Hi guys! Time for a new chop from me. This time I chopped a 1988 Audi Coupè, because I wanted to make a tribute to the Audi S1

Over to the history lesson kids :
The Audi Sport Quattro S1 was introduced at the end of 1984 as an update to the Audi Sport Quattro. The car featured a inline 5-cylinder engine that displaced 2,110 cc (128.8 cu in) and produced an officially quoted figure of 350 kW (480 PS; 470 bhp). However, the turbocharger utilised a recirculating air system, with the aim of keeping the turbo spinning at high rpm, when the driver closed the throttle, either to back off during cornering, or on gearshifts. This allowed the engine to resume full power immediately after the resumption of full throttle, reducing turbo lag. The actual power figure was in excess of 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) at 8000 rpm.
In addition to the improved power output, an aggressive aerodynamic kit was added that featured very distinctive wings and spoilers to the front and rear of the car to increase downforce. The weight was lightened to just 1,090 kg (2,403 lb), and now accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.1 seconds. Some of the cars were supplied with a "power-shift gearbox", which is said to be a forerunner of today's Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) technology.
The S1 proved to be an immediate success in the rally circuit, helping Walter Röhrland Christian Geistdörfer win the 1985 San Remo Rally. A modified version of the S1, was also driven by Michèle Mouton. The S1 evolution would become the final Group B car produced by Audi, with the works team withdrawing from the Championship following the 1986 rally in Portugal.
Twenty years after the cancellation of Group B, the Sport Quattro S1 was still widely regarded as the most powerful rally car ever fielded in international competition, with the final factory machines of 1986 rated at an incredible 441 kW (600 PS; 591 bhp). In addition to Group B competition, the S1 won the 1985 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with Michèle Mouton in the driving seat, setting a world record time in the process. This victory was repeated in 1987, this time at the hands of Walter Röhrl.

This is how the original S1 looked like:

Well, enough facts. Let's get over to the chop I have always loved the Audi Coupè's, and espesially the S1. So i decided to chop one. I didn't want the chop to be a replica, but more of a modern S1. So I made a bodykit with some softer edges to make it look more modern. But during the chopping, I kept in my mind that it was a S1, so made it kind of "rallyish" with the mudflaps, the white rims etc.. Originally I planned to paint it in the Audi colors, with some sponsors to make it look more like a rallycar. But then I came over the background I used, and fell in love with it. And I felt that the light setting went so well with the car, so didn't want to ruin it. Well, could have written much more, but by now, you'r probably tired of reading

So here is the chop Hope you guys like it!

Chop:

being an huge rallyfan here, i appreciate the effort etc...
but there is few problems, especially with the shading and lighting of the car like rims etc
same parts looks more dirty white than grey too
but overall it is ok, could been done more carefully though

agreed with nordic
but great effort and it's realy still nice to see
more of this style of chops please

Very nice idea and really cool background.
But the car is so toony that it destroys much of the good picture. Nordic man told the mistakes in it.
