    Exhaust options on a TDI Quattro? Is there any?

    Kwik Fit - Deceptive Thieving Staff .......

    My dad took his car in (not at Kwik Fit) for a tyre replacement and they nicked his spare wheel, the wheel was there when he took it in, but it wasn't there when he collected it. There was nothing he could do about it as they denied it and there was no proof, scumbags!!!

    looking for a how to thread - noisy fan blower

    Replace the blower, that's what I did, you can get them from ebay for a reasonable price, only go for a new genuine one though.

    Danny Dyer

    He’s a total tw@t, it’s all front and a loud mouth that spouts nothing but rubbish, wouldn’t dislike him so much if he stuck to acting, but all this football hooligan and hard man sh!t is pathetic. I think there'll be a real North/ South divide on this one.

    Euro look yes or no?

    In general yes, it a good look, but only when done well, personally not so keen when grill badges are taken off, takes too much away from a cars identity for my liking. All things in moderation :)

    Where to buy body panels

    Apart from Audi (too expensive), and Euro Car Parts (they say they don't sell the item anymore), can anyone recommend somewhere I can get a new replacement rear bumper for my 8L A3? Thanks in advance, Chris C
