Anyway, why on earth you'd want to remove the Audi emblem on the grill I have no idea. It just shouts "I ran out of ideas and money but modifying=improving right?", nothing much cheaper than ripping a badge off. Whilst you're at it, put "Lexus" rear lights on, that will look reet-classy.

Because the car is covered in sleek, smooth lines and the badges ruin that. Its not to everyones taste, but I *hate* badges. The ones that suit the car, and fit in with the lines are fine, but the ones that are just slapped on anywhere look awful.

Example - before and after pic. Ignoring "after" is covered in dust, are you honestly saying it looked better before?

I'm using 8000k hid's

In which case you'll probably need almost-purple lights to make it look right.

6000k versus halogens - they look stupid by comparison:

Not that easy mate, recession still hitting Ireland hard.

It's only better now because nobody knows it's a diesel :rolleyes:

Although the exhaust pipes are still a bit of a giveaway :P

well than stop spending money. instead of wasting money,collect it,put it away and when the day comes,do it.

LOL. Trust me, if you get near you can hear it's a tracto- I mean, err, diesel.

Lads yer all coming too a conclusion that I'm changing the car too a space shuttle off some sort im only doing a few small mods nothing spectacular, suggestions like no tints or tints I know it's a diesel I'm not trying too hide it why would I if i wanted a performance car i would off got one, I do lots and lots off mileage so a diesel is most sufficient...

also the car has a factory fitted Quattro kit not some sh*t plastic aftermarket bumpers it's pretty much a standard car besides wheels,suspension,HID conversion and lowering springs

I'm not trying too make it look like a RS4 either why would I ? the RS4 badge is gone ! still has front and back audi emblems and I don't plan on taking them off the wheels are not some cheap Halfords sh*te there original BBS split rims. Another thing I'm not putting neons, lexus lights or any off that on the car so stop with the stupid suggestions if you do not like the car thats your opinion so dont try and be funny with the stupid suggestions,as I said the car is staying pretty much the way it is now but I'm just asking for a few small affective mods no stupid cheap stuff just genuine stuff.

@Sinbad you don't seem too be familar with "euro style" and no I'm not a drug dealer, If I was I wouldnt be driving a 1.9 tdi Audi A4 worth about 4 or 5 pounds would I so less off the smart crap talk.. not very funny.

@Jakg you seem too know what I'm talking about, the rs4 badge was actually on the car when I bought it and pretty much took the pics straight away and wanted too get the badges removed properly without damaging the paint work, my 8000k bulbs seem too be a bit bright how do you find the 6000k ?

In that case it has made little difference imo, the badges are not particularly fussy or ruining any lines, but then removal of them has not left too large a space glaringly obviously devoid of any accent or punctuation (as would be the case with removal of Audi grill badges.

Hasn't that car got a tow-bar on it anyway? I think "debadging" for sleek, smooth lines is a bit like pi$$ing in the wind

Only kidding, if it's yours you have a nice looking car, I like that colour. My brother used to have one in that blue, and it looked pretty mean at night

Maybe then you could afford a sense of humour and realise I was not actually suggesting that you're a drug dealer. Still, German saloon, phat wheels, blacked out windows, riding really low, over defensive attitude. If the boot fits.

LOL


6000k's are ok but still a little too blue (looks cool but reduces overall light output). OEM Xenons are 4300k for a reason.

The higher you go, the more purple it gets - the most usable light is around 5000k, higher and you can see less.

No towbar only badge that I took off is the RS4 badge thats what i plan too stay at. colour does look really well when clean but hard too I'll have too get a few more recent pics up. everything inside the car is standard seats,radio everything the only thing thats not is my "TOM TOM" lol

And yes we finally did get snow in Ireland . @ jakg ya I get alot off people flashing at me thinking it's my full beams, I would like too get the white light rather than blue/purple that I have, you know off any good kits ?

Car looks well as it is Sully.. You coming back into lfs?
