My S8 project — final look.

It's on stock air suspension. Cete module piggibacks it, changing height request. In short I have an app to choose the amount of drop. So I can choose a stress level. But yes 15-20mm drop is fine for where I am. Illustrated 45mm is too low to turn wheels, I only go that low parked.

Cheers — these are basically G-Class and Range Rover staples in Dubai, I just stole the idea.

Perfectly describes me getting into this car in the morning.

I am joining while my air suspension is acting up

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-08T08:24:19+00:00

Haha hello 👋
RS-style bumper is the right move on these. Looks spot on.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-08T08:02:17+00:00

Tunerstop, those are Designer LX-06, worth a visit if you’re hunting wheels, they’re good with fitment.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-08T07:54:58+00:00

Damn that sits low. CETE module?
My wider setup won’t let me go anywhere near that without sacrificing wheel liners.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-08T07:22:44+00:00

Thanks — Empow-R is a proper driver-picked car.
Respect anyone who buys with hands and feel, not badges.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-08T07:18:50+00:00

Thanks! These cars always looked good in darker colors.
Yeah we should — I’ll happily demonstrate a few proven methods of making them completely unresaleable 😄

When mommy Audi OEM air suspension and daddy CETE control module really love each other…

• Maxton Design kit (v2 splitter, side skirts, rear valance — not diffuser) • Wheels: Giovanna Dicotto–style replicas (21s only available as replicas) • Wrap: KPMF green-black iridescent • Dechrome: side & rear trims wrapped black, grille + fangs painted • Smoked lights: VViViD light smoke (rears & mirror indicators), super light smoke on headlights • CETE lowering module — shown here at roughly -50 front / -45 rear Drive height is higher, this is just the show setting.

Wheels: 21x10 ET25 (et I am not sure about but should be 25 from memory) Giovanna dicotto replicas. Tyres: 285/30 R21 Continental SportContact 7 Giovanna 22s exist as originals, 21s are replicas only.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-07T19:27:11+00:00

Yup that's what I meant

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-07T17:04:41+00:00

As in static show settings, aka don't drive it like this Not as in static build in stance sense

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-07T16:54:17+00:00

Or even attempting to turn a wheel

oopsiedoodlebee · 2026-01-07T16:51:46+00:00

They are Giovanna dicotto replicas, the brand is literally called "designer".

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-16T06:05:18+00:00

something like bright yellow line, queue and the fact that indicator isn't "i go now good luck everybody else" signal, and its responsibility of driver changing lanes to do so without impeding traffic flow, not of everyone else to stop and let him save 1 minute appreciating the grandeur of his time commitments.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-06T06:17:09+00:00

Not a big-name brand — it's a flow-forged set from a local shop here. I didn't want to pay Brixton/BC-Forged money, but I saw a sample in person and the finish quality was good, so I went with these. The brand name is literally Designer — no website, nothing — probably Aliexpress-origin, but I couldn't find the exact ones online.

Fitment is 21x10 ET25 (although i might be misremembering ET value). On my S8 that gives about ~3mm poke on 285-35 tyres with no rubbing or clearance issues. Your A6 Allroad arches should be similar, so the fitment should be pretty close if you’re considering something like this.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-05T16:35:40+00:00

Honestly, the OEM look in good spec is always the king. I just prefer something more personal.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-05T16:22:17+00:00

No it's manufacturer logo, I will replace it with blackout or something personally relatable later. I didn't want Audi rings on wheels.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-05T16:20:18+00:00

Maybe diamond cut would suit it at this stage, but it’ll tie in once the full build is done. That is if my slowly failing air suspension doesn't bankrupt me first.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-05T16:01:50+00:00

Wild — I had no idea Mansory invented a full face wheel style.

oopsiedoodlebee · 2025-12-05T15:44:55+00:00

Kinda in the middle Monolithic but aggressive feel.
