agree about the windscreen.  but afaik, the doors are the same.  i'm sure
that they were not changed for the sport.  afaik about the only body panel
which wasn't.  (obviously the a-pillar on the doors has changed, but the
length hasn't).  pretty sure that the c-pillar hasn't changed either.  time
to look up the lewandowski (sp?) book and compare photos with the audi
driver article.

anyone know different?

	The problem with the dialynx ur-q conversion is that the proportions
	are wrong. There are too many subtle differences between the ur-q
	and the sport, so you just can't cut 320mm from the rear seats
	and have it look like a sport q. The angle of the windshield isn't 
	correct, the doors are too long, the angles of the C pillar aren't 
	correct, etc.
