    Newbie with Black 3B Coupe

    Hey everyone, been reading the forum for a while now but never really posted... Until now!

    I've owned my S2 since August '13, bought from a forum member and now being used as my daily driver, here's a pic of my little beauty! Sitting on some Nothelle wheels recently bought from forum member Josh_28.



    I absolutely adore this car and I plan on doing a couple of bits and pieces to really make her my own, I guess a small list is in order:
    • Bit lower with some new shocks/springs
    • Completely clean engine bay and give her some new hoses (hoping for a nice sheen)
    • Redo the roof lining as it's sagging like ****!
    • Get some bodywork sorted and replace missing pannels
    • A respray to touch up the tired looking paint
    • Some higher class speakers to replace existing ones


    Not planning on making her look too "non-standardy" as they're gorgeous cars anyway!

    So yeah, hi again.

      Welcome along. Good to see a 3b getting some attention, especially a black one.

            Wish I'd noticed the wheels when they were available, do you know what size/offset they are?

                After our conversation kit what odds would you have given that within a couple of days this car would turn up with the very wheels we talked about.Spooky but nice

                  Yeah, it's funny, can only be a handful of sets of those rims in the UK.

                          You really dont' know? Your teasing me right?

                          They must be one of the rarest alloys that were supplied by audi or as in this case Nothell Engineering the company that breathed on the S2 giving it bigger lungs and overshadowing the S2 so much that AUDI retaliated and the rest is history the RS2.

                          When you finished with them i will pay the same price they were sold for recently

                            Aha thanks again but I'm genuinely serious!

                            Not familiar with them at all, at first I thought they were the Avus A6 ones but when I saw them up close I was stumped!

                            Any idea on names, codes or even the value of them? As I said I'm literally clueless apart from the fact they say Nothelle on them :L
