There are a large number of motorists for whom tuned models of cars of the last century are closer to the heart than modern models. And buying a car for themselves, they choose a car of past years, neglecting modern
developments in the automotive industry, with the idea of its subsequent tuning. The
Audi 80 also belongs to such models
, popularly called the “barrel”, the last copy of which came off the assembly line in 1996. But even now, many of them travel along the roads of the world.
Tuning an Audi 80 is technically quite simple. Everything you need for this can be found in retail outlets. The majority of car owners who are “familiar” with wrenches and have a developed imagination will be able to make tuning Audi 80 with their own hands, transforming even the oldest car.
This manipulation is divided into external and internal. The external tuning of the Audi 80 includes the design of the body and headlights, and the internal - hauling the interior, replacing or updating seats and the instrument panel.
You can improve the body design by making a circular body kit, changing the bumper, putting mud flaps or difflectors, installing a spoiler and parking sensors. You can still decorate the car with airbrushing, but this is not for everybody, and indeed - the field of activity for the design of the car, making the Audi 80 tuning, is unlimited.
As for the headlights, the LED technology and xenon can improve the headlights, giving them a second life. We describe in more detail. Everything is extremely simple. After removing the headlamp with wiring, fasteners and gaskets, the glass is separated from it with the help of a building hair dryer, releasing the latches fastening the glass. By degreasing the headlight reflector with gasoline or thinner, it is coated with a matte varnish in several layers. On places not subject to varnishing, pieces of adhesive tape are glued, which are removed after the varnish dries. Then, xenon modules are installed to convert the look and light of the dimensions, for which, having measured the circumference of the xenon module, a diode tape is fixed on it with sealant, cut off according to the made measurement. After that, the headlamp is assembled and installed in place.
It is also easy to make tuning of the Audi 80 interior. First you need to decide on the choice of material for the interior trim. The choice in the distribution network is great: Alcantra, velor, leatherette, leather, etc. - the difference is only in price. You can also combine materials that will further decorate the interior. Then, having removed the old interior trim, use it to cut new material and stitch it. After that, carefully mount the new skin, giving the interior a fresh and new look. The same thing must be done with the doors of the car.
If you see no reason to change the seats in the cabin, then you can insert latex inserts, which will give the seats originality and novelty.
To update the instrument panel, it is necessary to disassemble it, scan the scales using a scanner, and using a computer and printer, print new scales on thin, transparent plastic. By adding your chosen color filters, you need to assemble the dashboard.
With the glut of the modern market for auto parts, the car owner has great opportunities to make tuning the Audi 80, for this you just need to have a desire and spend a certain amount on spare parts, but you already understood that it is not so difficult to do it yourself.
