    Thank you very much for dat love

    Next thing on my list, I guess, are some wheels.

    Fitment will propably be 5x100 18inch wheels something in the 8-9" width
    Not sure on ET yet
    I am willing to roll fenders, like always
    I am in for square fitment like always.

    I am thinking a lot of wheels. Still havent decided.

        Oz ultraleggera? Bbs ch style? Or RC?
        Or Rota Grid drift like my golf
        Superturismos could also look good

        Not sure yet we shall see

        Something aggressive though

                To be honest, I have always wanted to put that wheel in one of the cars that I have owned so far.
                Same with the A1. But I think that it is a style that will very fast be boring for me.
                What is more, I simply cannot justify the money Rotiform asks for their wheels nowadays.
                If I am to spend that money, and most of the times I do, i prefer other companies, like OZ, like BBS etc

                Dont get me wrong, I like Roti designs, but to me they are nowhere near Rays, OZ, BBS, Adv1 so as to ask for the money they ask.

                  So here is a big update for the little AUD1ESEL

                  Came to the garage one day to find one seat missing . . .



                  Then this happened



                  Out of nowhere





                  Dont worry, I was just checking something



                  Hmmmm



                  LoL on the Golf



                  Then changed back everything the way it was

                  Next to this, i still prefer mine





                  Then, let's move to the interior

                  I like how these climate controls look



                  This does not suit them



                  New boxes from stealership



                  Yummy parts









                  Let's remove the stock one





                  Out



                  in it went



                  porn





                  Tools needed





                  Turned out great





                  More to come, to bring you up to date

                  Cheers

                    Then this happened



                    Aha there it is



                    Testing



                    50:50



                    Let's go 100%



                    All done



                    Next to the general



                    All done





                    Lights off



                    And on



                    I totally fell in love with how it came out

                    Cheers more to come

                            As for wheels,

                            I cannot make a decision if i will go with 18 or stay 17 inch to be honest

                            if 17, it will be 9x17 stretched on my 215/45/17
                            If 18, it will propably be 9,5x18 ET38 or 8,5x18 ET30 on 215/35/18.

                            Really cant make up my mind. LoL

                              So, I dont recall if I had told you about it, but I kinda ordered a new front grill for my AUD1ESEL project. An aftermarket "RS1" grill in gloss black from Germany, which arrived some days before.



                              Definitely not cheap, but quality was super good to be honest.

                              Lost no time, and decided to go for it on my own, after work



                              Bumper came off, dont mind the headlight, i thought it needed to be removed, whereas it didnt. Although there is a DIY online, I wanted to go for it on my own, weird right



                              Sit back and enjoy



                              Two grilles side by side - and the usual aftermath of garage work, lol



                              OEM grille removed



                              New Grille on



                              Thought the Oem crashbar would look ugly in silver behind the grille, so I removed it. Dont worry just to paint it.



                              Done





                              ReInstalled



                              Installed everything back on - minus the Audi rings which were smaller in the A1 and did not fit



                              I then got a new Audi badge from dealership, which is slightly bigger, and comes from the A6-A7-A8-RS6-RS7 etc.



                              It was then ready





                              The grille also had the mounting thing for the license plate - but look at it



                              So I thought I'd make a vinyl plate, to go right here



                              So I did





                              Looks really good now, and legal-ish LoL



                              Sorry for the iphone pics - but I didnt have my camera with me at the time

                              Cheers

                                Removed some OEM stripes



                                Took the golf out for a spin



                                And then saw old photos of my other Audi, and though hmmm nice wheels



                                So I thought let's make a fitment test



                                Out with the oem one



                                Threw them on for good measurement











                                I love it



                                Now as for the test-fitment.
                                These wheels are 9,5x18 ET38 . I could not bolt them down to put car to the ground due to 5x112 vs 5x100 different bolt pattern.
                                Thing is, that in order to have the concave I need to go for the same sizes again.

                                BUT, the wheel, on the inner side, does not clear the shock absorber, nor the caliper.
                                So I guess if I am to go for it, I might have to go with a 5mm spacer in order to make it work.
                                And then, surely go for a fender roller in order to pull fenders properly. I dont mind the car being new, I want it to make happen, and I believe I can

                                Any feedback, welcome as always

                                Cheers

                                Mike
