Anyone tried A2OC DE then; maybe someone knows someone, that knows someone, and that even speak german? I tried some time ago to contact Votex via VW, but as you say, then you just get some «thanks for your interests» and «A2 was a car ahead of its time, but is now discontinued» blablabla
 
I too had given up hope of a Votex and, without warning, beneficent opportunity knocked (wearing the face of Steve Birchall) and supplied a Votex kit in colour match for my car.

Good things do happen and dreams CAN come true.

I’m still working on fitting but that’s just because I’m slow and useless.

Evening Alex,

Your post is a revival of a thread that hasn’t had any input for some 3 years sir.

You may not get a response from Steve @Birchall about this. From memory it never quite worked out.

Carl @Birchalls Son may still be offering the Votex Style Spoilers though.

I am actually in communications with a company who might be able to reproduce the actual body kit though. I’ve not asked about the spoiler as we already have a solution to that with Carl.

Give me a few weeks and I may have some good news.

Kind regards,

Tom

Haha,

No problems Alex. I got very excited when I see this threads resurrection. I thought perhaps someone had found someone to reproduce these for us.

I have been in occasional contact with a company who have not necessarily said no, but they haven’t said yes either. I’ll keep pestering them to see what is possible.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Let's hope this happens as I also really want the kit or something equally complimentary for my little bug.
 
Realistically, I don't think this is going to happen.

Moulds aren't easy or cheap.
Volumes are going to be low.
Cost per part is therefore going to be high.

That's without taking any copyright stuff into account. You also won't get international buyers, partly because of shipping costs and partly because of safety requirements - CE ain't easy any more for you guys.

Afternoon Bret,

You raise some valid points here but please do not dismiss this just yet. Steve @Birchall along with Carl @Birchalls Son produced a great looking spoiler that Audi haven’t come asking about (yet).

Steve where did you get with the copyright challenge and what was said. Do you still have this response from Audi that could settle this before I continue where you left off a few years ago.

Either way, let’s wait until I have a provisional price from the company as I’m working on the principle that nothing is impossible. I do understand that it could well turn out to be uneconomical to continue though.

Yes shipping costs to outside of the UK could be expensive so happy to exclude this from any investigation into pricing and only offer these to UK members should it all work out.

If this does all work out, this will be purely for members who are after the kit as I already have an original kit and don’t require another. Like everything I have offered so far, everything will be worked out to the nearest penny and all displayed publicly, thus a non profit venture for me. Just happy to help out where I can.

Fingers crossed I have a response from Steve regards copyright along with a positive response from the moulding company in the coming weeks.

Kind regards,

Tom

Do you really think Mrs 2 Work won’t be demanding one for project 250 Tom to go with her R-NSE Mk 2?? ?

Afternoon Erling,

Shhhh, don’t let my wife know.

I’m trying to avoid retrofit/upgrade conversations at the moment as she has shown interest in the OPS Page on the RNS-E.

I’m hoping she loses interest/forgets as I’ve given away a DD Dashboard, rear PDC Bumper and sold my 2 spare RNS-E PUs quite cheap.

To alleviate any Votex desires I told her that OEMs Mud Flaps will be donated to 250, which will make it look much better. Not sure if I’ll get away with this over time.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
All can we please just stop posting on this thread as many are reading this as a list for available purchase of a "votex kit". If / when a suitable supplier is found then a genuine thread can be produced. Admins can this thread be locked please.

Afternoon Graham,

A very reasonable request and agree that a separate thread is in order once a supplier has been identified.

Kind regards,

Tom
