lets just hope they dont make an example of her, it has been all over the news lately & breakfast telly too, they are saying even handsfree should be banned, i think its more dangerous when people eat,drink or smoke whilst driving, that should be addressed not banning handsfree kits really?? i ...

I'm real happy with them....a nice subtle mod The bases came in 3 pieces, the 3rd being the bottom part of the actual mirror housing. I've not looked closely at the face lift ones, but i don't think this piece would fit with the indicators. like anything they could be made to fit, but don't think it...

My rear lights suffer from the common condensation problem. I've been keeping an eye out for some replacement units. I was toying with the b5 light swap, but it's becoming quite common now. So when zagatoes80 advertised he was breaking his W8 I decided to go down that route to be slightly different,...

It's hard to tell from a photo, but that looks a pretty similar tint to my factory ones ;)

I really like these...and the brabus roadster. really quirky cars.
Are these based on a mitsi colt?

Bigray had some carbon fibre skinned mirror bases up for sale...so after a few messages we struck a deal, they had never been fitted to his car. I fitted the passenger side to see how they fitted...It was good but not perfect http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/temporary_zps04fc8f9b.j...

Finally got a bit of time to update this. Nothing major has happened. I've organised a double garage not far from my house that I can use to do all the major stuff over the winter. so she'll be staying standard height for winter. I fitted some chrome side repeaters that i'd forgotten I'd ordered. be...

Nice looking wagon mate...i think i have some photos from gathering.
that rear fitment is spot on....nice and flush

Great colour choice
some great mods there....i'm really jealous of your recaros too.

Realistically I'd like a b5 s4 avant or an rs4. Money no object it'd be a new rs6. Although I'm 35 and have no kids or dogs i still wouldn't be without an estate lol..
when i get a garage/workshop I'll build a red top 2door nova saloon, just for sh#ts and giggles....it's a long story

They look great mate. You won't have any trouble finding your car in the snow now lol.

I've finally got broadband back after nearly 7weeks...not having it has been a pita, but dealing with AOL, bt and openreach have been a total nightmare. But i won't bang on about that on here, but that's why i haven't updated this. Little bits and pieces have been done, so I'll have some updates soon.

Gave Das Wagon a pre winter clean over the weekend. pre soak with hose washed with megs shampoo...2 bucket method with dodo juice mit. rinsed with hose. clay barred with megs clay bar rinsed with hose. then today... went over with ag tar remover washed again with megs shampoo...2 bucket method rinse...

A couple of weeks back the light didn't work on my clima unit. Completed the journey without it, but was a complete pita as like you say you can't see a thing on the unit. Fortunately when i came home about half hour later the unit lit up and was working as normal :-? sorry i can't help with a fix t...

I've got my tv and phone line with sky...all in £72 pm with sports and HD but no movies.... It's more than I'd like to pay, but if like me you like football, boxing, f1 and just sport in general, i don't think there is an alternative. The sky box and interface is by far the best out there. I've loo...

Rapid progress there mate... Really like the way you're heading with this

I was in a similar situation to yourself and ended up buying a similar sort of Starter' kit...10months on and i have a bigger tool box for detailing than i do for tools lol. Be warned it gets addictive.
Great results from your first attempt too

They could be a stunning set of wheels with a bit of work.
I'd start with some nasty industrial paint stripper first to get the original coating off. Then you can better assess the metal to see what grade grit to start with. You don't want to do any more sanding than you have to

Awesome mods! Interior looks great. I am not sure about the wheels, maybe I need more time ;) Your whole interior will be from non b5.5.. no1 else will have one like it.... Sorry mate - too late. There is already few b5.5 with interiors from B6 and CC in Europe. haha...you are correct in a sense......

Coming along nicely now mate, gonna look the dogs danglies with that interior fitted.
are they b6 rear seats?? Your whole interior will be from non b5.5..
no1 else will have one like it....i love unique mods

Love it.... really nice clean looking wagon...the rims really suit it..what are they.
looks like some stunning scenery over there...the perfect backdrop for photo shoots.

Good luck with the business venture...hope it's going well.

No probs mate...i've been keeping an eye out for one..saw a b7 rs4 one on ebay...6 speed same fitment but it went for £67 so I'm still looking lol.
