Was actually waiting for you to go back to a OEM steering wheel. S-line wheel looks killer. Well done, sir

[C2_mad]

[mgpdoc]

the interior looks beautiful with the Sline Wheel!

Got any pics from the whole car from the outside? would like to see how it sits on the wheels.

So, in other news , I also decided to install the Sparco steering wheel on the golf instead of the A1, and so I went back to the OEM one for some days





Also installed a white led on the Start/Stop button instead of the yellow one





Yes, two tone colour, not three



But as you would propably have guessed, i did not install the oem steering wheel to stay with it for long - so yes I ordered another one







Audi TTS (8S) new steering wheel





Test fitted











Now need to figure how to make the buttons work.

Cheers

So let me update this thread a bit.

Last month, I put some serious miles on this car, I had a big roadtrip from Greece, to Romania, via FYROM, and Bulgaria. I put about 3500km to the car, and it cost me about 150euros of diesel premium fuel. Yeap that's correct. And that was with car heavily loaded, with the Thule box on it at all times.

Before I started the trip, I purchased an emergency spare wheel, from a golf mkiv R32 i believe as stated at the listing.



All it needed was a bit of love



Clean



Added a cap



Nice chance to use this as well to dress the tire





Wheel fits perfectly after i remove the air compressor that came with car, over the battery



Like this





There is also a tray that goes above the spare wheel and under the trunk lifted floor but I am not sure yet, I have the correct part number for it - if anyone can help, by all means.

Car's condition after the return trip home













Fresh diesel on paint work





We lifted the car and washed all the underbody to remove mud, salt and grime









Winter wheels removed



Time for summer wheels







They look so much better in gloss black

Car hadnt settled on height just yet



Cheers more to come

Thank you very much for the feedback guys

[Nardo]

Damn dude, your detailing is on point!

[loekaaz]

Damn Mike, Everything you do is so F-ing tasteful

[mgpdoc]

So, summer wheels prepping is almost done now





Then Darth came in and car was approved



Gave it a quick was under the chassis to loose all salt and mud although more will be coming very soon



Took some decisions for my A4/RS4 project and decided to reduce spending on other cars.



Till then though . . . .

Fabricated this oil sump bolt to receive the oil temp sensor, to be installed on the next oil change



And also . . .

Removed interior parts









Ready for trim shop



And done







Let's install this





I love it












Cheers

Yeah I gather that now, i've not been a regular on here! I have a lot of catching up to do

[mgpdoc]

If you'd seen my two other project car threads, you'd knew what to expect, hehe

Cheers

Thanks

Started off seeing things like pedals, ashtray and tinting film and thought hmm.. ok..

It all came together really nicely though. Never been a fan of the Rotas tbh but each to their own, the rest of the car has been really well done. The retrim looks beautiful, well played!

[mgpdoc]

My summer wheels were received freshly powdercoated



Took them for a spin





Then I made something to mount them on without touching each other, because otherwise they would be damaged due to the stretched fitment.



















Received a new mount from OSIR





for my second Defi gauge



combined



In situ









I also bought this





But unsure if i can make it work on my car, we have different equipment installed - this one does not have bt installed etc etc

Washed it after my snow trip



More to come cheers

Excellent as always doc! How did you manage the yellow DRL situation?
