I have the centre chrome 'four rings' fittings and they a...

Re: RE: Coming out of a deep coma

my wife shattered my daydream by reminding me that I'd left the garage / utility door open and did I know the house now stank off petrol. Ohh How I love the smell of petrol. It's going to be extremely difficult staying off the loud pedal while she regains strength. after the open door incident and ...

retro fitting rear parking sensors to B5

as above really, anybody done this ?
I'm actually being a bit lazy - what I need to know is are the sensor positions marked on the back of the bumper cover as they are on the B6s or am I going to have to work it all out !
Thanks

Would it be the case that the original side impact was insufficient to set the side bags off and everything after that was , actual impact wise, less force, especially with the comments of tom1, above. I'm sure the service book in our ( hers !) B5 quattro T Sport (1999.5) s...

I though that (road) salt very severely corrodes magnesium? Not an issue for rally cars....

I love those BBS, reckon they look superb especially the contrast between rims and spokes.

I've also found that with conventional lighting ( i.e.non HID) heavy wire and relays also makes a difference, taking reading s before and after fitting resulted in about 2 volts extra at the bulb iirc.

FishFace - do the civvies use vans with police markings? Or are they restricted to unmarked vans etc? I understood that if the 'outsourcing' had been approved then the type/colour etc. of the van was immaterial - I believe the civies are trained.
