Here’s another avant from across the pond, this time a lovely B7 A4 Avant in Norway owned by Ove. Although we can get B7 Avants here in the US, this avant is unique for two reasons – it has a 2.0 TDI engine (not available in the US), and a truly unique style. As an added bonus, Ove provided me a few pictures of the RS2 he owned previously, which you can find near the end of this post.
Even more unique, is that this car keeps this style through summer and winter, albeit with different looks. Those who live in snowy climates often change the wheels in the winter and raise their suspension so that the winter, salt/sand and other road debris doesn’t take its toll on their car and wheel setup. Not Ove, who runs snow tires but stays low and wide otherwise on Rotiform BLQ replicas powdercoated light blue in 8.5×19 ET45 with 25mm H&R spacers, and Achillies winter tires in 225/35R19. He then adds the foglights, swaps out a BMX bike for a snowboard, changes the headlight film and adds three fog lights above.
In summer, the car ditches the light blue accents for yellow with a set of Zito 935 9.5×19 ET30 with Achillies ATR Sport tires in 225\35R19. The BMX bike was powdercoated yellow to match the wheels, and the Lamin-X headlight film is also changed out to yellow to pull the theme off completely.
And there you have it – year ’round style from Norway on this B7 TDI Avant. Thanks Ove!
I own a a4 avant 3.2l b7 myself and would like to know how you were able to install those sweet fog lamps, please any advice or break down on how you design it would be great.
Hi Andreas – it would be a custom project as there is no plug and play kit for this, so you can pretty much buy any fog lamps you prefer. I like the Hella lamps personally.
Do you know the color code on the yellow rims?
