Hi guys my name is Roman, and I have been on the forums for a couple of months, but never really posting. Well Im getting another audi, so I figured that I might as well come out of the closet. here is a couple pictures of my old ride, and my new one at the bottom.
HERE IS MY DILEMA. I am going to be buying this car on Monday, but it doesnt include the key. I thought it might be a good idea to ask around on here if anyone got into a wreck on this car, and might have the extra key. I will pay for it.!!!
Thanks very much!

And I also have a couple of questions. Does the car S4 look lowered? or is it supposed to look like that.. also I know it is wrecked, but I like working on cars, so this is more of a project for me.
Is the previous owner on this forum? If they are, please contact me.
Thanks.

Buy a new one from the dealer... why?

I bought this car for 4k dollars, repairs will be around 3k dollars. Total for my car is 7k. You paid around 25-30k and with intrest you will pay 35k, that means that you DO NOT own the car. I do.

Well, here is a picture of it before I repaired it.

Guess how much it cost me... 3550 for the parts/paint/labor.

my A4 fender, 1 headlight (non xenon) and bumper cost about $2500 last time.

but still its a good deal if its not totalled, and you can put custom bodykit bumper.

Good luck. Look forward to seeing the car.

i just don't know too many people who are into that, but if you are, the more power too you...


sweet stuff

I bought a set of new Ecode housings, new Xenon kit, a Reiger RS4 bumper along with a seperate bumper reinforcment bar (wanted to keep my OEM bumper intact) and had the bumper painted all for less than 1500.00 total.
For another 1000.00 I could add two new fenders and a new hood (fenders ~260 ea hood is ~370). Fenders I'd likely buy used from a yard but with freight a hood might be as cheap from my dealer. A quick search of car-parts.com shows a set of fenders available (125$ ea. ... both within driving distance.
If he has patience in sourcing parts and does the work himself, he can be under 3000 pretty easily. Especially if he can shoot it himself.

so I didnt do anything.

I dont remember the exact number as well.

but yeah, if you search the part yourself, maybe it will be much cheaper.

audi in US cheaper?

1st pic is the best to determine, but definitely lower than stock. Will have to peek under to determine springs or coilovers, but not the stock 'Allroad' height.

Hard to view clearly, but see the huge wheel gap in my stock S4 in the background...

The 'before' pic:

Looks like the ICs may have taken a hit, pretty sensitive to leaks so probably need those replaced as well if damaged, in addition to the obvious cosmetic issues. Good luck in the reconstruction... labor of love.

But hey, you have the perfect excuse to now mount Euros &amp; possibly an RS4 bumper, you already have the RS4 center grill to match.

The 'after' pic:

Good luck &amp; hope you have it on the road soon.

Cheers,

I have gotten some pretty sick deals on Audis here in Canada, but there are not as many S4s here as there are in the states so the rules of supply and demand apply.
