How come all the cars with red leather interiors I see have a red leather steering wheel and the blue one doesn't :(
 
It's not bad, perhaps a bit frustrating Audi didn't do blue leather & alcantara because it would be a bit grippier but there you go...or maybe better still black leather bolsters with blue alcantara inserts such as the ones in Passats/S3s :D Still, dreaming there...:rolleyes:
Another whinge; they're not heated:eek:
Oh and another, how did they manage sport seats but se gearknob?! :mad:
On a positive note (!) what are the chances of a split rear seat and electric rear window doorcards when you need them:D

Now to work on getting them heated:eek:
 
;) Thanks for the heads-up :cool:

The seats are in but I haven't fitted the door cards or gearknob yet because I can't decide if they really need a blue wheel to work or if the black doorcards and 'knob work better with the black wheel. I also can't decide if I prefer a black sport 'knob to the blue one...:eek:
Also annoyingly I have a pair of brand new Audi rear carpets with blue edging but can't get hold of any fronts :(
I also have the urge to get some alloys colour coded to the leather but for that to work I think they would have to be at least 17" to look right (brings me back to the 17" Fuchs replicas:p) so that probably won't happen!
I've got an idea to try trimming down a TT climate panel to fit as well to get rid of the worn buttons, the one I saw t'other day didn't have the soft finish and so hsdn't worn 8)
All this yet I wanted and still want a diesel. At this rate I'll probably end ip looking at an engine swap rather than selling:rolleyes::eek:
 
I think the blue door panels would look great..... Although ii am not a fan of blue gearknob, handbrake and steering wheel. Just looks a bit too much. Keep it black imo ;)

Not too sure on blue wheels too ;)

Would a TT climate control work? Interesting.


P.S
Do you have sport seats for sale?
 
I've just thought of a possible half-way solution though equally rare; mk4 Golf Colour Concept steering wheel. They're three spoke ones in black leather with iirc colour-coded stitching, so a Jazz Blue car would have blue stitching :cool:

I'm fairly sure a TT climate would plug in and work because I'm fairly sure they all sure the same plug configuration. I started this train of thought when comparing mine to a VW Climatronic panel and thinking of people trimming panels to suit double din conversions.. Having just thought of that I guess something from a Seat would plug in and be red illumination as well.
My train of thinking also goes that if the TT fits, the dials would match the look of a Blaupunkt Woodstock or similar. I don't think a Woodstock works with a Phatnoise though (that's another job still to do).

I'm not sure if I'll go back to the cloth seats or not yet but you've got first refusal :)

I may take a closer look at the TT climate panel....

Yes, let me know about the seats as long as they are black sports seats ;)

I wonder if the clock faces or needles could be used?

The seats are black Jacquard sport seats with split rear seats ;)
 
clock faces, no, as the indication marks are in different places. Needles, yes, with some work (I have them and have had for several years).

:cool: Pics please :D

I've found another couple of things today...

a brand new leather four spoke wheel in Mauritus Blue, I think it's from an A6 and I think it'll be darker than the seats but only one way to find out...

a brand new double din dash, if only it came with an RNS-E.



Oh and a pair of heated black cloth seat bases. They're for standard seats though so I doubt they'll be of any use unless the heater elements are pads and not woven into the fabric.


I guess I'm going to have to keep this one for a while now :eek::D
 
I've found some heater pads from various Audis for £15-£20 each :D

I need to look into it more but they should have suitable plugs on them to help things along but getting that done is a long way off yet, first of all I want to find some blue piping to put round the rubber mats :eek:
