[DawsonLiri]

What are you doing with the interior?
(Yeah, I stalking you a little bit on instagram)

[SoapHero]

I really love your A1 and the thread.

[mgpdoc]

Black 3-door 1.4 tfsi with S-line interior and S-tronic from '10.
Yours is the example for mine now haha

Aaaaah nice, all the best with your new toy. Let me know if you need any help or inspiration.

Thanks guys

Another thing i ordered is some proper Recaro Subframe seatmounts for my car, since the ones i had were Recaro again, but for an Audi R8 it seems.

Installing the mounts is a bit tricky. You need to unbolt some framing off the oem seats, and u use it in between the chassis and the Recaro frames. As always pics will do the talking. I used completely new hardware everywhere and blue loctite to be safe like i have done in the past in my other cars

Part from oem seat needed, practically the slider

Red caps and gold letters were an idea that came to my head this time

Gunmetal by mgpdoc, on Flickr

Came out awesome although the painting on caps coulda been better in my eyes. Wheel powdercoating was perfect

Threw them on the car

In my opinion, best look of the car so far
