My Nogaro Widebody is DONE! <mega BWW>

Details, mod list, and notes at the end:

Without the following people this project never would have happened:

Chris @ Wagonwork Collision - All the extra hours and attention to detail really paid off. Kudos!

Alex @ Europrice - Alex has been nothing but professional and attentive through the entire process. Alex found some extremely difficult parts for me at reasonable prices. I couldn't have done it without his footwork

Induktion Motorsports - For all the non-cosmetic mods.

Seatco - Installed the new OEM S4 seat skins on my RS4 seats.

Jared (snowtrooper) (no longer at stasis) - I never thought that a B5 could be streetable on 19" wheels. Thanks!

Donnie Scott - Your RS4 seat install information was invaluable during the interior work

Car Info:

2002 Audi S4 Nogaro/Nogaro @ 49k miles
- I'm her third owner and this is my second B5 S4. Nogaro is the BEST color on this car

AWE Stg 3
AWE DPs and Twin2
AWE DTS
AWE ICs
APR Bipipe
APR Snubmount
Vast Stage2 Clutch
OEM RS4 Transmission Mounts
OEM RS4 Motor Mounts
Stoptech 332 (front) and slotted stock rotors (rear)
Stasis/Ohlin Motorsport Coilovers
Volk LE37 19x9.5 et22 on 265/30/19 Michelin PS2s

OEM Euro headlight housings
OEM RS4 Widebody conversion with Euro-S4 rear bumper (obviously)
OEM RS4 Belly Pan
OEM RS4 fender liners
OEM RS4 mirror housings (OMG expensive)
OEM RS4 door sills
OEM RS4 front grill
OEM RS4 front seats reskinned with new OEM euro-S4 skins (OEM Recaro rear soon)
OEM RS4 Alcantara steering wheel
OEM RS4 Alcantara shift knob
OEM RS4 CF trim
OEM RNS-E navigation

The Future:
Track time - not sure I can bear to have her damaged on the track. The paint is currently FLAWLESS

Interior - The rear seat bench will be converted to the "Recaro" Euro-S4 version to match the front. I need to install a new cluster that I have on my shelf. I need to install the airbags into the front seats (courtesy of ebay). The RNSE needs to be trimmed to fit all the way into the slot.

Exterior - Missing Volk centercap is on it's way. I'm surprised that's the only part lost in this process

Power/Handling - Probably RS6s with Rosten rods in the winter. I already have the rods and will soon have RS6s. I'm hoping to keep it as simple as possible in the power department. And if someone wants to give me a good deal on Alcons, I'd consider them in the spring.

All in all, I have to say that I'm NOT burnt out like most widebody owners after the process. There was some stress and the obvious hassles of downtime, but things could have been worse.

I bought the car in May '07 and here she is, essentially done in a year and a half.

The costs have been HUGE and I would not recommend this conversion for anyone, since everyone is of different means. Do your own cost benefit analysis!

I'm just glad to be done and back on the road!
