Default Evening All

Havent been on here for a while, with so many things to do for work.

But some updates on my 95 Coupe, in the last couple of months Ive obtained and fitted new front wings, Painted them , albeit temporary untill I can get the money together and have the whole repainted in Red.

Quite happy with the fit of the wings, as they are both genuine, one second hand and one direct from Audi, also took the opportunity to get the front S2 bumper to sit properly.

Put new tyres on the fron, but will replace the alloys with some that are a bit bigger diameter wise.

I have also replaced both front wishbones and new bushes with new ball joints, also fitted were new brake discs and pads all round too.

MOT was passed with no problems other than an advisory on some minor corrson on the brake pipes.

Interior wise, very little been done, except that the old airbag steering wheel has been replaced with a never been used S2 three spoke steering wheel, the air bag light still operates as it should on the dash as Ive fooled the system by adding a resistor to the circuit.
I know that there will be a debate on removal of the air bag, but at 16 years old, was it any good anyway, and that you cant test them, so couldnt rely on it anyway!

When I get chance i'll post some pictures.

The only negative, something fell off the shelf in the garage, and clipped the side of my new wing!.....much swearing ensued, as its now dented, andwill need to be beaten out prior to its full repaint.

And even better news, my new A3 170 Quattro sport is being delivered in the morning.....

Cheers

Ringo
