Hi all, thought it was about time I made a proper post about my A2 seen as it has been two years since I joined the club, and around two and a half years since I purchased my beloved A2.
Its a 2004(54) 1.4 tdi sport which I have been upgrading over the last two years. To put things into perspective I started upgrading it before I could even drive as I am 18 and bought the car when I was 16 with nearly a year to go until I could Learn to drive. I learnt how to drive in around 3 months and passed my tests First time. From then on, yes with some old car problems along the way, I have enjoyed every mile that's ticked over and every upgrade I have done to the car. So far I have put nearly 10K miles on the clock and lets just put it this way - I have nearly spent as many £'s on my A2 as the number of miles I have put on her!?!?!
So far I have done the following:
Bose sound system and iPod/USB/AUX integration - Installed by Tom
Tyres upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sport 3's
Platinum leather seats (currently stored in loft ) and Black leather and alcantara seats ( both with electric lumbar adjustment )
Wheels Refurbished
Spare Wheel
TT Metal Pedals
Second hand Genuine mats - however fronts need replacing as drivers side has big holes worn into it
False boot floor
Rear Cupholder unit and Centre console tray
TomTom Satnav - Hard wired by Tom
Cruise Control - Installed by Tom
Kompfortblinker indicator upgrade - Installed by Tom
Votex Bodykit (including attatched donor bumpers ) and respray - Thanks to Mike and Robin
Home made votext tacking covers ( I work in fabrication engineering )
Underbody front wheel arch aero trim - Thanks to Mike and Robin
Modified painted headlights (bought off ebay ) which needed a good wet sand and buff ( still not 100% )
New Steering Rack, CV boots and Rear Brake Calipers
Audi Themed Dust Caps
Heko wind deflectors
Mudflaps ( pre-votex and now stored )
Pressed Number Plates
Audi Themed Plate surround on Rear
Meyle HD Drop Links
Brembo Xtra-Line Drilled Discs and Brembo pads
Hel Braided Brake Lines
OE replacement brake disc dust guards ( colour matched to body! )
New ABS unit and master cylinder
Brake fluid change
Full interior LED light upgrade
LED Side lights, numberplate lights and reversing lights
Smoked Side indicators
The cars factory spec:
Front fog lights
Platinum cloth electric lumbar seats
Climate control
Full DIS
Optional metallic black paintwork
My plans are still endless for my A2 however I think I have one special A2 to be proud of!! Here are some pictures of the car when it was untouched, its upgrades and how it is today:
As you can see its my pride and joy and my goal is to keep it the rest of my life and complete the list of future mods to create a one of a kind A2.
This was my first post on the forum so I hope I didn't disappoint?!?!?!
Cheers
