My little C5 ABT S2.

[EB ABT s2]

I've been lucky enough to locate a never installed ABT rear wing for the coupe.

Do you have any more pictures or idea how ABT attached it to the hatch glass?
It appears that ABT completely removed the factory rear wing to install the ABT one as the ABT one does not extend as far forward on the C pillar

Hey Peter.

I have tryed to look at the wing, but there is no way to see how they made it or where they cut it.
I have also call ABT but all the guys that buildt the cars back then are no longer there.

do you know if they still have the tools for the panels?

Excellent transformation. They should have made the arches like that from day 1 IMHO

I 2nd that, and always hoped the S2 would follow the Ur quattro body wise. Was dissapointed when it cam looking like a normal Cq. I think Audi missed the mark on not fitting them from the factory.

Sorry mate, the molds are no longer existing.

Make some. You never know what can happen.

Make some. You never know what can happen.

Like all body kits and reproduction bits.... Only a limited market. So set up fees are high and return is low.

I would take on making the kits if there was enough interest.

However if there is only a couple of people it would be just as easy to custom build each car.

P.S. a fantastic looking car thou, well done!!!

Thx mate.
Pic's are coming the only problem is that it is like 30cm of snow and it freezing cold I Norway now. So the car is snuggly packed in my garage just waiting for the summer to come.

I think the DM mark was almost the same as the dollar back then so it was a fairly expensive build.

It's not steel, I think it's actually kevlar, I have worked on fibreglass and it's not the same for sure. It really thick and yellow and it's stiff as hell.

[Tonks4x4]

is this the same car???
