I'm more curious as to why I have never seen it when it is only 500 yards from my mum's, but I guess with the limited milage over the last 6 years it doesn't come out too often which personally can be very detrimental to an FSI.

The TT comps that I’d fitted were in good condition but had a few kerb marks around the lips. As I’m not sure how long they will be staying I didn’t want to fork out for a full refurb. Rim blades have traditionally been fitted by chavs to add a fluorescent band around the edge off their wheels to match their “Monster” energy drink stickers; but now they’ve brought out a slimline version that are far more subtle. At £24.99 delivered they have covered the kerb marks on the wheels very well and add a nice finish to the wheels in my opinion.

I felt with the grey wheels and grey bodywork something was missing, so today I’ve got busy with the paint and painted the roof line silver. Took inspiration from the A1 and I’m very happy with the result, it’s just what it needed.
Will pot close up shots once it’s had time to harden and be polished back.

Seriously tempted to do this to Tonka but in gloss black to match the open sky and change the mirrors for black ones.

Maybe do it in vinyl wrap Incase you don’t like it? There was a moment just before I started spraying when I thought what am I doing, but had to go in then feet first ?

I’ve photoshopped it already and I’m pretty convinced. Won’t be doing it myself though ?

Go for it, it’s nice to put your own stamp on a previous project car.

That looks amazing Steve, the way the silver picks out the highlights in the wheels is very effective. Happy coincidence ... or visionary genius if you had that in mind all along! ?

I think there’s always some overall plan with them, it’s just that my subconscious gives it to me in bits ??
It's a shame the A2 isn't like the Caddy I used to have where you just fit the seat bases from a Touran and it allows you to fit almost any seats across the VAG range.
I wonder if there are any other seat bases that would fit the A2 and allow this?

I really like the idea of sitting lower, will keep an eye on your progress.
Isn't that called having a wife, kids and a dog? ?

I think we should collectively commision a long wheel base A2 for @Bargepower given the amount of A2 part couriering that he does for us all. Very thankful for the delivery of a pair of cream leather rear seats for me yesterday from @TYP 8Z to go with the TT ones that i'm in the process of fitting.
Had a nice visit from Bob @Jellybean too, who has kindly donated a set of brackets for the TT seats. I think i'm going to weld them to the TT seat runners and will be calling on help from @Hef.
Once again, another of my projects is taking shape because of the collective help from the community
