Hey guys!
Been a while since I've browsed the Stanceworks forum, so thought I would post up a new build thread.
Some of my previous cars are here -

My latest project is a 2006 Audi A6 Avant. It is the 2.0 tdi with a 7 speed auto box. On the most part the car was pretty solid when i bought it. There was a very bad vibration when accelerating which scared me, as it could be the gearbox causing the fault.. and that would be a 1k+ fix. In the end it turned out to be a driveshaft, so a nice easy fix!
First thing to do was get the car low, and in this case, I used the bags off my old Audi A4 B7. They were extended and fitted -
The problem with the A4 B6/B7 and A6 C6 chassis is that the upper wishbones catch on the chassis and dont allow the front to sit low enough. 10mm can be saved by cutting off a rubber nipple that sits on top of the wishbones.
To be a bit more extreme, you will need to get the grinder out and cut away at panel directly above the wishbones. So this is what I did.
The front bumpers do scoop upwards so that doesn't help the matter either. To rectify this I bought a Maxton Design splitter.
Next came some wheel test fits. I love big monoblock style wheels, but really would prefer tucking as i didn't want to destroy my arches.
Rotiform WRWs.
I decided to buy some Rotiform BLQs are a temporary wheel, and liked them quite a bit in the end! 19" x 9.5" square setup.
The next set was to hide my boot build away. I ***** the thought of damaging the tank, and the noise from the compressors. Easiest solution was to drop everything in the wheel well.
A bit of wiring to tidy!
I'm afraid I currently dont have any completed pictures of this, but its not a show piece anyway.
After a month or so, I grew bored of the BLQs and found some INDs for sale quite cheap. The colour wasn't to my taste, but they were cheap, and felt in my head that they suited the car.. Looking back, I dont think they did!
Maybe it was just the colour letting them down? so off to the powder coaters!
Managed to find some genuine alloy Rotiform centre caps for a steal! £30 posted. had to buy them.
Next up came the interior and a bit of arch work. I wanted the console to be Daytona grey, to match the rest of the car.
The rear arches also needed attention, so I have them rolled and repaired too.
They pulled out a huge dent on the right hand side, and some other minor repairs.
Not the greatest pics, but the interior is painted.
Final pics of the rear arches.
