Oh and I have Concert II if that helps!

Guys, I have noticed a few threads about the Phatnoise system, however, I have been unable to find the answer to a few specific questions. 1. I want to put one in my 04, A3. I have no CD changer currently - I believe I need to purchase a lead? 2. Are there different versions of the system? I...

Hi mate, I checked our system today and also had a word with the spraypainter. Basically, he said Halfords etc do not give an exact match. It is very difficult to get an exact match, as it depends on the formulation in the factory, and how much paint is used on the car - this can vary in each...

Oh yeah I know the place you mean. Thats a bit of a nightmare mate, reckon I would maybe make the same mistake to be honest. Hope it works out ok. Steve

Foolish, Do you mind if I ask you a simple question mate? Just wondering what the main benefits are for me to send my A3 to the main dealer rather than using the mechanic who works for us? Will I get anything extra by using the Audi service, obviously we can source the genuine parts from Audi...

What road did you get caught on in Edinburgh mate?

Sorry, dont really know any bodyshops down South. We are only an independent in Edinburgh so we dont really have any connections at all. I guess you just need to put a word around and find out a good place.

I dont really know the true explanation mate, it gets complicated. I think it comes down to different productions runs etc. You would not notice it if you compared two cars of the same colour, but when you put a different tone on a car, its quite noticeable. I remember a few weeks ago, we had...

Still though - the manufacturers code does not been that the match will be correct. Ive got the same colour of car as you. If I remember, Ill look at our mixing data on Monday when I am in work. It is most likely that there will be about 3/4 different variations of the mauritaus blue factory...

So I guess I was trying to say get the professional in if you want the job done right

Just because it is a standard factory colour does not necessarily mean it will match. My family runs a bodyshop, and each factory colour may still have 2/3 different tones, which will only be matched by a good spray painter if that helps.

Just out of interest... Whats better? Im assuming higher since they can add things to the standards?

Is there a difference in the wheel quality from different suppliers? ie to Rochford supply a different replica from other suppliers? If that makes sense? Im just not sure who actually manufacturers all the different replicas. Cheers, Steve P.S Jeff the mighty Hearts are getting closer to...

Thats the attitude I like! Rochford my best bet?

Guys, Im a bit unsure what to do... Just noticed that I had a nice big nail sitting in one of my rear tyres, which has obviously now gone flat. My front tyres are both sitting at around 3.5m. Should I take this as a sign to finally change my wheels, which I have wanted to do for a long time...
