    1.5 years ago, I gave me beloved 2002 225 TT roadster to my 16 year old daughter...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Last month she hit a parked car in a shopping mall parking lot! Don't ask I really don't know... Anyway, she left a note on the Cadillac XT6 that she hit (the girl was raised right!) and now trying to get my, her car put back together.

    Audi has started discontinuing OE parts for the MK1 TT, so it's getting difficult to find parts. I have lots of TT quattro sport parts on the car and the parts are just not readily available. The S-line bumper skin is no longer available from Audi so you just have to do the standard BC. I also had the Phantom Blace grille from the TT quattro sport can't find it.

    So I decided to go a different route, actually one I'd thought about long ago. The Rieger "single-frame conversion. So here we go. The Rieger pieces are of excellent quality made in Germany and are not fiberglass. You need to fit the Grille from the D3 A8/S8 to make it work. I chose the S8 platinum gray, but after ordering, I found out the gray filler trim piece is NLA from Audi. We are supposed to sport a front license plate, but I hate them so I don't. I reached out to Alex from Europrice for help and he was able to find the gray filler piece through Audi vintage/tradition parts in Germany. Can you hear the cash register ringing?

    I'm a little nostalgic about modding it from the iconic original. :-( But, she'll just crash it up anyway...


    16th Birthday gift


    one year later (she doesn't drive it in winter)


    The Transformation begins... yes the S8 badge on the grille goes away.

    Yea, the things we do for our children, sometimes I wonder if they truly appreciate it or do they just expect it?

    Not quite finished yet, but my daughter is going to destroy this car... the filler piece is temporary, it's black, not "S" platinum gray. Alex at Europrice sourced the gray from Audi vintage/heritage parts in Germany.

    Here you go... eventually had to remove the cupra seat lip, it was just too low for my daughter.
