Cheap Front End Transformation on my Audi A4

In this video I go over a few cheap visual enhancements on my Audi A4 that make a big impression overall.
I started by blacking out the grill and then splitting the headlights open with a heat gun. This allowed me to tint the inside and replace the orange indicators with clear ones. Finally I refitted the front bumper properly and fitted a splitter from a Seat Leon Cupra.

The Audi looks so good! The Splitter complements it so much

[@mrparkuksmith1311]

Looks very good. Worth the effort.👍🏻

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

Good video Luke. More of this type of vid pls. Don't have an audi, never have, but watched it all the way through and enjoyed it. 👍👍🤭

[@damcleandetailing]

Awesome job Luke! Love tastefully done mods like this done well. It’s easy to screw something up by rushing the work or in the case of the headlights, muscling them apart as soon as the glue starts to soften. Really changed the look and the Cupra R lip is one of the best lips for so many VW/Audi models.

[@stevepye7169]

I really like what you've done there. The gloss black grill surround has given the front end a modern look.

[@Maisonikkokufan]

Very smart modification! If i ever get an A4 a mod like this is a must! Well done yet again Luke 👏

[@BanjoRen]

Makes a cracking difference to the front of the Audi. Well worth the effort.

[@Dsquaredforever]

Did that to the inside of my headlights a few years ago. Really makes the front look much better.

[@AndrewKNI]

A brilliant job Luke. Looks fantastic. Your hard work has paid off for sure :-)

[@AlfaGiuliaQV]

Great and thourough job! It sure looks neater, tidier and sportier now!

[@rice-rocket]

Great work, Luke, Giving a massive improvement! Really enjoy these style of videos. It would be great to see you tackle something JDM. Keep up the good work.

[@tedk4605]

My front bumper is doing the same thing, now I see how to adjust it. Great video!

[@shaunwest3612]

Great video torque steer,and great job.👌

[@paultucker1272]

That's a very effective facelift!

[@Genic1981]

Great video mate, keep them coming 👍

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, some handy bodywork tips.

[@craigparsons8600]

I got the Cupra R on my 05 Passat. Looks class on the A4 mate 👍🏼

[@user-py6si5jt9p]

Looks beautiful!

[@marcusaureliusantoninusaug2161]

The splitter looks mint Luke! Open headlights would have been an opportunity to install Led DRL 😉

[@1lowf150xlt]

Came out great! I like it!

[@marklanders6980]

Good mods done cheap,great video.

[@levonbates]

The splitter looks good! Suits it

[@cameronstevenson5894]

Great video Luke these mod videos are the best some difference on the Audi

[@Shabec2982]

Beautiful, very informative.

[@johndonohue4153]

Car looks mint!!

[@jamesgallagher1992]

Crackin job lad👍👍

[@dimaworld_1505]

Nice job mate

[@TruckerMatty93]

Great video, really like it. My parents have the same car, but on a slightly different note, they want an aux connection fitted, what would be the best option? Preferably keeping the original radio

[@EgoShredder]

At the start when he mentioned tinting the lights and blacking things up, I thought uh oh........chav car "upgrade". Happily I was proved wrong and this looks very nice indeed.

[@dmurphypk]

I had a cupra r of that generation. Loved it. Totally underrated car. But the clip in splitter was a pain. I lost 3 of them so screwed in the last one.

[@ibbykhan942]

Reminds me of the black edition Audi A4, nice mod

[@HANOMotorsports]

Nicely done, sir.

[@Mike_5]

Top job mate looks a real winner but while you had the front off should have upgraded the horn - essential device for any Audi driver!

[@jacquesgouws]

Looks great!

[@SoggyBiscuits1000]

great video, people always like to hear about cheap mods or doing things a little bit cheaper. would like to see/hear more of them thanks!! oh and will you be doing a video on auto finesse`s new all in one?

[@leonardo3011]

Cool ride!

[@DrKerr..]

Looking cleaner basic and cheap. 😁

[@lennertvanwees1101]

I loved the video you have a new subscriber

[@mrasidhu]

can you make a video about removing the chrome trims around the windows please. mine look faded and has the horrible water marks.

[@MyJarrus]

the splitter was definitely a must

[@Matt-ft2fc]

I rate the splitter luke. Love the Audi a4's

[@fionajane6081]

Good video, Luke.

[@whippetkid]

Good job, very helpful. I have a similar problem with my A4 B7 convertible bumper sagging. Two questions, what do you call the adjusters for the height Of the bonnet? And where did you get your wooden ramps? Cheers

[@randomrides]

The car looks good, much cleaner and aligned. As for the splitter I like it...though my car's black so hard to notice...so much so I don't even know if I have one or not lol. Headlights....that's a lot of work just for an indicator bulb...I'd never get that light to seal again and then that would drive me crazy...I wonder if it's possible to get an A4 B7 strip led headlight like the newer models 🤔 Great video thank you 👍👍👍

[@Memfoo]

What model of the p21w or py21w bulb can be seen in the 7:45 minute?

