    Sportback Rear bumpers

    Are facelift and non facelift rear bumpers the same? Trying to find a white replacement rear bumper for a facelift model and there's not many around. Loads of pre facelifts tho.

    Friend of mine has an E46 325ti Compact track car, much lighter bodyshell compared to coupe. Its such a fun car for not alot of money at all!

    So, im contemplating chopping in my B8.5 saloon for an B8.5 S4 Avant now we have our first born.... Did consider a 3.0 TDi Avant but in my opinion diesel cars in the near future are going to be very hard to re-sell so going petrol seems logical, and buying a slow one well just no. I do alot of...

    How many cigarettes do you smoke?

    None anymore. Went from 10 to 15 a day to cold turkey on Jan 1st 2017 and never smoked since. Started smoking about 15 years old, stopped at 30. A combination of lots of caffine and smoking led to an absurdly high blood pressure and random nose bleeds when only slightly exerting myself, so...

    Business Venture help

    In all genuine honesty, a degree in mechanical engineering probably get you in the door somewhere in an office job but wont really help at all when it comes physically making something from carbon fiber. Genuine hands on experience is what you need. With IR35 kicking in this April the days of...
