Hi all,]
I've had my A2 TDi 90 a month now, and after spending quite a bit getting the brakes and thermostat sorted, I'm looking at getting a few things done here and there and just need some advice from experienced owners.
Firstly, The bonnet flap on the 90 is different to the one on the 75 as you all know. I actually prefer the glossy black one and was wondering if they can be changed around and if the glossy one can be de-badged maybe, or the badge easily removed and painted.
Secondly, I need new boot struts. I found some that are for the A2 but it said they weren't compatible for my car, given the reg?! Can anyone provide a link to a pair of struts? I bought springs for the remote boot opening but the struts aren't in good nick at all.
Also, one of the previous owners has installed blue LED sidelight bulbs which i hate!! LOL. Do I have to remove the headlight to change the bulbs? May sound silly but I've heard it mentioned before and heard its relatively easy.
I'm sure I have more questions, but this is all I can think of atm. Unfortunately I'm not as enthusiastic about the car as most A2 owners seem to be...but I'm hoping if I can sort a few things out it'll come to me. Long list though lol.
TIA
