due to some so and so hitting my front bumper in a car park, im going to change the front of the 8L
As its £300 for a whole bumper, i saw a good kit on ebay and seems to have good feedback as well as a good following in germany. this is the front bumper.
here
was also going to add these under it as my car has never had fog lights
as im getting the whole bumper taken off for spraying, is it worth me doing a intercooler now?
Car is remapped to 200bhp ( so i was told by the owner and seem history is on this site)
is there any good models that wont need much chopping to put in ? budget is £100-£150 ish
btw
anyone used or had that kit fitted?
also i have 18inch merc wheels on the car and never been told the offset. I have 15 or 20mm spaces on car all round and takes it (told by old owner) from 5x100 to 5x112
google says a 1999 a3 1.8 T should have a offset of et38? so if i wanted to get rid of spacers and get new wheels ( same wide) what would i do?
