Hi everyone! My names Scott and I have an 04 S4 that likes to eat any and all money I have in my wallet. It's a lovely Nogaro Blue with a handful of wrong mods. lol.

Hey Scott,

Welcome to EA! We all know Nogaro is the best color! What mods do you have on the car? Future plans?

Post some pictures!

Thanks Joey,

I'll take the flack for the europlate, it's going back in the window once I get my clean filler plate painted in a few weeks. It was the lesser of two evils since the dealer I bought it from drilled a huge rubber plate bracket onto the bumper and it had rubbed the paint off in areas so I couldn't use just my state plate.

As for mods I have an APR 93 tune, Carbonio Intake, Piggie Pipes, APR non-res catback, JHM Crank Pulley, JHM Intake Manifold Spacers, Cupra R Lip, DTH Sideskirts, H&R Lowering Springs, Bilstien Shocks, Stern ST1 and LM Rep wheels both 19x8.5's and I believe that's it.

Unfortunately the car is sliptronic so as much as I really wanted to go the performance route I've come to accept it for what it is. I'm still going to make it quick and fun, but my focus has shifted from more go to show. I've ordered new wheels, the ECS Big Brake kit and I'm debating a boser hood and coils vs air-ride at this time.

Very nice! Sounds like you have some nice mods coming along. What color did you get with the ECS BBK? You should go with the JAZZ blue as it looks amazing on the Nogaro.

What wheels did you end up ordering?

Your performance mods are not bad at all. Only recommendations i would make are to ditch the intake and get the JHM tune. What size exhaust are you running? Stock downpipes?

Thanks Joey,

Thanks! It's getting there. Knowing what I know now I would have gone with almost everything JHM, but I have my reasons why I have APR. I don't really wish to knock a company that did so right by me, but if you're curious why feel free to PM me.

As for the brake kit you nailed it. I went with the Jazz Blue setup and the multi-piece slotted rotors. As for wheels, I ordered a set of Rotiform NUEs for now until I find something else I like. They were too good of a deal to pass up as I paid less than $900 shipped to my door for new 19"s. The APR exhaust is a bit of a one-off. It's all 2.5in ID piping to my factory downpipes that have been gutted. It was very quiet when I first got it so we removed the huge resonator and it made all the difference in the world. Next mod is to remove the amber out of my headlights, but Im a bit scared to separate them.
