Thanks Tom the pedals are on the list but I've already bought a tt wheel and complete gear shifter, just waiting for them to arrive but thank you for the offer.

After the last few parts arrived in the post today I cracked on with fitting the new steering wheel and gear stick kit, now looks much smarter and the feel of both is so much better.
It's starting to transform in the way I like but there is still plenty more to do. After Sunday's South West meet and greet I should have some parts from @A2Steve to fix the boot hinge and some trim replacement items.

Looking really good, Mark. I look forward to seeing the car in the flesh and adding to it. ?
I can’t not mention the tree hanging from the rear view mirror. These smelly things (tree-shaped or otherwise!) emit a chemical that softens the soft-touch coating on the interior plastics. These things should be kept well away from the A2.
Cheers,
Tom

Thanks for the advice Tom, I'll be honest I did not know that but now I do they will be banned from Rex from this day forward.
As an extra little mod I've placed some audi badges on the rear of the front seats, might not be to everyone's taste but myself and the general love it, always nice to add your own little twist on things.

Busy day with the car today, I've repaired the boot with one of a few parts from @A2Steve so thanks again mate your a star, I realigned my steering wheel, properly fixed an Audi badge to the dash, replaced the drivers side rear passenger door lower window sill thanks again to Steve and finally resprayed the lower door trim on the passenger side to match the wing mirrors, all in all a good days work on Rex.
Tomorrow I will do the drivers side and maybe the rear panel that holds the number plate, we will see what tomorrow brings.

Hi Mark. How did it go with the boot hinge. Was it ok in the end?
The side blades have worked really well ?

Wasn't to bad, the interior trim needs parts of the cloth headlining sticking back on and I snapped a rivet on the plastic boot sill but nothing major and I'm just happy to have my boot working again.

Looking very tasteful there Mark and still super shiny after Sunday’s meet.

Spent today finishing the spraying of the door blades on the drivers side and stripping the rear number plate panel down and spraying in silver, the lacquer is drying at the moment but I'm not happy with the finish, it seems the paint didn't take well to some spots and it looks naff, still it will do for now until I tackle it again, I blame the wind.

Love the side strips and the mirror caps matching the wheels, but I’m not feeling the boot plinth. That breakers gone now sorry mate, had another 2 since.

I'll be honest Steve I was thinking the same myself, either way it is what it is for now, if I can get another red one I might just change it back, but I am thinking of making the spoiler silver.
