Enjoy!

 

those wagons are sick.........
Nice work as usual

 

the S6 wagon has a 6 speed manual trans from the 2.7t.

 

wow...... I look forward to more info!

 

Awesome work Phil! Any particular reason behind putting Opti-Coat on just the wheels? I'm looking to get a coating product and have been researching a lot.

-Kody-

 

the opti coat is a apply and you don't have to remove it.

however if you get high spots on the opti coat you will have to polish it down.

aquartz has a slick finish and customers love to feel a slick car.

 

Beautiful Phil....

 

Very nice Phil. I really like that color too!

 

Hey I prep that car for delivery!! its $2500 extra for that color

 

And the reason for that?

 

I guess there aren't many of them in this color....I don't know, but it was in the option list

 

Damn it! It figures. I can't afford my own tastes!! LOL

 

Sweet looking. Great job as always Phil !!!

 

Looks great!

 

Looks great Phil. I love how the metallic jumps. This pic is funny...it's like the jealous sibling looking around the corner:

 

love that pic as well should have somehow got the s6 in there as well.

Daytona Gray is a paint option that is Audi Individual Option.

 

Even though I commented on TS Phil.......it is "Tightness certified" you are swimming in Audi's there @ DD.

 

very nice.

but wait wait wait. WHERE did that S6 avant come from? what year is that thing? cant wait to see it.

 

s6 wagons were made only in 2002.

 

What a fantastic job Phil the car looks amazing
