started by marking the fender flare so i could actually cut the metal to widen the wheels


Now to cut some metal


i needed to make the side skirt come out from the body to match the fender flare, so a custom side skirt extenstion is invented.
start with cardboard and messure(i fiberglassed the cardboard)







The back was more of a challange because of the door but no problem little extra steps



bondo glassed the flares to the bare metal, also fiberglassed the flare to the bumper and side skirt



i only had 3 flares so i had to duplicate one. check it out


this side is on but not done



odds and ends of the finishing steps








also did between the door and flare


shaved the rear bumper


as it looks now should be done in a few weeks(it wont stop raining)


all of this was done by me and me alone

[dgirouard39]

not bad... are you going to get a good paint job or keep it primer? what about. any isues with chipping or peeling yet?

[k04pwrd]

I put satin white on for now untill spring comes then nogaro blue, no chipping or peeling.

[k04pwrd]

Wait chipping or peeling from what?

[dgirouard39]

Wait chipping or peeling from what?

from the kit lol... yeah i think the blue would look good. what wheels you gunna run? width? 11" rear?

[k04pwrd]

Yea rear 10.5 or 11, 9.5 in the fronts
For now I have my 9.5 rs4 wheels, gotta find the right wheels I'm piky. Summer is paint job and wheels. Next month meth,frankenturbo, mold an 03 Audi rear lip. Ill keep posted

Pretty cool procedure in the beginning i thought (without scrolling down) what the F*** is this guy doing...but seems like it's gonna turn out good. keep us posted!

Not a huge fan of the hood or front bumper, but looks pretty close to OEM actually. Impressive sir!

[It's Big Ty]

Looks good. Really turned around from your original plan. And what do you mean by an 03 rear lip? Like this http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B5_A4-.../Body/Spoiler/

[k04pwrd]

Rear bumper spoiler

I wanna do this wing

[It's Big Ty]

So a diffuser is what you want. Look up BENI_BOY on Audizine. He molded a B7 RS4 diffuser to a B5 RS4 rear bumper. Should give you an idea of what the finished product might look like.

[crazexr7]

Huge turn around. Not a fan of rieger bumpers still or the hood but the rear diffuser should look nice. I've seen it on beni_boy's car and it looked pretty great.

Any ideas on paint? Hopefully all one solid color!

[k04pwrd]

Yea one solid color, thinking nogaro blue, but things may change over winter

[It's Big Ty]

Widebody noggy would look really good. Or maybe Cactus Green.

[CactusAvant]

I love where this is going. Can't wait to see how it ends up
Nogaro would be sweet. Thought about the coffee brown color?

[ElliottG]

Wait, so you used cardboard to extend the side skirts?

Props on the work, though. Can't diss that cause I know what it's like doing body work.

[k04pwrd]

Yea used cardboard it holds its flatness on a long surface, I put 3 coats of fiberglass(its hard as a rock at this point) before it went on the car so I could rivit it on to the car. Sorry it's not tht descriptive
Ill post a picture of wat it's gonna look like thru winter, in a few days. For the past few days now I've been stripping my rims of all the paint tht me and the po(previous owner) had on them. Turns out they are CHROME.... So it should be done in a few days ill post pictures
Thanks for liking it
