Not a fan of the Ring debadge

It seems that this is an european thread ... ;-)
You have really nice Avant reklamkillen. What engine you have? What is the width and offset of your wheels. They seem to be perfectly flush with fenders. I guess they are Dotz Mugello wheels?

Like in Sweden, we have black roof rails as a standard in Finland. There are no separate window trims either as a standard, just black rubber around the windows. The extra price for alu roof rails is ~240 USD (172 EUR) and for chrome window trims you have to pay ~465 USD (330 EUR), in Finland.

There is a black optic package available now, for 2010 models. This package includes separate matt black trims for windows (not only black rubber). The package includes also totally gloss black grille, matt black roof rails, matt black license plate base and fog light covers.

It seems that the all chrome and shiny mouldings and trims are getting to be "last season" in Europe, at least in Finland.

By the way, are the S-line sideskirts standard in Sweden, like it is in Finland.

My 2009 white Avant 2.0TFSI quattro is more or less black and white style. There are no chrome trims in my car. Even the chrome exhaust tips have been painted black after purchasing them. I plan to get the OEM diffuser and paint it black with the white blade.
I would need to do something for the front bumper as well, perhaps to modify it to be a "poor man's" S-line bumper by painting the lower middle part of the bumper gloss black, like in this picture:

My brake calipers need paint also, black or white, not decided yet.
The window tints would look good, but in Finland it is not allowed to tint the windshield and front side windows at all. Some people tint only the rear window and rear side windows. In my opinion that does not look so good, it looks like a little bit like a funeral car :-)

Here's a couple of pictures of my car.
The wheels are 8,5 x 18" offset 35 Dotz Hanzo white, with Hankook Evo S1 tyres 225/45 18. The suspension is factory S-line suspension, which is a little lower than normal factory sports suspension.

One picture still, with the winter wheels and tyres.
The wheels are EtaBeta Tettsut Ceramic 8 x 18" offset 35 with Good Year Ice Navi tyres 225/45 18. The wheels came all white, but the spokes have been painted black afterwards.

BuzzL:

thanks for the nice coments on my car. you have a really nice A4 Avant yourself, because it´s white!!!

the wheels is as you say Dots Mugello, 255/35 - 19", the et i don´t know but they are really flush with the fenders. i have a sport suspension from factory but want to lower it some more, maybe with H&R springs.

when i ordered my car i was thinking of a black grill from the "optic-package but you couldn´t get it at that time. i recieved my car june 1, and now you can have the package. Hmm???

the rear diffuser will be changed to the OEM-diffuser painted black, not glossy black but satin. and i will also tint my windows, the five rear windows.

tanks for the positive mail and i will look forward to se the upgrades on your car.

best regards | pm
