[emanyankee]

jeez you take a lot of pictures! but way better than the latter!! its looking great!

[Hellalime]

Oooohhh this is exciting, gotta lower it soon man, the anticipation is starting to hurt

[mgpdoc]

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

Was just gonna ask when your lowering it, cant wait to see it down a little more.

[mgpdoc]

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

[mgpdoc]

Some proper pics of the car then.

















I hope the next photos will have the car closer to the ground



Cheers

[mgpdoc]

Received some boxes





Lost no time



Shiny stuff inside







Car up on the air



Rears first





Rears almost done




Hood access for the fronts



Before





And after





Car touched down



And went for alignment





So, Height Before





And after







Yes, now we are talking There is room for going even lower, will propably leave that for later, that I have some other plans, hehe.

Cheers for now, hope you like it

Looking really good! I wish we got these in the USA

Not sure if I have written it in here. But one thing that has bothered me since day one, that i got the car, even from the dealership, is the red colour of the vents in the interior. I guess I am more of a subtle guy, and that much red really hurt my eyes to be honest. Seemed kinda cheap for my tastes.

So. I had to do something about that as you can tell.
I was thinking either piano black vents, or chrome/alu ones.
Decided to go for the piano black ones.



Removed the red ones.



Only tools I used are my hands to be honest.
Despite the ELSA, and some youtube tutorials saying I need some special tools.



Red ones are already for sale over at ebay. Listing [301572869279]









Time to install the black ones



Happy me







Before



and after



So that's done. Happy with it

Cheers guys

So what do you know. I have some updates for the AUD1ESEL. I already love this car, and it is becoming more and more mine every day

Tint time -



Again went for the 3M CS-35, like I have in all my other cars, and in the family cars as well, throughout the years





Classical protection for the window switches for a couple of days LoL



Driver side on



Some exterior shots











Dat Logo Doe



Another thing I did, is that I decided to tackle the footrest issue.
I had to find a way to make it work

Took some measurements



And I made it happen

I feel that you're kicking ass on all of your builds. Keep doing that.
