Cheers!

I would not expect change out of 5k, and this is if you can get some parts second hand as opposed to paying stealer prices. Even things like facelift headlights where not cheap ...

No,sorry,I meant he would not do the conversion again, because it was such a pain!

He did it in his spare/slack time to recduce the costs for me, but it ended up taking a longer than expected, think it got tricky...

Okay, nice car though!
5k for the conversion, do you now think it was worth it ?

That is a very very good question!

Well, its quite a unique car, and I do really really like how it looks, still certianly brings a smile to my face when I look at it ...

So, for me, yes I would say its worth it ... I have no intention of every selling this car, but that means there is never going to be an end to moding it ... eek

Loads more pictures here

There are some pics with the front end done, and with the old 225 tires on for reference....

I notice you said Bonnet went on OK. Is the RS4 bonnet any different from an normal A4?

Post by **viperbl** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:33 pm

You know Mark I am not sure, I think it may well just be the same, thats why it went on ok!

I had to replace the bonnet anyway because it was damaged ....

The rs4 bonnet is taller in the middle , but only by a few mil..
He won't do a convertion again as he converted it from a pre facelift car too a face lift car on canbus , this ment changing all the loom and all the electrical items on the car..

I was talking about the bodyshop ... I had the wireloom/engine work done well before the widebody conversion.

Lol!

He was the second guy that had worked on the car to call me up and ask me why I just did not buy the Avant!

I thought you did an Avant Grizz, how about a saloon?
