Default Newbie 03 A4 Avant Question

Just picked up my slightly used 03 A4 Avant (75 miles). The dealership says it has the sport package on it, and it certainly does have the 6 spoke wheels and P235/45R17 tires. However, I'm wondering if someone just switched out the wheels for an otherwise non-sport edition Avant.

So my question: how else can I tell if this car has the sport package on it? Is there anything that I can look for in the suspension or under the hood? Many thanks.

Default wheel gap for starters... 1" vs. 3"

75 miles? hardly used.

Shock color should be red (not black), I think??

Default On the B5 the sport shocks are red, also check the spare tire

well there should be a sticker in there with packages.

Default remember too avant rides lower in rear vs. front...

due to weight distribution.

the rear tire should "tuck" nicely...

while the front will give you a small 2 finger gap...

Where is the build sheet normally located in the Avant? (I don't have a trunk!) Will is say "Sport Pcks." or is there some code that I should be looking for? Thx.

sticker in the spare tire well.
