    You did well there, Tradition currently list them for €202.24 if you want to retain the precious Audi rings on the cylinder body.

      The internal trims were very grubby.


      Gave them a good scrub in warm soapy water then left to dry in the sun.
      Then got a good coat of autoglym plastic protection.


      Then onto the alarm box. Traced wires back to this. I removed all the cut ins and made good.


      Also changed the throttle pedal which was broken for a good spare I had.

          The cover comes off. It’s a well known problem.

            Put her back in bed as the weather is changing tomorrow.
            Just waiting for door cards and headliner, put the bumper on and then I can book her for an mot.

                Just about anything on a car is in someway breakable, trust me I have to deal with stuff like that all the time.

                Looking great Dave, you'll be on the road in no time.

                The weathers still lovely here this morning but that is apparently set to change later as you say, I do hope we get some more spring, it's been lovely so far.

                  Are you going to remove the quattro badge on the front grill? Never understood why people need to stick extra badges on cars. If you don't know what an S2 is the quattro badge is not going to help either.

                    I will see if it's left a mark
                    I have a smaller one on the Nothelle and it looks quite good

                      I put my Nothelle wheels on the Avant so these have gone on the Coupe.
                      I had them refurbished a couple of years ago and the Pirelli tyres are like new.

                                I must say your are doing incredibel work. This thread is a great inspiration for me as I´m doing the kind of the same journey.

                                Regardint the throttle pedal. I´m having a hard time getting it loose from the floor pan. I can´t get the clips to unhook. Any pointers there?
