Today I.....

Today I was disappointed and surprised nobody has come up with d-tron branding to add to diesel Audis. It would be a simple photoshop job so I might just do it myself, if anyone can recommend a good decal printer?
 
Today I (well for the last couple of hours I)

Made a start on the 70k 1.4.

Excellent condition wing and door back on ?

Hoping to do the other side tomorrow night and maybe get the front end on.

Service, machine polish and a bit of titavating and she’ll be ready to do.
 
Today I changed the thermostat for the 2nd time in 6mths, seems like the ECP one was only for summer use, as it ran at 80 in the winter. Gates one now fitted and it got up to 90 in a couple of miles nice, strangely on investigation the ECP one did have 87deg stamped on it, but it just wasn’t correct.

Today I faffed around with Photoshop, thinking I'd love to do this is aero mod. if only I had a workshop and a bit of time....

Interesting, would you not have to take it lower to get more aero benefit?

In the back of my mind I think if you could do a full length flat under tray and a longer rear spoiler you’d improve on 0.28 Cd that an SE specced car currently has.

That's effectively what the 1.2TDI 3L has. The FSI has the same spoiler. Not sure if the front aero winglets under the wheel arches are also shared with the 3L.

The A2 1.2 TDI has an official drag coefficient of 0.25. Was this achieved just through the larger rear spoiler, aero winglets, presumably flat under tray and those aero wheel trims. Did they have anything else to get the 0.25 Cd?

They are also considerably lighter, which helps massively, they do indeed share the winglets, every part of the underneath of the car is made flat with aluminium heat shielding, and they also have a spoiler behind the front undertray, on the underneath.
 
I've never noticed before but the wing mirror is missing
I didn’t even notice till you pointed it out! I focused on where the wheels were in relation to the inflated arches. Whilst it’s a film prop and you wouldn’t widen the track, it looks a bit strange with wheels so far in IMHO.
