Pearl white I think.Great f*cking work!What colour wrap are you going for again?
Took us good few labour hours I must admit. We wanted to make it as good as possible so the little things took us most of the time. It looks amazing at the moment, just needs few things done, a good wrap and mission accomplished.
It's a lot more complicated than I expected but when you're dealing with an experienced mechanic, it is not "Mission Impossible".
How you gonna make wrap stick to filler ?? And even if you
Prime the filler wrap still won't stick all
That well .. I won't paint over using a wrap 3 years down the line the wrap will look **** and will need redoing

Not sure but from what they told me is that they are going to drop one coat of clear lacquer on the new elements and filler. Vinyl will stick to it.

Looks really good was wondering did you use a cabriolet front panel or any b7 front panel. Im in the process of doing the conversion. I have the bonnet and wings already.
EEX_4503 - I used bodypanels.com, and found the correct Slam panel for the Cabrio. Although, they are pretty much all the same for Cabrio and Saloon, the only difference is the engine types.
Example 1.8 petrol needs a 1.8 petrol slam panel
2.5 tdi needs a 3.0 tdi slam panel etc etc
U fortunately not - however I found a brilliant wiring diagram, allowing me to change the pins from B6-B7.
The connectors are the same, but the wiring order is very different.
GREAT conversion Taff! Welcome to the forum mate.
I'll be doing this conversion probably next year when I tune my engine a little first. (1.8t)
To finish off 'the look' i'd probably get the b7 cabriolet rear valance to match. As you've got the non s-line kit bumper i'd go for this b7 cab rear valance (below)

But again...GREAT f*cking work on converting your car!
Cheers DrStrange!
Yes rear valance is definitely on my to do list, which looks like:
• red roof and interior leather red
• black dashboard / door cards
• rear valance (carbon fibre)
• engine cover (custom carbon f)
• cummins injector nozzles
• up rated turbo
• EGR Blank
• custom remap
And that's it..... For now
Awesome!

Thanks for the heads up, I will most certainly be giving him a shout
Cheers again!
Hey Guys, it's been a long time. Wow, I can see the thread really picked up. I haven't had much time lately with a new job and commitments so I delayed the conversion a bit. The car is now back in the bodyshop and I'm hoping to get it resprayed by the end of the weekend. I've been thinking about a full respray vs. body wrap and came to a point where I decided to get a complete respray in original audi black. I'll post some pics up soon.

Nice to hear all still on track with the conversion mate. Was starting to think things had gone wrong and you'd moved on to something else. As always we are all looking forward to more updates, pics and the end result. Good luck and keep up the good work.
I think I went too far with it now. Don't want to drop the project now. Still thinking on these aftermarket headlights though. I actually prefer the original xenon look I think.
