MonzaAvant's OEM Plus build thread

MonzaAvant · 02-26-2012, 03:30 PM

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.

MOD: OEM A4 3.2 grille and filler.
Audi grille part # 8K0853651T94
Audi filler part # 8K0807287T94

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.

MonzaAvant · 02-26-2012, 06:04 PM

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

markinarch · 02-26-2012, 06:39 PM

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.

markinarch · 03-12-2012, 05:28 PM

Ohhh I like that black splitter. Nice clean valence too.

MOD:

Last week I decided to do a little debadgery.

This weekend I decided to continue the debadgery ...

...and I also had the chance to install the RGM Rearguard bumper protector.
This was bought from http://www.ngpracing.com/store/

Then I did some re-badging.

MOD :

Face lift shift **** on today's agenda.
Picked it up from http://www.bks-tuning.com/
Fair prices and quick shipping from Germany.
Install was fairly simple.

...and a shot of the back seat driver.
