Matthew 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 how much does it all cost to get it with that wide body look, im looking to do it to an audi a6 or a4 i thought it looked sooo dope when i saw your car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
togate 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 mines not wide body, i have just rolled and pulled the rear out about 20mm and used a heat gun so the paint didn't crack. complete wide body can cost anywhere between 4 - 10k for a decent job not including kit. depends who you get to do the job. i have seen an a6 with just flares done properly i.e metal/fibre and its looked mint with 19x13 wheels. depends how serious you want to go.

steve R 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 im looking to get some coilovers, just a matter of finding the right ones at the right price, im still dark about how cheap you got yours what did you use to pull the guards? do panel beaters or body shops do that kind of work? just after some sort of guarantee that my paint wont crack.

Gt refinishers do awesome bodywork, and there are a few little custom shops out east. i used a guard roller with a steel roller.
