Agreed, that's quite nicely put together, especially the dashboard.

Agreed, the dashboard is a work of art.

I have no idea what the original dash should look like, so to make this one look ''right'' and authentic is some considerable effort! Love it.

i looked at them, thought thats lovely
then saw the pic of the dash/centre in fibreglass and thought - buggar they've messed that up
then the next picture i thought, no they havent - that looks the nuts..
Amazing what a 'retro' styled trim can do..
Very nice

My thoughts exactly. Absolute win. I like the wheel choice but if it were mine, I be tempted to risk the 'predictable' comments and bolt a set of black'n'silver Fuchs on....either 17s with low(ish) profiles or 15s with redwall tyres I think. Narrow front and chunky out back offering a nod of respect to it's aircooled relatives. |

Some more of the hifi setup:   Those speakers aren't particularly subtle, but they could have been a lot worse and I bet it sounds great  |

I love the subtle position of that gauge (vacuum? boost?) beneath the driver's side speaker |
| |
I will get round to finishing it at some point

Those Retro Sound headunits look very nice - been wanting one of those for a while now. Looks very appropriate in the Audi's dash (but a pity that the rest of the installation isn't more subtle) - any idea from where you found the info as to what they think about its quality & capabilities?

The website for the car is here: www.coupe-s.de/It's all in German but I can't see any reviews of the headunit as such. I see that you can buy them from VW Heritage: www.vwheritage.com/vw_parts_RetroSound-Radios_act_page.render_pageID_800_lang_EN_country_GB.htmI expect you can buy them elsewhere too, some reviews must be out there somewhere! |

They're available from a few places over here, but the only reviews I've been able to find anywhere were from the States & say that it's much better than the other brand of new spindle mount radios (can't remember who though), but I've not seen any info comparing it to a 'normal' modern stereo in the same or similar price range.
