Default new 2001 audi a6

I just bought a used white 2001 audi a6 2.7t. I want to do some mods to set it apart from every car on the road. I need some ideas on rims; size, color, style. Suspension upgrades, body mods like grills and lights. I would like to run dual exhaust pipes but I do not know how to go about installing them. Any ideas anyone?

Default set apart

Slow down and wait to see how the car is holding together first.
you never know but the only thing that may separate your car from the rest is the color of the tow truck carrying it.
what's the mileage on it? do you have any service history?

It has 96k on it, all the service has been up to date. Steering r&p replaced, timing belt, accessory belt, water pump, fuel pump. Both pans have been replaced. The turbos have also been serviced. The whole engine is spotless and was kept up very well. So the car is reliable, that is not a problem at all.

No we just had newer ones put in just because we wanted to have everything spotless.

You just had newer ones put in so it would be spotless?? It's not like changing the spark plugs - how much did that cost you?
