Oh, on a plus note for me and minus note for you Bam, Doug gave me a nice enamalled MRC badge that I can stick on her to further seperate me from the massive fleet of anonymous black Audi estates out there

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
Why? Do think they look too small? Too 'fine' or 'delicate' for what's actually a chunky looking car? Or is it the colour?
No matter where you go, there you are.

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
I don't know atm, all the images I saw of them really made them look lighter/more of a Ti finish that what they appear to be. I know the giveaway is in the 'graphite' colour name but I took a gamble based on the pics. They just look a little too stealthy for me. Without being able to try 20 different rims on your car before buying you always take this risk to an extent.
I am sure they will grow on me and the main thing is they she sticks to the road like glue I suppose

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
wouldnt worry i've just bought some wheels that are the same, never seen mine fitted to a rs6, so its going to be a bit of trial and error.
there are very few wheels that suit the rs6 i think, due to its stupid offsets, RS6 need concave wheels ideally.

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
Valeter should be on for tomorrow or Weds latest so I will have pics up shortly after that.
While I am on here, I have the old 18's for sale now. I had the tyres taken off the rims so they are available for anyone to stick what they want on. Saying that though, the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres weren't bad at all and all have between 6.xmm and 7.xmm of tread left on them. I will be selling these too.

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
You're a tease. Is sir too good to wash sir's own car?
The Michelins are good, aren't they? Did you get the PSS or the PS2 in the end? Can't remember.

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
After having the bodywork fully detailed recently and just not having the time to waste washing her currently (Summer is a different thing of course), Valet man is doing the work. Housemate has a gift voucher for a valet from him too so he is killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
Bugger.
I took my multigym apart that I have bent and buckled too damn much to use anymore and took a part of it to be toughened up by my old Jag mechanic. On the way back I decided to do some country lane driving and without even trying just got 'scuff' 'scuff' 'scuff' noises from the right front wheel arch. The combination of the current ride height, tyre width and damper setting (unknown) is meaning that once you stick my big ass over the right front combined with the weight of the engine, you just have to look at a slight dip in the road for the tyres to catch.
Heyho. Will raising the ride height by say 1cm throw the alignment that I just had done all out of whack? I genuinely don't know but suspect it does.

No, if anything it'll help with the camber.

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
Yeah the 275s get you scuffing a fair bit. I bought a heat gun and did a bit of remodelling of the linings.
Failing that, rip the linings out and plastidip the arch areas, that should stop the stone dings. *joke*

Re: Pics of mine - aka the blank canvas!
Believe me, it's been considered. Remove arch liners, then cut and glue up tractor inner tube rubber to fit into the arch areas to stop stone dings. I've thought about it. The heat gun was a better option but it's still not perfect, there's a lot of suspension travel when it bottom's out.Shoppinit wrote:You know it's the way forward.bam_bam wrote:rip the linings out and plastidip the arch areas
You love your plastidip don't you? BTW I bought a can each of black, clear and multi-purpose rubber coating last week, great stuff.
