Presume the OZ are for serious driving, track etc...? - I can't ask are they for winter as those tyres don't look like they have traction limiting surfaces in mind :laugh: :laugh: :grin:
I would kill for that cup holder and arm rest/hbrake arrangement... :sad1: F**ing Audi n0bsh*tes :fighting:

I said I sold the wheels and (the Vredestein) tyres to friendly cheaply.. OZs are my normal wheels at the moment I can't be arsed with the faff of 2 sets of expensive wheels.
I don't bother with winters :grin: as Rich said the only reason I got the setup was that the Dunlop tyres are £260 quid each and I paid a lot lot less than that :popcornsoda:
Can't wait to get new Pmu pads and the harnesses on in March.. :party: :party:

So I had a holiday :D
car got a bit dirty.. but did over 1000 miles no issues averaged 48mpg on the lovely twisty roads around devon and cornwall, very much enjoyed the driving.
later this week i am getting the wheels refurbished and giving it a polish and protection coating with my mate (we are going to do both our cars)

Yours looks lovely with all that shine. Mine needs the same treatment after a track day and rain while travelling there.

worth it for the time and then it makes it easier to clean in the long run :party: :party:
So I did get everything i needed to have done at the weekend.
Car up on stands while the wheels were off being refurbished by Silver Wheels in Bournemouth. I've used Marcus before for 2 sets of wheels prior to this and each time I've been happy and he's a really nice guy and the dog is lovely so always worth the trip.
My friend and I were going to use TWS in Farnbruv as it's closer but they messed us around so thought fk it.

Everything got cleaned underneath. arches, suspension components etc.
No doubt all dirty again by now.
Roadtrip in the TFSI pissrat to collect them

Giving the car a bit of a polish, nothing too heavy as it wasn't that bad before to be honest.

No decent before and afters as a) it wasn't that bad and b) relatively tight working space and time meant no time for 50/50s and before and afters etc.
