Re: Audi A4 (b5-b7) front grille conversion PROJECT
Hey guys, I'm alive. Work is crazy lately causing some major changes in my plans. I can't give away any current pics just yet but here are some old progress shots that i forgot to post along the way. Don't worry, i haven't given up on this thing just yet. I'm actually very close at this point but am holding off on posting pics.
Picture just before I went slightly wider all around
Had some issues with the rear lip i ordered so i decided to heat up the stock lip and shape / mold it how i wanted. then i just molded the bumper in on each side, leaving the appearance of a stock diffuser like the newer a4's and s5.
(before)
(during)
(more during)
just before i began molding...
begining stages of joining the bumper to the lower valence
Heres a shot after molding but still in the very rough stages. the bumper isn't connected on the sides....thats why it looks like it doesn't match up right.
Heres my last teaser preview for now....stay tuned! i might sneak in some taillight conversion pictures soon

Re: Audi A4 (b5-b7) front grille conversion PROJECT
Just throwing out the idea of selling my project. I just bought an 05' Subaru STi recently and I'm debating keeping my Audi or not. If you have been following my build you know about the million hours I have into this car. Its a 98 A4 with 2008 front end conversion and full widebody. I also recently started in on A3 Euro Tail lights and am almost finished. Car has close to 140K on the motor and runs amazing. Completely new control arms, bushings, rod ends. Oil and services always maintained. The car will be completely ready for paint. I do need a car for my girlfriend and would be willing to trade for a WRX. If you havent seen the car already, heres a few pics:

Why would you sell your hard working project? That's just nuts. This is the best Audi conversion and it makes it unique, not to say that if you sell it you will not get back the hours, money and effort you put into this car. I would say that you keep it, and enjoy what you have done, maybe start workin in the interior or under the hood etc. you have a wonder here, don't sell it, unless an emergency pops up. Great looking project! The best I've seen.
