    B7 front end on a B6 cab

Thats about it... It is worth doing if you...

    RS4 Wheels

    Well if you have the 17" sports wheels then yea, RS4's a good look. I was thinking RS4's on my b6 cabriolet, but I already have the 18" s-line wheels (i think they're called RS6s), so couldn't justify the cost... you already have the wheels now so go for it... You say you have a TDi Sport...

    Need advice on trying to sell a car (talking to potential buyers)

    Hi guys, I am good at selling, but I don't want to try to sell the car, the car should sell itself (if I don't get what I want for it, then i'm happy to hold on to it). The problem is (with nationwide adverts), I get people calling from out of the midlands. With these people I am very clear...

    clunk clunk sounds in my 2.5TDi :( - Tensioner??

    3rd Cheapest Diesel Cabriolet on there and cheapest by far when looking at mileage (similar mileage to mine are over a grand more).

    clunk clunk sounds in my 2.5TDi :( - Tensioner??

    Yup, completely agree.... but it IS resale time, i wanted it gone by end of the week, as long as the offer was acceptable... It all just comes down to cost (as thats the only effect it will have on me as the car is going)... I can get local garage to do it... fraction of the cost, I would be...
