I'm Back in a B7

Post by Jules » Tue Oct 25, 2016 4:12 pm

Well I'm not sure how this happened but ive bought another b7 thats quite modified and I want to tame it back :shock:

Some of you may know me and that's not something I would normally say.
Its a black avant but it has black and red carbon roof rails, aerial and abc pillars and grill, which I don't like even though done to a very high standard.

So firstly I am after replacements for these parts, also it has carbon rear view mirror and armrest, again parts I want to replace with standard in any colour or finish.

So a couple of questions and I cant believe I cant even remember this stuff, but can the front grill surround be bought
separate and has any one purchased one of the cheap replica armrest lids ?

Many thanks
Jules

Ah, recognise the reg plate from trolling the net looking at pictures and ideas for wheels. If I recall correctly you've had many wheels on that car.

Welcome back jules. I remember you. I remember you winning a car show award for it. But please, put up a different pic with different alloys on. These alloys don't do the car justice. I wonder if I still have a pic of it where it was looking awsome.

Welcome back to the B7 club Jules!

No, Audi only sell the grille as a complete unit. You could of course wrap or spray yours to get it back to a matt black (or any other colour).

PS your old da vinci wheels are still on this forum on Lady Penelope's red convertivble.
