We have not so many potholes where I live. And when there are potholes on the street I don't drive there. I use the car only in summertime and not on every day. So it's no problem with these tyres and the extremely depth!

I drive a Smart City Coupè for every day! I don't know if you know this car in the states. It`s a very small but funny car manufactured by DaimlerChrysler!!!

Default What I Like...

I like the flared fenders. Wondering how hard to do that on an aluminum car?
Wheels/tires a little big. I would do an in-betweener.
Debadged rear end looks great.
Shaved door handles also look great.
Suggest you do something else with the grill. Maybe aluminum bars. Get rid of the 4 rings.
Also, I hate the small passenger side mirror Suggest installing S8 aluminum mirrors or adopting BMW mirrors.
Could do something with the tail lights Neon bulbs?
Could you adapt Allroad suspension parts to change the ride height to meet road conditions?

I'm just on the way to do something with the grill to get rid of the rings! Also I'm thinking about something with the mirrors. But I want to use a smaller one on the drivers side!
The suspension parts of the allroad are not the problem to fit on the A8. This is easy to do. But the other technic for this system is very difficult to adapt! But I will think about a system like this to change the ride height!

You have some very good ideas! What's about your car???

Default PAFRRIEND now FREDINPA

Sorry, don't actually own an A8 yet... My ideas on the smaller mirrors would be to attempt to fit mirrors from a BMW M3. I saw a set fitted to a VW in the October 2000 issue of European Car magazine. Don't know if they are heated or if power mirrors but think they are. The mirrors are smaller than the Audi mirrors and have a nice shape. They are held to the car with two posts so you can see out around the mirror looking forward. Reduces a so-called "blind spot".

Let us know what you do with the front grill.
