    Alloy Wheels - Will They Fit?

    Cant remember to be honest. Et35 sounds familiar. Surely all oem rs6 18" offsets are the same? My current 245's are et50 and sits nicely in the arches. I cant remember the rs6 wheels poking out of the arches, i think they were perfectly flush with the arch.

    Alloy Wheels - Will They Fit?

    I ran oem rs6 alloys on my a3 sportback and had a bit of rub on the rear. There is a screw head in both arches causing most of the rubbing so just take them out and you wont notice it unless you have a full car. They should just bolt straight on. Im now running rs4 245/40/18's on my 2007 a3 and...

    What's everyone's feeling about these on a black 1.8t?

    Its certainly different and i think i like it! I had bright orange alloys on my sportback and not many liked them, but i did so i didnt take much notice really

    Vehicle wrapping - your thoughts?

    Not everyone is able to afford a new car and sometimes the type or spec of car is hard to find second hand in the right colour. For example, on auotrader last time i looked there were only four white A4 convertables and they were all prices at least £3k more just for being white and sought after...

    Vehicle wrapping - your thoughts?

    There are a lot of companies out there now attempting full wraps without the necessary experience, or cutting corners to save money. A good wrap will be seemless and the only way of knowing its a wrap will be to left the bonnet to see the colour of the engine bay. Surprised that someone takes a...

    To be honest it depends on how much the customer wants to pay to be honest. Its possible to do a wrap with minimal removal but will mean that it wont be a perfect job, but will cost less. On a decent budget i would look to remove lights, badges, door handles, grills etc, but i do offer this to...

    For roof and bonnet in black we would do this for £225, cheaper than a paint job ;)

    Sorry, misread your post. Thought you were referring to the actual installation process. There is nothing special involved with cleaning a wrapped car but would avoid heavy pressure washers though like Big_Dave said

    245/18 rs4 tyres on a3 sportback

    Ive taken the screws out and trimmed the plastic behind it and has made it much better. Just need to have a go at the inner arches then! The alloys and tyres came off a rs4. Bargain at £400 for oem and new tyres!

    Chrome is a pain, and doesnt last. Ive only done a bonnet of a merc and quite pleased i havent had to do another one. Love the carbon fibre though!

    Vehicle wrapping - your thoughts?

    A good wrap will have a life of 5-7 years, and the majority of the time is spent cleaning the vehicle to within an inch of its life with the vinyl manufacturer's prepping agent. Without this, its not going to last. It covers scratches really well, bit stone chips will look like little dimples...

    On a convertable in matt or gloss colours your looking at £700-800 for a full wrap. I am fortunate not to have the heavy overheads of some of the larger companies so we can be more competitively priced.

    245/18 rs4 tyres on a3 sportback

    They are 245/40/18s. I know its a bit excessive but couldnt help myself. The main reason i bought them was because the have near new tyres. Im not sure about the rim width but i know they have an offset of et50! With one passenger they are fine, suprisingly. Its only when i have a couple in the...
