Hi everyone, i was looking for a body kit for my 2002 A4.
And i stumbled on these.
And i was wondering if i could get some opinions?
Which do you think would look nicer.
The Full kit or the Lite kit?
Heres the link: http://lltek.com/hfltek_a4_8e.htm
Thanks in advance.

 

the full kit!!! wow! they did a sick job!!!!!

 

Stay away from LLTek. I've heard nothing but bad reports about the quality and fitment of their kits. Pretty much, for the B6 A4 I would stick to either Oettinger or Caractere for direct and perfect fitment. If you're feeling a little adventurous, you can always try Rieger or Kerscher, but those kits will require a body shop to install perfectly. Then there's always the OEM Audi Votex kit, but the front bumper looks awkward since it's only a lower cover, not a full bumper. The Votex sideskirts however, are very nice.

I have the Oettinger kit and I can say first hand that it mounts perfectly to all the factory mounting points, re-uses existing hardware, and untilizes factory wiring harness mounts (for homelink and fogs). It's also one of the few kits that actually includes the factory rebar so you don't have to cut it off your stock bumper. Spend some time searching on Audiworld or Audizine and you'll find tons of reviews on different kits, but if you ask me, there are only two choices, Oettinger and Caractere.

 

^ I agree with LLTek not being the best, I've heard some horror stories as well.

I must admit though, the front of that RS4 conversion looks great, but if I were going to do it, I'd only go for the complete kit, not the light-version. The rear bumper looks out of place though, it seems like its too short...

If I were you, I'd look into the front from LLTek, and maybe an ultrasport rear, I think those two could tie in really nicely together.

 

wow! i never new that about llteck??

 

Look at this hieous thing. First of all, in the pic it looks like a one piece hood, but their website says "hood extension". Second, every single piece is made of fiberglass, so fitment will be an issue, mounting will be an issue, and cracking will happen if it even says hello to the ground. Sure they make it look nice and pretty in the pictures, but in person I bet it's awful.

And what happens to the original grill-surround area on the hood? Is it just hanging out under the hood extension? It must be there because that's how the hood latches shut. So if you open the hood up, yuo'll see the original front part of the hood just hanging there. I'm sorry, I'm usually not very opinionated, but an A4 or S4 is generally a nice car, products like this are a sin.

 

First off, why pretend you have a B7? Nothing wrong with a B6 and there are plenty of really sick looking kits for B6's. I think its generally known LL Tek stuff is crap and often really cheesey. Oettinger and Kerscher make some nice kits for the B6.

But honestly my favorite kit was the original votex kit from Audi that I believe they only sold for a short amount of time:

 

oh, wow
i didnt know that lltek was that crappy.
I guess ill look a other brands.

 

I don't really want to pretend to be a B7, I just liked the kit....
and that vortex kit looks amazing!
I tried to find it on ebay but they didnt have it.

 

oettinger

 

I'd do either a B6 S4 front bumper or the Ultrasport front end. there is a thread on Audizine where a guy used his existing upper and added the USP lower section, looked pretty good. I had a USP and loved the way it looked. that LLtek stuff is garbage though. run away, very far away!

 

+1 either Oettinger or Sportec IMO

 

The Sportec is definitely smooth, but keep in mind that it's very expensive and to install it, you'll need to basically cut the lower OEM half of your front bumper off to install the sportec piece. And it's also fiberglass I believe...so there's quite a bit of professional bodywork required. The only two complete 100% bolt-on replacement front bumpers are Oettinger and Caractere as far as I know.

i'd stay away from that kit also. My personal favorite is the Rieger. Very simple and can almost pass for stock.
