brownswood Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I seem to be gettin a bit of stick from my other half and a couple of friends who dont like the door lfares i added. i am thinking of spraying them to match the car but before i do i thought i would off you lot a chance to buy them before i do, i will of course give a discount on the RRP i paid and they are new apart from doing about 500miles on the car in the past few days, so if you are interested just PM me if not these lot will just have to get used to em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I know some people that don't like my door flares. I do so stuff 'em. My car. My choice. Do you like yours or not? p.s. I'm not really trying to start a war between you and your wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantate59 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Keep the door flares on - they look good. However, if it was up to me I would paint them. It has always troubled me that Audi didn't paint them on the B6 S4s. It works for black, grey and moro blue but on red, yellow and the lighter blues (nogaro and sprint) I think it looks like an afterthought. At least with the B7 Audi have had a re-think. Keep 'em, but paint them. Never mind what the wife or friends say - what do they know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadwhitey Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 if you bought them because you liked them then i think you should keep them on and get them paint IMO anyway cant see what stick you can get for them as they go with the sport bodykit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18ME Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I know I'm going to throw a spanner in the works here but IMO I think they do suit the S4 and S-Lines but not the bodykitted cars as I think it looks too much with them and the side skirts.. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownswood Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 thanks for the support guys but im still listening if anyone is interested, at least until next week as then they will most likely get painted while its in the shop. 18me - this is kinda what i am hearing from my friends, appreciate your opinion. i do think though if the car gets lowered and they get painted it will look great trouble is that more than i can afford right now and you know how it is when you have the idea in your head haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I personally wouldn't have a kit AND the door flares. And I'd paint them. How much did you pay for them? I want to get a lip spoiler and the door flares for my B6 saloon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whimsical_chris Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Think they look great, not sure if they should be the same colour as the body or a little darker, but they do look very nice ! Keep em, or sell them to me !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said side skirts and flares look too much. My old car with side skirts and no flares. I have seen one like my old car with unpainted flares and it just look wrong.

Sparky Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I stand corrected. I was told I had side skirts by Dealer Monkey, but after seeing yours, I clearly don't! Yeah, I'd agree (now that I know what I'm on about!). Side skirts and flares would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
