Audi A1 by mgpdoc ••

[mgpdoc]

So, in other news , I also decided to install the Sparco steering wheel on the golf instead of the A1, and so I went back to the OEM one for some days





Also installed a white led on the Start/Stop button instead of the yellow one





Yes, two tone colour, not three



But as you would propably have guessed, i did not install the oem steering wheel to stay with it for long - so yes I ordered another one







Audi TTS (8S) new steering wheel





Test fitted











Now need to figure how to make the buttons work.

Cheers



More to come

So, I love the new steering wheel. And from what I have seen so far, so do most of you people.

But, you know me. Cant leave anything just be. I have to add my own personal touch

So, I have been cruising lately like this



LoL

That is just for me to hit the horn when needed. Lucky me i know which pins to use for horn from my racing steering wheel experience. Where is my airbag I hear you saying.

i will tell you that even with it on, no horn, no bueno.
No light in the buttons either. Airbag? No, not really.

So first things first.

The airbag went to the trim shop. hehe



Dont rush. This is just a first attempt



And although it wasnt bad, it was a bit tacky



Rejected the red airbag attempt

Stitching was perfect and would stay



Made some LEGO key chains till airbag attempt #2 was ready



And it was ready



YES, now we're talking









I loved it



Installed it





yes you are seeing correctly - buttons are red now





Then went for a mountain ride to enjoy it on twisty roads



Athens from above



Buttons as you saw are now red with interior lighting, horn works, and also airbag
And I tell you it wasnt easy. The hardest part though, will be to make multifunction buttons work, even on a car that had multifunction steering wheel before.

More to come

Removed some interior lights



Wanted to replace these



Meanwhile we did work on the steering wheel swap















Meanwhile I kept going with the led swap







Resulting in this









Till next time

[mgpdoc]

Had some more travelling with the car

















Bought some OEM stuff for the forthcoming 30k service pit stop



Also bought a Cupra Lip, doesnt seem to be able to go on easily but might give it a shot before i abandon the idea, otherwise I will sell it



New international deliveries



Steering column stuff from a TTs













Also, bought me again a new vcds





So did a forced regeneration for the dpf to try it



Car is running stronger for some time now, but more on that later



Cheers
