bearra Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I have spent a while looking at sorting out the rear tailpipe or lack of on the TDi, so looks like I'm gonna go with caractere rear kit. But on the front, sure I've seem them on here before, have a look at the valance extensions. I love them but want to know if anyone thinks they are tacky?

Chav Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 they are the ABT ones..... a fecking nightmare to get hold off. they only look good if the car is lowered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearra Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Haven't the dosh to lower at the mo, although the handling is in need of attention! Just don't want to go to far and look tacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The rear one looks fine, the front looks a bit "add on" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHo Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 IMHO, the back one is OK but dare I say the front one is a tad tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't want to go to far and look tacky [/ QUOTE ] lowering will make it look meaner, without having to spend money on anything else decent springs are under 200 quid. not sure of price to fit at the mo, but give AMD a call etc. Will give a handling and visual improvement. The TDI cab actually looks pretty nice from the back. The standard tailpipe valance looks cheap. Its always annoyed me, but I havent been bothered to change or paint it yet.

[/ QUOTE ] weird how you say that. i like them. to me, it looks just the same as the B6 sline front valance. which is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHo Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Just looked out the window to compare, it's the sticky out bits that don't do it for me, and yes the S-Line one is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I like both. I like the cab with the abt front valence, it looks far meaner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearra Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Thanks guys, I just sometimes look at the front at it looks high off the ground. Park next to an A4 S Line at work and the front bumper looks so much smarter with the extra bit along the bottom. Do you know any front bumper kits like the S line for the cab?

UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I guess you could ring your grabbing stealer, but the only one which is close if the ABT one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Go for it - it really beefs it up. You could fit some cheese cutters to the fog grills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_m Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 the front does look very good on that one but it also as Big wheels as its the S4, so will yours look as good??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Not an S4, just S4 wheels. Look at the mirrors and the front grile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 It really makes the front end look massive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I like that lower spoiler, looks discreet and as though it is integrated with the bumper. Said this before but I hate some of the U.S kits which look as though they have been tacked on. I have seen a ABT kit on a cab and it had a three part rear spoiler, looked rediculous, I would rather leave the rear end as is but would go for the lower colour keyed valence around the exhausts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearra Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Think boot spoilers look on the cab, the small lips look well nice on the saloon. But the lines with the roof down are just spoilt by anything added IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
