Spotted another dolphin 04 1.4tdi at the Lochee Lidl this lunchtime when I was there in the A6. Dolphin grey, 5-spoke possibly TT or fat 5 alloys, Heko deflectors. Thought it was Luke's Lyra until I remembered his plates and it didn't have his wee sharkfins on either. I've obviously got my one, there was another one (no Hekos, standard wheels, I think 05 plate) I saw a few months ago in another retail park here, and then there was a different one in the same Lidl last summer that had 15" pepperpots with I think lowered or sport suspension and sunshades in the back windows. I'm serious when I say that there are a lot of non A2oc A2s in Dundee - there are 4 in my village outside Dundee alone (granted, 3 of them are mine!).

Hi Robin just noticed this post...the a2 with pepperpots didn't have centre caps with a red ring on them by any chance?
Couldn't tell you if there was a red ring on the wheels - I'm not that much of a spotter (!). I had a massive doubletake - there is a large concrete wall on one side of the carpark that I park behind in summertime to be in the shade. When I got back to my car - it was only as I started reversing out of the space that I realised what had been disturbing me as I was approaching the car but hadn't rationalised - that there were two dolphin grey A2s a space apart parked in the same shadow!

Disappointed Guys ! Did not see a single A2 all the way from home, South of Kendal, to St Andrews and back today ! 440 Miles not one A2. It wasn’t a joy ride. The trip was to pick up my Uncle & Aunty to take them to my Mothers Funeral tomorrow.
You were going too quickly to see the matte handprints in the lacquer layer! .. the next day I went to my MOT place - there was another dolphin grey A2 (I know the owner from last year) there, directly after going past a silver A2 parked around the corner. Bearing in mind Luke's Lyra, that means I know of 5 dolphin cars in the Dundee area, let alone yours further southwest..
I can clearly buy all of those things .. it's what you do with them that counts (and the sequence). You also didn't see the marks on doors and bonnet where someone clearly decided to sand an imperfection down smooth with 200 grit at most and the other one "corrected" with a car key (clearly a very narrow imperfection 2-foot long across the bonnet). But.. this is my every day car so I will get onto it eventually, but doing the bigger proportion of fettling on the other A2s at the moment (so that we continue to have a working car for my other half's commute, and I have a spare when I get onto the important stuff with my everyday).
