B7 Audi A4, S4 and RS4 LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)

I just finished installing LEDs on my B7 Audi S4 and wanted to share some pics and a quick DIY if you want to do it yourself. Above I’ve pictured the before & after, as you’ll see you get rid of that yellow-ish halogen with a super bright & clean cool white color from the [...]

RS4 Grille + Lower Grilles Installed (plus other goodies)

I’ve owned the car just over two months, and as you might imagine I’ve wasted very little time in putting my personal touches on it and installing both aftermarket and OEM parts to enhance its looks and performance. I was lucky that a few of the aesthetic mods swapped over from my B7 A4, such [...]

How to fit an RS6 Grille on a B7 A4, S4 or RS4 (All Mesh – No Filler Plate)

This is a REALLY cool mod submitted to me by a reader and all-around cool guy Richard Edwards (aka BigRich). He did this on his car and was nice enough to write-up the process and share it with us. This should work on any B7 including the non-s-line version, but is pictured above in the [...]

19″ wheels on stock B7 Audi S4 Suspension

I was going to wait until after I got coilovers installed, but I got the itch to install my 19″ BBS CH Black Editions wheels this weekend and went ahead and gave it a shot. Normally I strongly recommend doing suspension before wheels, as it will make the wheels look 10x better, but at the [...]

 Note: This applies to any B6 or B7 Audi cars including the A4, S4, RS4 in both sedan, avant and cabriolet forms. Coding changes should be the same for European cars although your starting codes/numbers may differ slightly. Upon purchasing my 2006 S4, one of the first things I noticed was all of the annoying [...]

Today was a big day! I’m now the proud owner of a 2006 Audi S4. When I first saw her, I knew I had to buy it…she was everything I was looking for and then some. The vitals: 6 speed manual transmission (my first must-have) brilliant red (my second must-have) platinum silver interior RNS-E only 24,000 [...]

Coming Soon: The Audi R8 Limo – The Fastest Limousine in the World

It’s no secret that one of the reasons Audi cars rank so highly as performance vehicles is their engines. In addition to being used in the Audi-branded vehicles we all know and love, however, the automaker’s powertrains have also been used in other performance cars over the years. Among the interesting and exotic vehicles powered [...]

Top 5 driving accessories: What to wear when you’re on the road

Nowadays, driving is seen as more of a chore than a pleasure to some. Heavy traffic and hectic schedules means motoring is about getting from A to B as quickly as possible; the glamorous early years of the horseless carriage have been left on the lay-by like so many empty crisp packets. Far from dressing [...]
