These are much wider in comparison! Look really good!best I can do for now chap but you can see they are a lot wider, i'd say the end of the front door s4 blade is as wide as the end of the rear door s-line blade, and the rear s4 door blade at least double the width of the same s-line blade.

Then I just went for it.
Another project, sounds interesting ?.. u gona hang onto the old girl though?fitted the re-refurbed alloys today, quick wash and shampoo , tightened up the s4 blades and that's about it.
I think that's about it now for mods to the old bus, I was going to fit my hofele rs4 bumper aswell this weekend but not going to bother with it .
very happy with the way it goes and looks now, time to channel funds to another project just as worthy as the old bus.

Fitted my brand spanking new centre armrest cover. The latch was broken when I bought the car and I’ve super glued the hinges more times than I care to remember. 12 quid, smashing.

Yeah its cheap enough to just tick of the list!I think its more a case of the rapid & excessive wear issues have been reduced considerably compared to previous setups , the item will and does still wear due to the nature of the part and how it works etc but the lifespan has increased, at 100k then its allways going to be prudent to check and replace it really, cheap part and easy to replace = no reason to avoid doing the fix.
So, the car developed turbo flutter (off boost compressor surge) when I was on my way back from solcombe a few weeks ago.
This prompted me to finally change my DV. The valve which came off was Rev G. When I pulled the wiring harness off oil squirted out!
Got a Forge recirculating valve on now and the car is running like a dream. Pulls a little better and less lag between changes. Think my original DV had been failing for some time.

Good stuff bud, whens the new turbo finding its way under the bonnet?Fitted my APR HPFP and new cam follower yesterday. Simple swap, no dramas. Next to no wear on the old follower, although I suspect it has been changed before. I think my stock pump was not far off failure either. I can physically move the piston back and forth with my finger!
There was a slight hesitation in the throttle with the old pump on the car. This has now disappeared.

Also, there must be some sort of event on near Bristol today. Went to asda this morning in Cribbs Causeway and there was 15-20 kitted/tuned cars there that all set off together.
Do people on here ever attend any events?
