Default just wondering

I have been doing some stuff to my car to make it look better without spending much money( you know 10-20 here and there) recently I painted to Audi symbol and v6 as well as the 5v and stripes that are under the hood. I liked the way it truned out but now I want more. What else can I do to make the car look good and now spend a whole lot.

You can debadge it for free basically. Also you could add chrome trim around the lower bumper grill (makes it look b6-style). Think about painting your lowers. It will take some time and you will have to pay a bit for paint but it makes a huge difference visually. You could also smoke your taillights too for cheap. There are tons of possibilities.

Headlights people...Headlights

Their probably old, stained yellow, and have that cheap corner.
Buy some depo's or Valeos if you can find them. They will really clean up the front of your car.
