MK1 TT 225 Nogaro Blue

Nice car.
Seats will be nice. Although again no adjustment in support. I find mine very comfortable for 450 miles in one day.

Thanks, I slouch and I find the poles prevent that. Not so great for short trips about though!

Really nice car. I wouldn't expect those Compomotives to suit it, but they really look great.

I never thought I'd be so enthusiastic about a TT!

Thanks, I'm suprising myself to be honest with this car, I remember the 18 year old me chasing the first TTs down with disgust in my Citroen of the time

Love the seats, are you going to delete the rears or leave them in situ? As I assume you can't get anyone in the back anymore if they have no tilt/slide?

I'm still loving my Mk1 TT, not done any mods yet though

They are on runners and slide forward
The rear seats are still as useless as they are with standard seats. I'm not going to delete them tho as all the diy jobs look awful and the kit seems to go for 1k plus when available. No thanks!

Excellent looking TT.

The wheels and seats look excellent. Far more sporting Coupe like it should be!

Seats look great - they're one of the main reasons I've always wanted a TTQS

Wise choice

Well it's been dry ish and I've had an hour free.
So thought I'd set about removing the 16kg counterweight / harmonic damper / whateveritisidontwantit, part of audis after thought after the original tt's were thought to be to lively.

Will give me a good chance to clean behind there too

Everything was free and easy, for a 16 year old car I was quite pleased





Nice narrow plastic sleeves wheel sockets were a xmas present










Bumper off, bit dirty





Bumper support off showing the 16kg weight








Everything off ready for a clean, probably will be tomorrow now as ran out of time

Cleaned and re assembled (without the 16kg chassis damper )

Lovely car. Will be interesting to see if you notice a difference without the weight.

Have you told your insurance firm about removing it? Given that the weight was installed by Audi as a safety measure I would have thought some firms might not be too happy.

no he won't feel it and of course he won't have told insurers about it just like you probably don't tell your insurers if you lose a stone in weight or fit budget/part worn tyres to your car.

I really, really like this.

Wheels, centre caps, paint colour, everything.

You've got me lusting after a TT now!!

[Podie]

Looks great!

Dare I ask what a 2 day detail costs...?

sounds ridiculous i know but with the time, and the cost of the products used (that i couldnt buy for 300) and it starts to make sense

thats if you care about paint work lol
