Re: What colour wheels for phantom black rs4?

That was my car in the before/after picture on page 1. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten since I made the conversion. Totally transformed the look of the car. I also did the mirrors and window trim to match OEM ti package.

Re: New Member, need help with the wing mirror.

Not sure I should reply to this coz I made a mess of mine, snapping the metal strip within the rubber seal. However, being careful, detach the seal at the very front corner nearest the hinges and gently pull away from the door edge. As you near the top of where the A pillar triangle would be, slow ...

Re: New Member, need help with the wing mirror.

Mirrors are back from paint and look great. You were right about getting the mirror base plate back under the seal... Been at it or 2 hours with no luck. Any advice?

Re: 8mm spacers - before and after

275 and 8mm spacers might be too much, 275 and 10mm is defo too much as I said in a post earlier today as the tyre is 20mm wide (10mm on inside and 10mm on the outside) added to a 10mm spacer is the equivalent of a 20mm spacer with the standard tyres and that is just too much with any weight in the...

Re: 8mm spacers - before and after

Looks awesome! Today I had to change my order from 10mm H&R spacers to 8mm because apparently they no longer make the 10mm with the 150mm hub diameter. Your pictures definitely reassure me that 8mm and 275/30 v12 tires will look great. Uhm - :o I would double check your figures as 275x30 tyres are ...

Re: New Member, need help with the wing mirror.

Wow, thank you!

I will give it another try tonight. I'm assuming that the wires will fit through once it is all disconnected?
