As I understand it, it was exactly that. And I agree, the smooth grille from the older ones does look better. The only version improved by the slatted grille to my mind is the Colour Storm edition. The smooth matt version they had looks awful once it starts to fade, but the smooth shiny one doesn't look right next to the matt black arches and bumper inserts.I suspect that the 'fake slatted grill' was probably an attempt by the then Audi marketing department to make the car look more 'normal'.
I dread to think what this whole project has cost.I would love to convert one of my A2,s to a caddy, I wonder what it would cost ?
I was asked recently by an non car person when they saw an older A2 with smooth grille if it was an electric !Yes, I thought that the smooth grill was more in keeping with the original design of the A2. I suspect that the 'fake slatted grill' was probably an attempt by the then Audi marketing department to make the car look more 'normal'. I also think that the smooth grille (somewhat ironically) makes the car look more modern
Very true!!!!nice work but definitely not siutable for tall people...
Yes, it was an Audi Apprentice project (an A2 based Caddy) which was the inspiration for this conversion. The window at the back of our vehicle was actually from a Mk1 VW Caddy. It fits the A2 perfectlyI was asked recently by an non car person when they saw an older A2 with smooth grille if it was an electric !
The conversion looks amazing as well . Would like to see it in person . I own an A2 and a 1987 VW caddy so it is in my opinion a superb and original take on the A2 . Did Audi ever do a design exercise like this ?
