I'm still waiting for my car! Speaking with the garage, there's been a delay due to the wrong lower bumper being ordered which meant the fog lights don't fit. They've ordered a different one which is on back order.

I was also told that the fog light grilles are obsolete but can't remember if that's the early two part facelift or late one piece facelift ones. Mine has the two part ones.

I thought I read somewhere that Audi will make parts for these cars for 20 years after the last one leaves the production line. Is that not the case or is it only certain parts?

It felt quite strange driving a D2 again, but so nice to have some power

Great news Pete.
Only problem is that in a very few short years you will lose it to your growing little person
