Storm 0 Posted July 24, 2004 Alpina527 bigbore throttlebody below. Bit special Is that chromed or polished? Alpina stripped it down, bored it out and sent it to me. I smoothed out all the casting marks and part numbers etc and polished it. It was then masked in copper tape in the critical area's and then chrome plated. Got it back after about a month (sorry about that Ian) then sent it back to alpina527 for rebuilding who then sent it back to me complete and i just added a brand new dashpot. As you can probably tell, i've put some mega hours into my C and i've had some brilliant input from many of the V-Dub traders. Got to applaud the dedication Lee, I know I'm fussy, but not a patch on you. Cant wait to see it. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted August 3, 2004 Got to applaud the dedication Lee, I know I'm fussy, but not a patch on you. Cant wait to see it. :) Hopefully everyone will have seen it by sunday night. I'm still busy detailing the interior which now has 8 hides in it!!! Usually a trim takes 3. I can't wait for sunday.... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted August 8, 2004 Cheers guys, full spec to follow, its three side of A4 long. Big shout to MJ for the interior which pretty amazing and he's not quite finished yet and also to Jason Buckley for the monster paintjob. Had a few teething problems first time out but they will be ironed out over winter. Thanks for the pics henny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted August 8, 2004 I've been playing with photoshop tonight 'cos I was mildly bored... not done a lot to this, (Lee's done more in real life than I could in photoshop anyway! :lol: ) but I like the effect anyway... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted August 8, 2004 Very "arty-farty" Henny, but I like it. Totally haven't made my mind up about the removal of the tailgate clusters. I think I prefer the standard light arrangement, but I'm just not sure. However, A20 LEE is clearly not about keeping things standard so my only other comment can be nothing less than *wow* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shilakadaddy 0 Posted August 9, 2004 :shock: :shock: :shock: love it!! Gotta see more of that interior, looks very very nice indeed! Also been thinking about doing the whole removal of boot lights myself, but havn't seen it done all that often so wasn't sure how it would look, but I love that too! Do those clusters have fog lights in them? if not, doesn't it make it non road legal? a problem I was thinking how to get around... Worth the wait :mrgreen: Edit: Just noticed, where's ur glove box? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
