Default I've been busy and unsure about the future of the A6..

.. but I ended up keeping it and making it better.

freshened up some of the paint, bought a new front bumper, no front plate and 4.2 door blades.

After driving the evo for the last few weeks, I am actually very happy to get back into the avant (hard to explain).

Nothing fancy, but the after:

Cheers, glad to be back,
Dan

Default I like it a LOT!

Is that a 20 or 19?

Where did you buy the 4.2 door blades?

Rid of it? I am keeping it now. "I have been" is past tense.

Default 19s, Ride is decent (H&Rs), Carson @ Riverside.

The winters tires rubbed some of the paint off of the fenders so I raised it up over the winter, haha.
