Cleaning up the front end

Inorder to clean up the front end I got the plate holder paint matched, paint matched the side markers, removed the laminex film on the fogs, added a cupra lip and clear cornered the headlights. This thanksgiving I finally had the time (and balls) to take apart my headlights and retrieve the ugly amber corners to replace them with the clean looking clear ones. This process was the final step of completing my front, overall giving the B7 a cleaner look.

Stock (when first purchased):

First the paint matched plate holder:

Then came the painted side markers (just used spray paint) and removed laminex:

Not so long after I did that some ahole thought it'd be nice and leave me a nice present (was now repaired during winter break):

Then the cupra lip:

Then finally the headlights:

Valentine V1

I purchased a Radar Detector (Valentine V1) in the Winter time, but only hardwired it this summer. Here are a couple photos.

New Brakes

It was time for some new brake pads, decided to go with Hawk Performance Pads that were not supposed to only help braking performance but greatly reduce brake dust that the OEM are so well known for. Figured I'd go ahead and replace the rotors as well, so I went ahead and ordered some Adam's slotted and dimpled rotors mostly for aesthetics purposes. Overall the pads are fantastic and have greatly reduced the brake dust.

15mm Rear Spacers

Shortly after I did the A8 rings I came across a great deal for 15mm spacers w/ extended lug nuts and immediately purchased them. I was looking for a pair of spacers for a while so this was perfect. It would push out my rims to make them even with my fenders. Which will aid in the beefier trunk "look."

 Put anti-seize on to ensure it doesnt seize to the rim

Its been far to long since I've updated this Blog but anyways...

In September I went ahead and purchased some A8 rings which were going to replace the current ones on the car. I saw some people do it in the forums (Audizine) which I thought suited the trunk of the b7 very well. This of course gave me the perfect excuse to clean up the trunk a bit by removing the other badges. Here are a few pictures of the process; I dont have all the pictures of the steps because I got way to lost during the process.

Before

Used fishing line and a hair dryer to remove the badge then outlined it with tape to prevent myself from spreading the goof off everywhere.

With the badges removed and stock audi rings

Comparison of the old and the new rings :D

Old rings removed and I taped off where the old rings where to ensure correct placement of the new A8 rings

 Another size comparison once the A4 rings were off

 Finished product, must say I like it a lot better also gives the b7 trunk a beefier look which I'm going for.

Yellow Foglight Covers

So I like to browse the forums a lot and saw a Black Audi RS4 with yellow foglight covers and thought it looked awesome. So after thinking about it and researching a bit on the internet I ordered some yellow foglight film from laminex. The order came in today and I immediatley installed them. They look great! And in my opinion gives the front end a little more character.
