Default what to do?

I have an 00 a4 1.8t unfortunately not manual or quattro, but its an awesome car. I cannot do any engine mods due to extented warranty. I am getting oettinger lip, s4 side skirts, and s4 rear valence. Any recommendations for what to do after that?

Default You can do loads of mods with a warranty...more the reason to do them.

I would cancel the body work things and buy engine mods. Your warranty issue is really dealer specific, but they would have to prove that the mods directly (or indirectly, not too sure) caused the failure or damage. You can search extensively on this; I am by no means the legal guide, but I modded with a warranty, and now have non b/c of mileage. Best of luck

Default just to throw in another voice, i'm modded with warranty

i've never had any trouble with the dealer; in fact they always compliment me on it. they also did the CA recall even though i have aftermarket springs and shocks.

Default So im over the outside mods, what should i do rims and tires, new springs...?

I dont think i want to chip if it is going to void my warranty because i like gettin all my speakers and amp replaced for 50 bucks anytime something goes out which happens a lot in this car. I got e codes because my headlights needed replacing and it was cheaper to keep the guts and get them than go through dealer because i was in a litte accident. I got a rs4 grill out of it too, too bad i didnt think of oettinger lip.