[@rsyt3113]

That's completely transformed the car, it looks awesome! Please can you tell me where you get your paint so cheaply?

[@liamward5961]

Going throw all the old vids top work

[@stejkoman]

Pretty cool imo

[@jamesweldon1464]

Hi luke great video, just a suggestion would you be able to do a flipping car video, were you buy a cheap car and flip it for a profit, thanks

[@fransam1961]

Not totally sold on blacking headlights etc as light output might be reduced...but, all looks great and your attention to bonnet alignment was worth it...

[@roberto4601]

Wow impressive, I can't see the difference

[@jonnathanmarcellus4456]

I like the logos

[@carlosnunocardoso3386]

Brilliant

[@Luke-san]

Really nice but I think you should upgrade to projector lights and stick leds in them if that is legal there.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Luke, great video,there is alot of work involved doing this and with the end result its worth the time and effort,it does look more meaner at the front.

[@XavierAncarno]

Hello from France 🇫🇷

[@DJCAntisocial]

nice video, maybe the Audi sport decals inside the headlight would have looked better if placed on the grill/in'side side of the headlight unit, same positioning but left, opposite from where you put it, pausing and looking... might have looked nicer? wdyt

[@hampushallberg7590]

Personally went without headlights, but otherwise black s-line front makes this car look twice as good!

[@caolan_0284]

Did u just use self tapping screws for the curpa lip?

[@vikingraiders4138]

Nice job indeed.

[@NobleDistortion]

Smart bro

[@kd45914]

i actually liked the audi sport stickers in the headlights, but maybe just smaller

[@gezaerdelyi4476]

u could put in biled projectors

[@mercedes_and_more]

I did a similar thing with Mondeo MK3 lights. If you don't have an air gun, then put them in the oven (I did 120c for 10 mins) and that will loosed the glue nicely. Ref sagging bumper: I suspect in your case this has to do with the twisted and dented front crash beam which likely claimed the original bumper on your car? It's (the bumper) clearly a different colour silver from the rest of the car and I suspect was a cosmetic repair rather than bolting on a new crash bar/bumper support? Great video with clear explanation 👍👍

[@mn3798]

the crash bar is dented and twisted from factory to deform at specific points in a specific way in order to absorb maximum energy in the event of a crash. have a quick google they all look the same as his

[@tomrusson6126]

Great video, Luke - epic background music. What's your source?

[@tomrusson6126]

@@lotecque good man, cheers

[@GavstarLeo]

I want to do my front headlights but I'm worried when I put them back together there will be leaks sipping into the headlight?

[@toasterdirt]

Same. I feel your stress

[@GavstarLeo]

@@toasterdirt I'm torn between buying a set of headlights with black backing then selling my chromes ones or just spray the inside 😔

[@MattressAbs]

Great video mate, done all of these myself, why oh why would you put that screw in the middle like that though. Haha. So triggered.

[@Kenny_P_abz]

You sure it hasn’t had a front impact? That looks suspiciously like a dent on the front bar. Great video as always Luke.

[@mrasidhu]

mine has that dent on the crashbar too. but it matches on the over side.

[@grazianolaudisio3644]

At first I thought the same. But look closely that "dent" is evenly spread at the top and bottom (if that makes any sense). To be sure he could use this device to measure the paint of the car.

[@Techtiqal]

Looks like the car has had a bit of a front end knock judging by the crash bar though, might be why the bumper was being an arse haha

[@45Camster]

Late reply to you now but the crash bar is shaped like that, same bent section on both sides and I’ve worked on multiple B7 front ends.

[@neilappeal20]

U dont need to remove the wheels, just turn the wheels full lock to get access for the nuts. Halfords lacquer is no good as some cleaning chemicals 'melt' it. 2 pack cans required -ebay.

[@peterbradley4916]

cool

[@asbomk5683]

Do more A4 mod videos please

[@heathersinclair-tate4392]

Can i bring my A4 to you to sort out? I'll pay you 🤣

[@scorcha100]

Ive been looking at these cars as they seem to be good value for money. Preferably i want A4 S-Line avant but just a bit wary of buying a money pit 🤔

[@BosllaLighting]

Good try, Luke. It looks better.

[@mattlegender8106]

Good video but you could have just turned the steering wheel instead of removing the wheels 😂

[@ultimaetsolder]

Love mods too, but the car looks the same in the thumbnail.

[@jonsturrock2788]

Intro music very stranger things esque

[@1ChristopherDean]

Informative instruction. Musical over score is terrible, and increases difficulty understanding narration.

[@rxndncndndnd1078]

Looks exactly the same.. so much effort for what? Lol

[@alansimm3876]

What a waist of your time 🤣
