Audi A1 by mgpdoc ••

The matte ones are the cheapest ones available, and have no chrome on the inner rings, thus i dont prefer them for the interior.
Otherwise i am more of a satin guy myself like you said

 

[Game_IT]

much better now

So what do you know. I have some updates for the AUD1ESEL. I already love this car, and it is becoming more and more mine every day

Tint time -



Again went for the 3M CS-35, like I have in all my other cars, and in the family cars as well, throughout the years





Classical protection for the window switches for a couple of days LoL



Driver side on



Some exterior shots











Dat Logo Doe



Another thing I did, is that I decided to tackle the footrest issue.
I had to find a way to make it work

Took some measurements



And I made it happen

So here is a big update for the little AUD1ESEL

Came to the garage one day to find one seat missing . . .



Then this happened



Out of nowhere





Dont worry, I was just checking something



Hmmmm



LoL on the Golf



Then changed back everything the way it was

Next to this, i still prefer mine





Then, let's move to the interior

I like how these climate controls look



This does not suit them



New boxes from stealership



Yummy parts









Let's remove the stock one





Out



in it went



porn





Tools needed





Turned out great





More to come, to bring you up to date

Cheers​

Then this happened



Aha there it is

50:50



Let's go 100%



All done

All done





Lights off



And on



I totally fell in love with how it came out

it is a german brand, not easy to work with to be honest. but we made it happen. it is a team effort though on such a difficult surface.

Big fan.

thank you :thumbsup:

I cannot make a decision if i will go with 18 or stay 17 inch to be honest

if 17, it will be 9x17 stretched on my 215/45/17
If 18, it will propably be 9,5x18 ET38 or 8,5x18 ET30 on 215/35/18.

Really cant make up my mind. LoL

 

[Game_IT]

thanks....

i think 18 is better

 

[Ich_Will]

Good lord that is a hot looking car...:wub:

So, I dont recall if I had told you about it, but I kinda ordered a new front grill for my AUD1ESEL project. An aftermarket "RS1" grill in gloss black from Germany, which arrived some days before.



Definitely not cheap, but quality was super good to be honest.

Lost no time, and decided to go for it on my own, after work



Bumper came off, dont mind the headlight, i thought it needed to be removed, whereas it didnt. Although there is a DIY online, I wanted to go for it on my own, weird right



Sit back and enjoy



Two grilles side by side - and the usual aftermath of garage work, lol



OEM grille removed



New Grille on



Thought the Oem crashbar would look ugly in silver behind the grille, so I removed it. Dont worry just to paint it.



Done





ReInstalled



Installed everything back on - minus the Audi rings which were smaller in the A1 and did not fit



I then got a new Audi badge from dealership, which is slightly bigger, and comes from the A6-A7-A8-RS6-RS7 etc.



It was then ready





The grille also had the mounting thing for the license plate - but look at it



So I thought I'd make a vinyl plate, to go right here



So I did





Looks really good now, and legal-ish LoL



Sorry for the iphone pics - but I didnt have my camera with me at the time

Cheers​
