Audi Q7 & Kahn Body Kit

[JeffCombo]

Hi all

I wonder if anyone could kindly help.

I'm looking at a 2011 Audi Q7, it has a Kahn Widebody kit which I think is just cosmetic.

The car minus the Kahn is what i was after but I have now seen this one and it looks OK, not overly garish.
Before I commit to buying I wanted to know if the Kahn kit will have a major effect on resale value a couple of years down the line, or indeed on insurance etc or if it has any other negative effect on ownership?

Also its a 4.2 - I like the idea of the extra bhp but again does anyone have any input on if it's a wise buy over the 3.0 come resale time.

Thanks a mil in advance for any kind help you can offer.

As long as you're ok with people actually seeing you drive it around while you own it and comfortable with the type of people who are into Kahn bodykits coming to your house to view the car when it goes up for sale then go for it... reason I say that is because in the main, locally, any of that tacky garish crap usually ends up parked outside a while-u-wait hand car wash.

That said, I'm happy to be proved wrong about how it looks?? Maybe they're not as chavtastic as they used to be, in which case, please disregard everything I said above apart from where they eventually end up after freefalling in value.


Cheers,
Grant

Not overly garish? You for real?

Lol.
OK that does look somewhat chavalier.
On a black car it's not so obvious and it hasn't got the kahn wheels..just normal 5 spoke audi ones and it hasn't got kahn written across the back. Just the usual audi badges.

still I held off from even going to see it.
If it hasn't sold by Monday then I guess that tells me something!

Thanks for your replies by the way.

anything kahn is carp really - yet to see something that looks tasteful and lets face it if you are buying an Audi thats the thing you will most likely be looking for, maybe its got some nice shiny carbon wrap inside too

It looks awful.

Too many whiffy stereotypes around questionably body-kitted SUVs, sorry!

The only nice thing I've seen from Kahn were the RSS wheels as fitted to a MKI TT.

But a full kit is over the top. IMHOOC.
