Haha, that’s like one of the 2 options mine doesn’t have

The 272 doesn’t have the gearbox problem as it uses the ZF gearbox and not the S Tronic, if you’re anywhere near Bristol, I could be tempted to sell my 272 A4, it’s not get used much anymore

Fitted and worked perfectly

I’ve taken a bit of a punt on the Bentley buttons, not really researched them, but look exactly the same but better quality: https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/switches/oem-36a953509c-multifunction-switches-buttons-bentley/#prettyPhoto

I should have a used set for the round steering wheel soon, replacing mines with a set out of a Bentley, if anyone wants a set let me know

Lol, always the way, to be fair a Costco membership maybe £15, it’s the £200 you spend on every visit that gets you :tearsofjoy: so probably better not to have it Which tyres did you get from black circles?

I’d login an get the Bridgestones today, price drop plus discount, £311!!!! Had to upload the image in 2 goes, I would move quick on these.

Have you got Costco membership, currently Bridgestone in the same size with AO are £114 fitted and you get £70 off for a set of 4, bargain IMO, I’ve had both the Goodyear’s and bridgestones in run flats, and the Goodyear’s were better mostly down to noise, but the bridgestones lasted forever

Is yours a Quattro? If so I would go 4 new tyres, if not Quattro, it depends on which of the tyres are good, if it’s the continentals I would stick those on the back, and then get 2 new on the front. I am pretty risk adverse, others may not worry that the tread pattern is different

The 2nd one is the older shape, so those alloys will have a different offset, I would stick with the same generation and get the right offset. It also sits lower. I think a set of rotors could look quite nice: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201903246211197 I actually like the...

Has your Avant got the black pack? I think the amount of chrome and ride height would dictate which wheels to go for.

They are Kerbed, but doesn’t look like any major chunks have been taken out of them. I wouldn’t expect them to be buckled based on experience/gut.

Little weird that they have 3 different brands of tyres, if going on a quattto I would replace all 4 with same, or at very least have the same on each axel with the similar tread levels. If these are your first set of diamond cut alloys, be aware they do corrode in the UK, it’s a case of when...

Ebay, not got around to fitting them yet, will throw some pics up once I have

Don’t go replica, every replica I have had cracks or distorts after a couple of years, get OEM, even 2nd hand off eBay is much better, I got the 19 V’s fully refurbished for 600, I doubt a full set of replica would be much cheaper
