if i do that to my regular headlights, wont that ruin the whole being able to see at night thing?

So, i need to get a Brake booster and a Power steering pump from the B4 and then just plop it in? Do you know of a write up?


I am excited about getting this car!!! At least this one drives too! My 200 has been sitting for a little over 2 years now and im tired of waiting to fix it in small spurts.

no it wont affect light dispersal in any way. look at mine.Image

just the surrounds, not the bowl/reflector.

there are a few writeups on doing the booster mod. the P/S pump may seem like its different being up on top of the v6 but it had been said it fits just the same and is already without the high pressure pump part for hydro boost.

I see what you mean now, THat looks amazing and really gives the car some depth. I may just have to do this MC swap for the CQ. the Bomb can be expensive to replace!!! I appreciate the help Dave, good looking out!

no worries bud. you're going to be a member of a special club of coupe owners. we take care of each other. wait till you've driven it for a while. they're different than the other B3/B4 Audis, not necessarily better, just feel different. I have a B4 sedan as well and it drives great like an Audi should. possibly even handles a little better than the coupe. but I still like the coupe better. Others that have felt it too will tell you the same thing. don't hesitate to hit us up for questions and tips on fixing it up. I've had mine since 95, I know a few tricks.

shoot them back asking if they will do a return. Say you needed a B3 instead of a b4 or something. Then order the smoked

i asked, they accidently added the listing.

the lady Laura called their warehouse to double double check. I have a B4 front end for my Coupe, btw.

they are still out of the smoked corners and will let me know when they get them back in.

you could just lamin-x the corners, they look like they would be pretty easy to do.

so when are you getting this thing?

so there are no speakers that will fit decently in the rears? I have 6.5 Audiobahn speakers and the only problem i see with having them is that the Magnet is HUGE.
