks SO much better IMHO. Black is tuff ...
.. I know there are some black ones on here that have done it ...
It'd be way easier to conceal the frack ups, that's for sure ;-P

I had the kamaei one first ... yuck. For a few dollars more, you can get the OEM RS4 grill ...
