black out grille looks nice! Did you get the replacement part or paint the original yourself? Thanks

[Hesaputz]

He, we white guys gotta stick together - those Lava Gray and black guys do all kinds of pimpin Ethug neon ***** stuff to their cars, givin' A3's a bad name. Let's show em some taste and refinement.
My seats arrive monday, don't know when I'll have 'em in. But stay tuned- I'll start with the pics next week.

just because you are jealous that black ones will always look better doesn't mean you need to get all nasty and say we have neon.. thats very hurtful

[audiant]

no racism on my part. love black i originally ordered black but opted for white. but im not a fan of the neon on the headlights

Its not neon, its yellow film.. selective yellow to be exact which started with the French back inthe day trying to get all the european countries to have their own headlight colors.

It doesn't always look great with the film when the car is off ( happen to like this one alot ).. but I've got yellow fog light bulbs and low beams and it looks evil at night.. doesn't look neon at all when on.

pics of the d3!

yea i get u i only said neon to describe the color. i am a fan of yellow fogs but no matter how great the headlights look at night i still dunt like they way it looks during the daytime.

The film yes during the daytime doesn't always look right.. which is why I did bulbs.. can't tell during the day that they are different. other then the fact that I drive with them on all the time..

Video doesn't show the best color... but you get the idea..(oh and we weren't actually racing.. seriously... just both happened to be in A3s and were playing around on the way home from dinner)
