    A4 Dipped beam bulb replacement.

    Hello. When i replaced my headlight bulbs i removed the whole cluster. There is 3 torx head on the top (the easy ones) and one at the back of the cluster (extension needed) To ensure you get the lights aligned when refitting i suggest you mark up the position of the screws before you start.

    rs4 Alloys

    I have just got a set of RS4 alloys for my A3. On trying to fit them i discovered the holes do not align The friend i got them off has a A6, so i am presuming the A6/A8 are different than the A3/A4/TT fitment. Is there any way to adapt the hub with maybe a spacer or is it a lost cause?

    Coilovers or springs and Dampers on an 1.8T

    I think this has been covered before and from what i recoil coilovers are a bit to specialised for road use. they are designed for the track and although they look good and sound good when at pub you will never gain the advantages that coilovers offer when driving on the road. Plus they are...

    Dual outlet exhaust system

    If you are going to make it from a existing exhaust you will have to cut into the 'front' side of the box and feed a pipe through the inside of the box about 2/3 of way through. it will be trial and error to make the gasses flow through both tailpipes the same! OR Sebring make them for about £350
