Cheers.... Fat

I have the 5 unit ones in the sides but just wondered if the 12's were "That Much Brighter" as I dont think the smaller ones will give enought light for the fogs!!

Guess I will order a set and see how they look!! - - I hope!!

S2 ride

Hi guys. iam new to the forum, i was thinking of buying an S2 and was wanting to know if the ride suffers when you fit 18in rims, ie tram ride etc

IMHO it makes no differance to the ride.... An S2 has a hard ride anyway...

The main reason for fitting them is to improve the brakes which as standard are pretty rubbish... Especially when driven "Hard"... The other reason I fitted 'em was that again IMO the car looks better as the larger wheels & smaller profile of tyre matched with the spacers "Fills The Arches Better" and gives the car a better stance & Profile!! - But IMO you have to fit the Avus wheels to keep the "orginal" look.... Which is what I wanted!!

I can't honestly say that buy fitting the 18's it has better road holding as it has been six years since i drove it hard with the standard set up!!

The Porsche Brakes make one hell of a differance thoo.... Should have had these fitted from new!!!

Hope this helps...

Hi thanks for the welcome. i have to say your car looks very smart, not to over done.
the old saying less is more springs to mind. with outdoubt the 18in wheels really help the apperance of the car.

Thanks for the coments - thats what I wanted - To keep it as orginal as possable but with bringing the into the 21st Century...

It has to be said that in the begining I wanted the car 100% standard but after being on here for a few weeks that thought was quickly changed!!! :mischeif:

Just tried to use these units.... and I have to say they are an absolute load of cr*p.... :corey:

They didn't even light up the Fog lamp housing....

So they have be sent back to the Fleabay supplier with an email requesting a full refund inc postage....

So now thinking about a proper set of H3 HID's if I can find a set at the right price!!! with small ballasts

[Le S2 Audi]

Just taken delivery of some new mats from Autostyle.co.uk

Did have a sey of green ones with cream pipping (also from Autostyle - now listed for sale on the forum!!)

I saw Jas11's (thanks for the logo - which I have added here for other to use) mats and just had to have a set of black ones with red pipping to match the S2 logo.....







Logo if you want to use it for your own mats!! Thanks to Jas11

can't you get them with holes in the front mats for mounting onto the carpet fixing points ?

[Fat Audi 80]

I have the same mats and used an "awl" to make small holes in the correct places. They are then perfect for pushing over the buttons on the floor of the car...

I am Waiting for them (Autostyle) to ring back about the mounts....

They used to do them... As my old set has them!!

The fixings supplied are not suitable for the tabs in the car!!:corey:

Surely those holes will just rip and tear with any hard usage... I'm not upholstery expert, but you can get some sort of reinforcing rings to stop the holes turning natsy looking.

No, because the mats are foam backed and do not split / rip any futher. Mine have been like this for years with no change in the hole size.
