Probably the best bet would be to fit an S4 hood on an A4. The others are probably significantly different as different platform. Would be expensive to have a fabricator modify the hood. But,...

niray99 The cost of a rebuild all depends on who's doing it. I'm not sure how much labor would cost, as I do the work myself, but I'm guessing 8hrs of labor charged. The parts also depend on where...

The Hood

I've been wondering what it is that seems to make the A4 seem a bit plainer than I first thought. Then, it occurred to me: the hood. The hood is mostly a smooth, nearly flat, sheet of metal. This...

Take it to approved shop

Damage under the bumper is often not visible from outside. The bumper structure likely needs to be replaced. This is a much more costly repair than what appears in your picts.

Cities are hard on German cars

Two things jumped out

Generally, the A4 is a great car. But, two things jumped out:
- The driver side door armrest is too far outward to actually use without leaning over. It should be the same distance from the driver...

Yeah, but HOW MUCH play is too much?

This is where the experienced mechanic comes in. I changed my front CAs a few years ago and I think it was necessary, but never was I really sure.

Now the rears need changing. But no one sells a...

Three arm is better

the pointy tip is the bearing, but yeah you can smooth this out a bit.

The A3 and TT don't really compare

The A3 is a hatchback or wagon and doesn't come with manual trans. Otherwise I would be considering this car.

The TT is a sports car not a coupe. It compares with the Boxster or S2000.

I assume your trying to avoid jail time...

as loss of license ( or ability to get a licence ) is a given here. Also, hefty fines are most likely.

Unfortunately, a lawyer may be able to get the suspension and fines reduced. Just be sure...
