a substantial reduction in the operational
safety of your vehicle and an increased wear of
ve hicle parts ¢
A:,..
Author ized Audi dealers will perform th is
wo rk in a professiona l and competent manner
or, in special cases, refer you to a professional
company that specializes in such modifica­
tions .
