Thanks to Brad Wakefield ( www.bradwakefield.com )

Just had some photos through from the DM photographer dealing with my letter.

Nice, very professional! The contrast works well.

Shame youve got the blacked out s2 badge

[Rusty]

Badges look better black than flaky, crusty red enamel & chrome

But you could have argued they are NLA (or at least I think one of them is?)

Nice pictures andy - have to let us know what day its going to be in the paper.

The rear coupe one is for sure. The front are probably available, but only to people with stock. I dont imagine audi making any more!

I quite like my black ones, they took quite a lot of work to do and are subtle while fitting in with my black and white theme. Quite like the wheels in the pics, been unsure about them as I was looking at getting another set of OZs or TD PR1.2s for weight reduction but I think I'll stick with what I've got. Perhaps have them powdercoated black and have the lips re-cut... one day

I quite like the look of the black grill surround but I think you made a mistake using black front rings for the pictures as you can hardly see it is an Audi and so it looks 'modified'.

This is not a critism of your car, but VAG will not be interested in or want to be associated with chavved up old Audis (I am not saying yours is Andy) but we might be able to convince them to look after their 'heritage'

It is little things like this that need to be considered if you are going to take the big boys and win (well, convince them to take the way out that we have pre-selected anyway :mischeif

Cheers n

Given less than a day's notice and the fact that I'm still pretty ill, I'm chuffed even if it's not perfect for you Si...

[Jamo]

Nice alloys :mischeif:

[Acidburn]

Where abouts did they take the pictures?

was it just a local park to you?

congrats on getting some response so far, did they ask much about the audi.nla site?

[Rusty]

It was just a photographer as the letter will be printed as written, if printed at all. The guy was interested but will not be reporting on it.

The pictures are taken up on The Downs in Brissol, a magnificent part of the city and a place I have visited a lot over the last 18 months when I needed to get some greenery close to home. After the shoot I popped off for an icecream (with flake & red sauce )

Cut him a little slack Si, he's busted his balls over this and within a week of setting up the website he's getting coverage in a national newspaper

Keep up the great work Andy

I was curious about the name change too. Nice looking car though, and a nice reg too!

Just had a thought, have you tried white Audi rings?
