Well, I am the very proud/excited new owner of a 1999 A4 1.8TQM with some minor modifications, including an MTM chip, full MTM exhaust system and various MTM suspension bits, as well as a ricey Kamei front grill, headlights that need replacing and a fucked up back left OE speaker. I need some advice, especially on what kind of headlights I should get as replacements. I'm more concerned with quality and OE-ish appearance than price. Also, does anyone have an idea as to how much a new speaker will run and where I can get one? Thanks alot...

I'd suggest buying OEM european projector headlights (also called ecodes for short)

The light output is excellent.

That's the only grille I'm considering spending money on, actually. My other option is to put the OE grille back on. I was trying to pop out the Kamei grille that is in there earlier today, but the instructions are in German, which i don't speak, and I was reticent to really put my weight into it.

Are those the kind you have to trim your fender for if you have a 99.5 or older?
Those look great, thanks for the link.

Yes they are...the trimming is minor. It took me about an hour to do the conversion.
