Audi A1 by mgpdoc ••

Thank you very much
It is true, that engine without that cover looks awful
And trust me, I am the guy that removes plastic engine covers on the first week of ownership, LoL

Cheers

Remember my OEM wheels, the 17' ones, that I bought the car with





I thought, instead of selling them, using them, for winter season with winter tires on them

So, went ahead and powdercoated them



Machined them to fit my spacers



Installed them



The summer wheels were sent for gloss black powdercoating as well





This is how it came out with the winter setup











Cheers more to come



Winter tires are ordered and still pending



Cheers

Happy New Year

i really like your A1 build. For me the car needs about 60-70mm lower. have you even cut the suspension limiters or are they still stock?

Hello and thanks Dave

60-70mm lower, from what it already is ? For a daily ?
I am already scraping my floor under tha sump from times to times on this ride height



Cheers mate

So, ordered some 3000K d3S lamps to replace my OEM 4300K lamps on my Bi-Xenons



Again removed headlights







Lamps side by side

Oem one



3000K one



Put everything back together, and it came out like this





I loved it but there was a problem

Can you see it?



Look closer

That DRL led strip line should not be white, it spoils the fun



Took some while to figure it out, zero DIY threads on this, so i figured it out on my own, last night



Now everything matches and I am very happy.

What is more, my winter tires came and I am happy they came just in time



Installed on my winter wheels







Cheers

Excellent as always doc! How did you manage the yellow DRL situation?

[mgpdoc]

My summer wheels were received freshly powdercoated



Took them for a spin





Then I made something to mount them on without touching each other, because otherwise they would be damaged due to the stretched fitment.



















Received a new mount from OSIR





for my second Defi gauge



combined



In situ









I also bought this





But unsure if i can make it work on my car, we have different equipment installed - this one does not have bt installed etc etc

Washed it after my snow trip



More to come cheers

Started off seeing things like pedals, ashtray and tinting film and thought hmm.. ok..

It all came together really nicely though. Never been a fan of the Rotas tbh but each to their own, the rest of the car has been really well done. The retrim looks beautiful, well played!

[mgpdoc]

If you'd seen my two other project car threads, you'd knew what to expect, hehe

Cheers

Thanks

[cwspellowe]

Yeah I gather that now, i've not been a regular on here! I have a lot of catching up to do

[mgpdoc]

So, summer wheels prepping is almost done now





Then Darth came in and car was approved



Gave it a quick was under the chassis to loose all salt and mud although more will be coming very soon



Took some decisions for my A4/RS4 project and decided to reduce spending on other cars.



Till then though . . . .

Fabricated this oil sump bolt to receive the oil temp sensor, to be installed on the next oil change



And also . . .

Removed interior parts









Ready for trim shop



And done







Let's install this





I love it












Cheers

So let me update this thread a bit.

Last month, I put some serious miles on this car, I had a big roadtrip from Greece, to Romania, via FYROM, and Bulgaria. I put about 3500km to the car, and it cost me about 150euros of diesel premium fuel. Yeap that's correct. And that was with car heavily loaded, with the Thule box on it at all times.

Before I started the trip, I purchased an emergency spare wheel, from a golf mkiv R32 i believe as stated at the listing.



All it needed was a bit of love



Clean



Added a cap



Nice chance to use this as well to dress the tire





Wheel fits perfectly after i remove the air compressor that came with car, over the battery



Like this





There is also a tray that goes above the spare wheel and under the trunk lifted floor but I am not sure yet, I have the correct part number for it - if anyone can help, by all means.

Car's condition after the return trip home













Fresh diesel on paint work





We lifted the car and washed all the underbody to remove mud, salt and grime









Winter wheels removed



Time for summer wheels







They look so much better in gloss black

Car hadnt settled on height just yet
