If you would import one you would be seriously "one of a kind" in the US.

Hey guys, pleased to announce another update!

Bad things first, to mount the wheels with my 5x100 spec special bolts are needed. Which are not on stock in the wheeldealer's place...or anywhere near it. It is even possible that we need to get them bolts from switzerland.

Anyhow, for that reason there are only teaser pics on how it will look:









Well, I think it looks pretty good. Mucho better than the old Brock wheels. Or at least better fitting. Now I just need to wait for the wheel bolts to show up. Its just a 100km (~62miles) ride to the wheeldealer's shop. I like to do that more often just for bolts. Really.





Oh, and they broke my door too:



That is why there won't be a monday update with the Votex Wing. Sorry guyze.

[Nagah]

Great news! Wheels will be delivered today at the wheeldealer's place. So I made an appointment for friday so that the TÜV guy can get this approved as soon as we throw them on. I can't wait for friday!

Also, dropped my hood and Votex wing at the body shop yesterday. The hood had to be repainted because somehow the clearcoat was coming off (ugly shit):





That's why I am running now with a ghetto style rattle canned black hood of a friend. BEWARE!



So, I get the stuff back on monday and I hope it will look good. It's my first time with that bodyshop and I really hope that they are worth the money.

I have been at the saddler's place and got some leather on my speedometers dash. You see I am quite the leather whore.





****Newsflash****

New wheels found and ordered. AND - surprise - there are 8 of them available.YES!
Besiders looking cool, they're pretty light. 10,2kg (~22.5lbs) per wheel in 8x18!

Get better ones! Cos they were horrible looking.

*double sigh*

Manufacturer info: Maybe there won't be any wheels in my size at all this year. Dafuq?

What shall I do? WHAT SHALL I DO???

[Nagah]

*sigh*

Wheel shipment postponed due to shipping issues.

I am so sad. I really, really, really want those wheels. Now.

Here are the new leathered beauties inside the car:

I googled the car just to make sure this wasn't fake. Haha

Hehe, yes I believe that. As far as I know these were only sold in Germany for 5 years and discontinued after then.

Anyone know the name of the wheels on the silver audi a2. ??

If you mean this one:



These are "ABT Sportfelge V1" 7x17 offset 30 from ABT (German VAG Tuner)

I've never seen one of these before

Finally! Wheel choice is done! I just ordered a set of these in 8x18 offset 48 with spacers:







Now I am so totally broke. But it's so worth it!

[Nagah]

Parts are back! I am so stoked about it.

Thank you Pedro!
