Well,

It started off with this:

--Debadging of the trunk--
as well as finally finishing removing the rest of the pinstriping on the side of the car(sigh)

--painting the grill a glossy black--
no more gray worn out and faded slats, as well as chrome edge- =) black it out a bit look.. and yes, the chrome rings will be put back on.

fyi- this has yet to be finished (due to excessive amount of clear coat being put on)
which is the explanation for upcoming photos where grill is missing =)

and now, since these will be the summer wheels, my sport 5 spoke 16's will be my winter wheels, which are currently now being painted to gun-metal and so far loooking fineee. will post pictures soon. =)



--oh and how could i forget?
also, the HID conversion kit- decided to try em out, and so far so good! road is definitely lit much better as well as the projection lens focuses the HID very well, definitely happy with the results for the money. =)

Looks good. My A6 is no where near that condition.

A6AvantErik: MCS

A6AvantErik: MCS

EDIGREG

Greyhound Guy

Yeah, thats my baby.

through the dust cover so that the seal around the dust cover does not crush the wires. the ballasts i used to secure down with 3M heavy duty double sided sticky tape. the set was 120$, "Xentec" brand, everything has worked fine so far- and brightness and visibility has definitely increased.
I'll take pics soon.

I thought you took out the stock ones and replaced with black ones in the lift gate.
