UKPassats

about 200 quid for a garage to fit a set roughly

start spraying the pinch bolt now in wd40/plusgas etc

not done it myself, but i'd imagine vinyl is the best way, as if you dont like it at least its reversable

If so how do you find z5 with a wipe over with z6 between each coat for repelling dirt? I like the gloss its given me, (z7,clay,zpc,z5,,z,z5,z6,z6) but within 24 hours the dust its attracted is disproportionate to the amount i've picked up using waxes, is this a sealant thing (doesn't happen with fk...

hhhmmmm, i'm not 100 percent tbh, maybe with the lowers colour coded they'll work. But for me they don't at the mo sorry. Another a6 fan here, them and rowan's oz's are the only wheels i'd get a new set of wheels for that i can think of. :ymapplause: ^:)^ B-) maybe some ch reps... 4000 grit abralon ...

selection of brushes, tub of elbow grease, claybar, polish and protect the wheels apc will remove some of the marks btw, but not sure if it would be ok on polish wheels/lips wd40 is good but silicone/ptftefdtees heavy, which means any protection after wont stick. might be ok to layer on top of wheel...

and the eagle eyed of you can see the effect the black a,b and c pillars have

gave the car a good going over, first proper one since november 16th! the fk1000p served it well, but it needed a freshen up so thought i'd try the zaino stuff i've got for now. washed with z7 shampoo detarred, clayed washed with z7 zaino pc paint cleaner zaino z5 show polish x2 zaino z6 in between ...

should fit without the spacers, but may be close to the struts on the inside of the wheel, definately go for 225/40/18 just to be safe

also depends on how low you go as to tyre choice, i've got 235/35/19s on a 8x19 et35 and it doesn't rub on the back.

didn't rub either on 225/40/18s et35 either at the same ride height i've got now

whats the offset of them, the et?

i'd go 225/40/18 and then you can gp as low as you want

how do you tell if it is? that said i've loads of thread left at the front :oops: , don't think the rear will go low enough on my joms tbh. speculatively of course as i dont know how low i could actually go before it looked stupid/became undriveable (sorry anyone too low) my neighbours are lucky i d...

i'd want to keep it running matching spacers all round, otherwise wouldn't it spaz the 4wd gubbins out?

might be blabbering garbage mind.

the c spanner that comes with them is pitiful.

mine squeak a bit, but rides ok. First set of coilovers so nothing to compare to.

i could get my hands to the wire, and just touch the plug, but not enough to squeeze it to pull the bulb out, and its a lot more money than i have if i broke anything so didnt want to get as slap happy had i would of had it been my own. 2 security bits and the liner will bend enough, my little bro h...

still i feel an idiot getting you to come all the way over for nothing. Nice to meet you though, and i really do like your wheels

it is quite a nice sticker, expensive seeing as you need air to have it though :hyst you thought about having the airland slanted as if one end is lowered, one is raised with the custom made suspension staying flat but shrinking down underneath the top bit to suit. Purely constructively i mean. it l...

something wrong with the pipes, bunged, split or loose most likely.

thats where i'd start, dont worry about how it goes, worry about how it stops

do you have a picture of both your cars from the back showing the difference between the lights

looks lovely, bar those front lights sorry

i got a lead that plugs into the back of the gamma.

says is-312 iso radio plug on the wrapper, got it off ebay a while ago

they beat me didn't have the right security/torx bits to go from archliner,

so i think he might still want a hand

sorry mate

that colour is starting to grow on me more and more

Ant, its you're site don't you know how the search works

let us know how hard this is, as its something i'd like to get round to eventually

He's not that wrong

i can't see it being to hard mate, will give it a go for you.

I'm in mangotsfield

have you clayed the car before? that's where i'd start, then a better polish/paint cleaner
