    So, did my first trip. Fuel economy was out of this planet.



    Even with the box on



    Bought this for another project I have been thinking of



    Before





    Remove some plastics







    Take that motor out



    Oh look a hole



    Plug that water pipe with a nice way



    No hole anymore







    Perfect fitment as expected



    Looking really clean



    Washed the car



    I also received these



    And also washed this one as well







    I also had a photoshoot with the Audi, more to come soon





    Cheers, more to come

    Car got its first cleanup since I took it out the stealership







    Car then got treated with CG EZ Glaze, and then some of SwissVax's finest, CRYSTAL ROCK for added protection and gloss, applied by hand.









    Then I threw on the Thule box, to see how it looked. I was skeptical beforehand, thinking it would be big for this car. But boy was I wrong



    Looked great, I loved it



    Family meeting with Golf







    And then with the other Audi









    Ordered these from ebay, because the OEM aerial would not fit with box on, and because I like the clean look of it



    Received them



    Installed it asap





    Car then got some snow time







    [miss my Quattro system, I'll tell you that]

    Received Some Black Audi Emblem Rings that I ordered from Germany



    Great quality to be honest



    So from this



    To this



    Removed rear one too







    I was thinking to go for no badge at all, but at the moment, I installed the black one, which looks great and we shall see









    I also ordered two rear-wiper-delete kits from gecleant.de, one for the A1 and one for the Golf, and waiting to receive those as well, to remove that rear wiper on the A1 as well.

    In other news, I may or may not be toying with the idea of ordering this.



    Let alone, having already ordered it, who knows.

    Cheers

    Mike

    Went ahead and had a visit at Thule dealers in Greece



    I just love this shop



    Hmmm, what are these





    Well these, are the black, all new edition



    of these, that I run in my golf



    With the black roof and all, I just had to buy these, you know me.

    Boxes were opened















    Excuse the iphone pics, proper pics to follow from my camera

    Cheers

    So, these were ordered and received



    Had these inside









    And a manual



    Seems like i was a template from inside the box.
    Not sure if it supplied with it though.
    Thing is there is something weird about the footrest area.
    We will get to that later.









    It would be a bolt on, if it were like on my other cars, but here the plastic part to be replaced is missing, and the carpet in the area is like this





    Not sure how I am gonna do it, but I will figure out how I guess sooner or later.

    Took some time to put these on, especially the throttle one, where the clutch one needed to open some holes





    Installed, look so good if you ask me





    And I need to figure out how to make it look complete now

    [FootRest just left to stay in place - not installed]



    Cheers guys

    So where were we. Oh yes, some things to show you, now that I found time to update this again

    Even before I got the car, I have been wanting to do this thing as follows

    Started removing things from the trunk











    Time for some black love from 3M car wrap products





    Started re-installing things





    I love the quality of the cut



    Reinstalled the OEM foam behind the plate



    Much better



    And some better shots

















    Daytime pics will follow to show how nice it came out.

    What is more, these were ordered, and arrived in my hands as well







    But more on that later.

    I have also started my question here and there, for the answer to my lowering questions - yes I know it is the second week since I bought this car, but you know how it is. LoL.

    Cheers, more to come
