  according to my etka here at work the part number for the fenders are different. might just be something minor though. unfortunatly the pictures aren't good enough to tell what the difference is. my guess is that it might have to do with the extra reinforcement required for the convertibles. i wouldn't see why you couldn't though.

  my guess is that the engine would be too long. the audi have (had) longitudal engines, begetting different transmission. you'd have to end up moving the latidual transmission to the drivers-side about 6". though if someone HAS managed to do this, i'd be very interested to see pics.
