Talking My Berger wannabe...

Hey whats up forum, i`ve been on this site for a long time but i never really posted any pics of my car...

its a A4 98 z28 with 64xxx kms, it used to be red, but then a major makeover ocurred and this is the result...

Now it has an LS6 engine and some bolt ons... and also, now it has a t56

Before:








AFTER =D :




















To do list:

-SS rear spoiler
-z06 gunmetal wheels on the way

the dash panel was damaged when i took the pictures but now its fixed.


I`m sorry if this thread doesnt belong here but since its custom modification i thought this was the correct place for it. And also sorry if my english isnt perfect but im Mexican and this is not my native language =P

Cheers from Guadalajara, Mexico!

i agree with you 100% but since they are "home made" i had no experience with the masking tape and like Homer said, "its my first day!" ... as soon as i buy the SS rear spoiler, i`ll re-paint the bumper and try to do the stripes with the same curves as the original berger... thanks for your comment!
