A tiny bit concerned about the tyres on my favourite A2!

That'll look nice Steve - looking forward to the pictures, and seeing it in the real at the Elan Valley runI’ll be spitting the doorcards to have a black top rail and the rest of the doorcard cream to keep everything uniform. But I think it’s looking a damn site better now.
In later years you could specify Twist with a black dash and contact points. I had a breaker with that spec some years back. At that time you could also get the boot in black with Twist and Platinum - again the breaker was one, and the Cobalt FSI in Platinum is another.Looks good Steve and well done for the refit. There is actually a similar colour scheme in the original A2 brochure which I've always admired. Pine green too
Well done Steve. Looks a lot better in black. Love the steering wheel tooToday I finally got around to a job I’ve been putting off for so long. The dash swap to black. I’ve lost count of how many dashboards I’ve removed but I’ve never had to refit one. What an absolute pig of a job that is!! Whatever price you guys are paying @timmus for a DD dash conversion it is worth every penny.
I will never ever be doing this job again. Accessing all the screws isn’t an issue, but getting the dash back in and lined up properly is a pig.
Anyway

The dash two tone colouring is lovely in your car Ian.In later years you could specify Twist with a black dash and contact points. I had a breaker with that spec some years back.

Exactly what I’m planning for Tonka which is very similar in appearance to what you’ll end up with soul/twist wise.It needs a damn good clean now and I also managed to stick my knee through the passenger dash vent but that’s easily sorted.
I just think the lower section of the doorcard being cream will break things up a bit.
Have to decide on headliner colour next. I’m thinking of going back alcantara.
@George Hogg popped in this morning on his way back with his newly purchased TDI90 and had a go of the car. I think it may have deafened him so perhaps an extra backbox may be needed.
No I’ve got a set of cream doorcards here so I’ll be using the bottom half of those and the top half of my existing ones and bonding them back together,Exactly what I’m planning for Tonka which is very similar in appearance to what you’ll end up with soul/twist wise.
Are you planning on DIY or have you a recommendation for a trimmer?
I meant for the headlining in black alcantaraNo I’ve got a set of cream doorcards here so I’ll be using the bottom half of those and the top half of my existing ones and bonding them back together,
Oh, I’ll just do it myself.I meant for the headlining in black alcantara

Top half of the doors now swapped over to black with a bottom in cream.
Just waiting for the delivery of my chrome tipped switches now to finish it off.
