Detailer's Domain Family Rig

Scenario: So a little addition to my family got me looking for a bigger vehicle. We needed to trade our R32 for something bigger. My first thoughts S6, S8, and Q7. After careful thought we decided to go for the Q7.
I looked for about 60 days, hoping to find a Q7 with S-Line, so after 2 months I found nothing so I decided to go for a 4.2 with low miles. I found a Quartz Gray one with 21k miles on it CPO. Pretty much everything I wanted, except for S-Line, Air Suspension, and AMI. (funny thing is 2 days after I pick up the Q, 3-4 show up on Autotrader...go figure....)

Anyway figured I would personalize the Q a bit with a few things.

H&R Lowering Spring
S-Line 21 inch wheels (done)
S-Line aluminum trim (on order from Tommy at Winner Audi)
2010 S4 3 Spoke Steering Wheel with paddles (from my 2010 S4 - waiting for my RS6 Euro wheel to come in- on order from Europrice)
2010 S4 Shift Knob (from my 2010 S4 - waiting on my Race Air S-Line knob for my S4 to come in)
Massive Paint Correction/Exterior/Interior Detail
AMI - (thinking about it)
Q7 V12TDI Aluminum Pedals - Gas/Brake/Dead Pedal - (on order from Europrice)
Take a look

Stock height (sorry for the iphone shots)




Lowered




Wheels 20 inch



Wheels 21 S-Line

Enjoy more mods and detail write up to come soon.

 

Congrats man!
it looks awesome!!!!
I like it a lot

 

cool suv Phil .... have you ever "not modded" one of your rides? LOL ... btw, I really like the subtle appearance mods that you are planning for this Q7.

 

maybe the fj cruiser...lol

 

It looks great! nice purchases there!

 

NO air suspension? Gotta love air suspension on my X5, it makes ride much more smoother, and handling much more precise...maybe because it's a BMW...:yikes:oke:

Nice ride, Phil! I really considered Q7 when I got my X5, but I liked it the most...to each their own, I guess...

 

got rid of my 2002 X5 4.6 a few years back...didn't think I would ever get another SUV...
I guess I thought wrong. Thought about getting an X5 but the Q7 had much more space...wife liked the Audi...

 

Has it been 6 weeks already?

lol

Beautiful ride, looks 10x better with the new S-line wheels. Enjoy!

 

yup it has been....more to come...

 

Holy crap Phil. Have you ever put more than 10k miles on a car? LOL Nice looking ride.

 

yes a few of them....rs6 for one and a few of the S4's I had..the last 6 no about 10k each..before I felt the need to trade up or down...love cars....all different shapes and sizes....lol

 

Your honestly like the Tiger Woods of automobiles...


just off to another ho' every couple weeks :giterdone:

 

sweet ride.

 

Looks sweet Phil. Now just paint that panel behind the license plate body color, will look wicked.


John

 

dsms, not even close...

 

john I will probably do the v12 tdi grill and get a gloss black filler plate.

 

Very nice ride Phil, I wasn't sure about the two tone scheme initially but the wheels and lowering really made the car much more cohesive. I would love to have even a small sampling of your past cars haha.

 

Congrats Phil for the purchase. I'm sure you will enjoy every mile with this Q7.

 

Now thats what I call a "family" car! Love the changes as of now!

 

Nice. I like the Q. Ill come see it this week.
