Don't ask me how I found that in the first place. It's not like I browse ETKA instead of porn when I am bored...

If you spot any on your travels, yes, help would be great!

Etka was a just a blip i believe you. I am really going to piss you of now :roll eyes: . I have them, they came with my hardtop and they look great . But yes i will keep my eyes peeled for you just in case.Fingers crossed.

Its good we all have different tastes, cars are boring when they all look the same, this is how new trends form. As for the RS2 seats, anyone near Northampton taking me out in their RS2 so I can see? (I've always wanted to go out in one!)

Be careful, make sure you have the cash ready to buy a set after trying them.

And ready access for a car loan to buy a silver / green / black RS2. You could be smitten.

I think they are good value for a good one at the moment, they can only go up as there were / are not too many still around. Look at M3 E30 and the Lancia Integrale values, not to mention Porsche 964 ( Carrera 4 for me ).

I'd only like an RS2, as I'd want a cheap seized engine M3 to be able to make it RHD and put a 3.2L six cylinder engine with a super charger into it. The Integrale is also LHD and I'd be scared of the rust. But would still like a go in both, for a week.

Macspring, I sold my Boleros because i f**cking hated them, I really don't know why people rave about them so much, awful looking wheels, like fat OZ Superturismos with a much wannabe lip, its just not my cup of Mocha I am afraid. And the 5x112 conversion is out - have you seen how much trouble I have had trying to get the Brocks to work? lol

Not worries re the Boleros, it was just that they can be relatively inexpensive and still oem, but agreed there are better / wider wheels.

LOL about the trouble you had getting the Brocks to fit, so I fully appreciate you won't be changing 5 x 112 anytime soon.

argh... too many things to quote...

LOL, I know. I'm not sure how to have a number of boxes in the one reply.

What bits are you referring to when you mention the hardtop attachment covers are as rare as hens teeth?

Part of the power mod is on 12v.org here: http://12v.org/audi/headworkshop/1.htm and also what was posted here about de-posting the MAF: http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showpos...57&postcount=1

Thats it, she's pretty much done and I am just going to enjoy her long term, besides, modding wise I have the track TT taking up all of my pennies now.

Sell the TT and stop the financial haemorrhage, and start a bigger haemorrhage by fitting a I5 20vt and quattro to the Cabrio.







Just kidding.





Enjoy.

Realistically mod wise now, I have a spare MAF which I will modify according the the 12v.org pages, a new custom exhaust from MIJ and if I can find them, the hardtop attachment covers that are rarer than the hardtop itself and probably a set of black alloys for the winter tyres (so I don't stress about them getting dirty in the winter lol)

Maybe a set of Boleros for the winter ? 4 x 108 or 5 x 112 - see below.

The 17" five spoke with be nice also.

But you'd have to decide to go to 5 x 112 which would mess up your existing wheels.

As for the interior, it took me ages to source a good set of S2 ABY heated front seats and I have no plans on changing them, the RS2 recaros are nice, but the S2 style is the perfect as an upgraded version of the ones that came with the car, I've had the drivers one refurbed so they are staying.

I see your point. But do take the opportunity to sit into / drive a Recaro B4 if you get the chance.

Just because one has gone down the wrong road, doesn't mean you shouldn't cut your losses and stop, and go down the correct road.

The only reason I say this, again no offence intended, is that I have a set of Golf Mk 2 Recaros in black leather / black alcantara in my manual seated ex-daily S2 Avant and I haven't yet worked out how to fit them in place of my electric, black leather / grey alcantara seats in my now preferred daily UrS6. I really miss sitting in the Recaros.

Any info on this Maf mod 12v.org?

When I got the car it had an RS badge on the back, peeling it off was the first thing I did on the day I bought it...

We're on the same page here so.

I agree with you totally over the RS2 badging from the grille, I would consider the grille if I could find one at the right price, but I would take the RS2 badge off, that said, I like the stock grille and I am so-so about the mesh one (I don't like the silver rad poking through) but I do like that the rings are different to cars of that era because they are actually TT OEM rings modified to fit!)

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression, it was the RS2 mesh grille I was 'fretting' about. On all of my S cars the first thing I do is take off the front and rear badges.

So I wasn't even thinking of the idea of an RS2 badge on the front.
