MonzaAvant's OEM Plus build thread
 

Having now owned my 10' A4 Avant for almost a year and I half I decided to start modding and document those mods through this thread.

Here she is on delivery day. Bought her sight unseen from a dealer in California and had her shipped to Chicago.

Stay tuned for more mods...

Nice! Keep them coming.:)

Looks good. I just plastidipped my grille, fogs and rear valence this weekend and it is amazing to see how much better the grille looks black instead of grey. I really like the contrast the black makes on your Monza.

^Thank you ...Funny you mention those other pieces. I'm dropping off a few parts at the painters tomorrow to complete the look.

Good. I noticed they could use a refresh compared to that grille. Are you going gloss or matte? I don't think I have seen gloss fogs...could be nice. Post pics when complete!

MOD:

Valence and splitter painted a satin black.
Painter recommended not painting the fogs because they would easily peel without a good amount of prep work.

This was bought from http://www.ngpracing.com/store/

Then I did some re-badging.

Garage Mods
 

Took a week off car modding to mod my garage.
Here are a few pics. Floors are still not 100% cured.
