    Yeah Simon the original owner had to replace the exhaust as it had a hole it in so he changed the tail pipe at the same time.

    Looks lovely, keep the original bits so you can always get back to OEM.
    I'm looking at putting the 9 spoke RS6 rims on the car in an 18" and then H&R springs! The RS2 bumper I have mixed feeling about but I'm leaning more towards not doing it!

      RS6 wheels are nice, or A6 C5 V8 wheels like this: http://www.s2forum.com/forum/attachm...1&d=1317835420 they look lovely on a coupe.

      One thing to add, looks like the rear left light is the older style and the right side one the newer style, or is it just the pic?

        Cracking looking example you have there. Personally I think you should keep it standard and stand out from the crowd.

        You're right, I've seen quite a few coupes like this, enough to think that they must have left the factory like this.

        I see that there is no rear wiper arm on the boot spoiler.

          Would be very odd if it was like that from the factory. More likely shopping carts damaging one of the original lights and replacing with another. In this case the left side would be the original.

            I agree with your logic, I've seen at least 10 coupes with mismatched tail lamps which seems an excessive amount for them all too have sustained the same damage.

                    Yeah those rims are also really nice, choosing the right set of rims is proving to be harder then getting married.

                    The rear lights are different, the owner has said he didn't change them but I'm not sure!

                      Oh and yeah there is no rear wiper and from what I can see there isn't any space for one either! Hmmmm thinking about it now I don't even think the wiper stalk even has the ability to activate a rear wiper! I will check.

                        The good thing is they are original Audi and are forged? ''geschmiedet'' and therefore light wheels.
                        If you'd like a matching set of rear lights I can help you out.

                          As far as I can see, there is no hole in the hatch glass for the wiper. Check your private messages here and email me.

                            I can't argue with that.

                            That's because the wiper motor and arm are normally mounted on the boot spoiler as I already said.
