Yeah I realised that after I posted it, woops.
Picked them up today, they just need a good clean really. But still going to sand them down and paint them black!

On closer inspection there isn't any rust.
Picked up the set for £75, so worth a go at that price.

Found some alloys going cheap but the condition doesn't look too great on them (rusty) as you can see from the pics: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$(KGrHqZHJFcFEQFpLBOqBREQ(TqgwQ~~48_80.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/$T2eC16JHJGwE9n)ySdiqBREQ(eq+Lw~~48_80.JPG http://i.ebayimg.co...

Camber bolts on the fronts, and a few washers on the rears.

Cheap coilovers will just make your ride even worse.

Some guy is selling some Audi alloys which I like the look of, but he doesn't know what car they are off (typing that made me realise that they could be stolen, well that's put me off) or what the fitment is.

I know nothing about these HID/Xenon (are they the same thing?) headlights apart from they look pretty 'cool'. Want to put some on my 9n3, and was wondering if you guys could give me the basics of it all? I have seen these conversion kits for them ranging from £30 to £200 which ones do I go for/whic...

Love the sound it makes.

Just fitted my K&N air intake, the sound it makes is amazing. Just wanted to make sure I have fitted it correctly because I am not exactly a mechanic. Here's how it looks: http://i45.tinypic.com/19bmte.jpg I removed the air box, put the intake straight onto the throttle body, breather hose from ...

I think your car might be cursed...

Was thinking about getting some tint film for my headlights in black, but just want to know if this is legal or not?
