Audi Tuner – 2008 Hofele Design Audi Q7
Audi-Tuner Hofele-Design gives the Audi Q7 a new face.
Special attention of the new Hofele concept for the Audi Q7 draw the new bumpers, made of the high-quality material RIM. The front bumper is highlighted by the big air intakes, the Single-Frame grill from the S8, A8 or W12 and four Hella lights. These lights are LED day driving light + fog and cornering light. The use of the A8 grills makes the front rounder than on the original Q7.
An eye-catcher are the stainless steel tailpipes which are integrated into the rear apron. A flat roof spoiler sits on the edge of the tailgate. Door attachments with an air intake stretch the sides of the luxury SUV.

2004 Audi A4
In North America, Audi styling has lingered on the conservative side. Finding a smoothly shaven or color-changed quattro isn’t a common sight, compared to the VW and BMW scenes, for example. Because of this, we were excited to see Matt Demetria’s ‘04 Audi A4 1.8T quattro.
Residing in Northern California, Matt has plenty of experience with VWs and Audis.”I started working as a sales rep for a VW dealer,” he began. “Then I worked at Emotion Garage for 18 months, where people began trusting me with their cars and manufacturers would even call me for advice. After that I moved to another shop that fixed up Porsches and Lamborghinis.”
During his stint in the industry, Matt built a ‘00 Jetta VR6. “I did everything; a Votex kit, S4 wheels, racing seats and more,” he explained. “I still couldn’t keep up with all my friends, though, and it had too many maintenance problems.” He couldn’t keep up because he’s a founding member of club NoFuknJoke (NFJ) featured in et 4/07. Most of their cars are modified from head-to-toe in hardcore Euro-themes, so Matt decided to start anew with something distinctive.
He picked up the Audi in 5/04 and started with basic modifications; intake, exhaust, Eibach coilovers and 19″ Axis Milanos.
It was a decent start but the car didn’t stand out. “All the Audi’s looked the same,” he explained. “Nobody was doing hardcore Euro-style. So I went after that look, not knowing how it would turn out. My influences were the NFJ family, since their VWs were shaved, with clean lines and a Euro-look. In my head it was possible for an Audi to have the same design.”
To begin, Matt ditched the Eibachs and had NEX Racing fit a prototype of its coilovers. Once installed, they lowered the car another 2″. They also had adjustable damping, so stiffness could be tweaked.
Matt then searched for a Euro wheel, picking a set of 18×8.5″ front and 18×10″ rear Kerscher KCS wheels. “I got crap for fitting staggered wheels on a quattro, but I’ve not had any problems,” he explained.
Ultimately, the Kerschers were discarded for the Tracer Tech 1 wheels on the car now. The 18″ five-spokes measured 9.5″ wide front, and 11″ rear. He also replaced the existing hardware with gold bolts, before mounting Falken tires.
To his amazement, the Tracers fitted under the stock fenders without any mods. “Before I bought the wheels, I was talking to Tunershop about a German A6 with the same wheels,” he explained. “They’d seen the car and said the wheels poked out a little. When I got my wheels, I took the suspension to its highest adjustment but it was still too low. I finally added the stock rubber spring mount, which raised the car 3″ and gave me room to play with. I had to adjust the camber and try two tire sizes before finding the perfect setup.
