Re: Standard Speaker Specification

I find the standard speakers to be very good - The front to rear seperation is quite good on the doorcards because of the rubber seals that fit snuggly to the edge of the speakers. Also there components - I'd be sceptical of replacing them with 2 or 3 way speakers as that moves the tweeter away from...

Re: Which registration to get?

Personally I'd go for P1 VAG - leaves the option open for the next car. In case you get an Audi, seat or skoda :wink:

I've got a DUB plate - can see it in my sig. Was nice and cheap at £250 - its short too only being a 6 character including a figure 1

Re: Tyre Woes

MOT will just check the condition of the tyres not the actual size - maybe check they are the same size on each side but thats as far as I think they'd check.

Fair play to them sorting you out with the new set - nice to see a company own up and set things straight !

Hi all, is it possible to run the standard 6 disk changer when I fit my Kenwood headunit ? I've seen plenty of links on the web for fitting aftermarket changers to standard head units but cant find anything for the other way around :roll: Cant find any adapters etc. If not I can always hook up the i...

Re: how low can u go?

On the front that is, on the rear you cant go very low - only because of the size of the springs I've got are a bit too big (FK Sportlines) To get mine as low as I'd like I've removed the adjusters and also the rubber top hats so its...

Re: I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Gotta say to anyone using a Chamois leather to dry their car - Get a proper car drying towel

I'll never go back - quicker, no streaks and much nicer finish - also kinder to the paint.
