HHS3 Thanks for the reply, and for the link. I have had a good read through, definitely some wise words in there! Thanks RD17

Hello, I have the rather basic 'Concert' system fitted to my Audi A3 (2007 8P1 3 door). I would like to upgrade this to include: Auxiliary connectivity etc, and possibly a nicer looking unit, navigation (guess this will never be that great?) Has anybody used any of these Chinese stereos...

Hello, I have a 2007 8P1 and would like to fit a towbar which I can remove, without a lot of it showing, and especially without modifying the bumper I already have which is the standard low spec trim with no cut outs. I am aware that there is a lower bumper section with a cut out for a towbar...

HI Minstadave, do you still have this? As I am after one! Thanks, RD18

Hi Dave, Do you have the a3 bumper still with the towbar cut out? Thanks Scott

Thanks for all of your help on this, the car is now looking much better (in my opinion)

Brilliant explanation, so where is the offset measured from? I presume this is in MM and will relate to the spacing that is needed? Also where is the best place to buy spacers from and what material do they need to be? Thanks RD18

Thanks for the reply, will these be necessary for clearance or just to help look and handling? Thanks Rd18

So I have finally purchased some Audi A3 alloys, thanks for your help guys :) Audi Kinetic model the same as these: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/Mzc1WDUwMA==/z/-~cAAOSwuMFUd2p4/$_86.JPG Was assuming 225/45/17 is the best size to use on the A3. I understand my originals are ET50 and these are...

Thanks for your input, taken on board! Cheers RD18

Also this is the wheel if that helps you understand where I am coming from...

Also could changing the wheels to this effect the speedo or rub in anyway? Thanks

Thanks for your reply! So the wheels are currently on 245/45/17, will 225 45 17 be a standard fitment as they I presume they are slightly narrower? Any other reason these wheels may not fit, I think they were originally from an Audi TT Cheers!

Hello guys, sorry to question again, I have still not got my head around this offset malarkey. Can I fit this combination: Wheels are 5 V-Spoke (5-Stud) 5x112 8.5J x 17" ET; 50 Running 245/45/17 tyres? Thanks

Interesting! It could well be a very mild one. Thanks for the replies guys, RD18
