Project Fatality... continued

Well where did we get to then… Last time we updated this project we were wheeling the Audi out of Chris at Kustom Kolors booth after achieving the matt finish we were looking for! This was the Friday before the Players show where the car was to be debuted. Then it all kind of went wrong for a while!

I had this crazy idea that 20’s would work on the car after selling a set of 19″s the same style that week.. How wrong could i of been. Whilst an awesome wheel we just couldn’t get the car down low enough on these wheels once the tyres were mounted ( A story in itself but lets save that one!)

The wheels (20″ Rs4’s with Yoko S-drive’s.)

When test fitted before the tyres we were feeling very smug with ourselves and though we had it nailed oh well you cant win them all, It did look nice though at this stage.

But it wasn’t to be so with a few hours before leaving for the Players show in Essex it was stressful times (For which i apoligise for my grumpyness to everyone). Chris had an Idea…. What about them wheels of Ollies S4… Humm they couldn’t work could they…? At this stage i was stressed and couldn’t even be botherd anymore but after a call to Ollie we pulled one off to give it a try and damm i think we could be out of the shit! Game on for tomorrow we will go to the ball! (I Have to say a HUGE thankyou to Ollie for helping us out!). Getting to the show was stress free with a carfull we arrived at the show to be greated with this!

The car was greeted with mixed feelings alot of people enjoyed it but a few didn’t…Cant win them all i guess. At this point I stood back and felt so proud of everybody (G-werks Boys – Chris) that made this happen in just over 1 week.. (See previous post). I also need to thank my wife Claire for putting up with me and the late nights…

Anyway once home the car had to go back on it crappy stock wheels so the S4 could be driven again, The hunt was on for somthing to fill the gaps! In steps friend and customer Rob who we are in the process of upgrading some parts on his A4. It was decided that the Auto Coultures no longer suited his needs so …Can you see where this is going ?……

We needed to get the paint out on these to suit the car but as these were specced for a A6 when i imported them a few years ago they fit like a glove!

The wheels are Auto Coulture Cresents and the only set in the UK

Approval from the Boss

My attempt at showing off how the car now sits in a slightly Arty way….

More to come in the next few weeks i hope….
