Default Oooooooohhh yeahhh! Your car looks awesome!

IMO that is the nicest long wheelbase D2 A8 I've ever seen. Looks great w/ the 18's.
Makes me want to put the H&amp;R's on before we get the control arm sets in.

Congratulations!

Default That's sharp! I like that look a lot. Updated, but still subtle enough to

keep the 'sports' component contained within the bounds of 'classy', which is just right, especially on the "L" version. Perfect.

I suspect we will see more of these wheels on A8's, but truth is the H&amp;R's are what really pull it all together. I'm very critical of styling modifications, and this I like a lot.

I wonder how those wheels would look on there polished (not chrome)? Mmmm, that might be really nice, too...

Congrats on a nice job!

PS - my only suggestions: Re cleaning up the look just a bit more - is there any way to clear the corner lenses on those headlights? that would clean things up nicely in front. In the rear, It would look nice with just the rings, and a black license plate surround, to minimize the plate area, and keep the eyes as directed to the brightwork of the 'rings' as possible. just my .02... :-)

Have you been in for an alignment yet?

Default On second thought.

I think I'd keep the chrome plate trims, but lose the orange reflectors in the headlights, and probably still remove the A8L and 4.2quattro.
