    Getting there slowly, and its worth remembering that there is a difference between reps and originals, one set the spokes sit in and one set they sit out. Makes a difference to the end look etc (think also that the originals might be wider)

      Genuine RS4 rims run a 255 tyre so way to wide for a Avant without major arch work.plus they have a 25et. I've had RS4 reps on mine for around 18 months and they haven't misshaped at all. But I've got another set of wheels going on very shortly which are genuine items.
      Just some finishing touches to do now

                    New wheels sorted today from S2Ian, nice to meet you mate

                    Will hopefully get them on in the week, but might wait until its lowered, parcel tracking is saying my H&R's are sitting in Birmingham DPD hub, so hopefully will get them tomorrow!

                      Missed a lot of forum time lately.
                      Welcome back mate

                      Car looks stunning, such a nice colour Ruby Red

                      What wheels have you gone for? (sorry if I've missed that somewhere)

                        @Dest, the silicone hose you have on your car, is that the one that is prone to leaking?

                          Any boost or vacuum hose is a potential leak waiting to happen! Get them all replaced with silicon ones if possible, im hoping to have a set of roose ones on there soon

                                Done the "Andy G" mod today

                                Before... the nasty plastic numberplate surround, which Ive always had a pet hate for!



                                19 years of crap, I wondered if there would be some shine to be found under there
                                A lot of elbow grease later, and things are looking good!







                                The pics were taken at a low angle, so you can see the numberplate lights, I might paint them black so they are hidden a bit better, but at normal viewing level you cant see them anyway.

                                Cost of mod: £2 for some new sticky pads
