Are these Audi A1 factory alloys or aftermarket

Wondering if anyone can help. Am looking at buying an Audi A1 car for my daughter. Insurers are loading things up if anything is non factory / aftermarket. Does anyone know if the wheels in this pic are factory ones? First thoughts were they look aftermarket. But I've seen a few other A1s with them ...

Re: B8.5 S5 Black Edition - MRC Stage 2+ - 488PS

Sorry to come across a bit dim - but does that post mean the the price is £25k?

Also can't see any information about where you're located.

Cheers

Your mate has got a decent deal from the sounds of it Yes it was a good deal, but was from a car dealership so also had peace of mind! He's taken it to MRC and they have given it the all clear. Needed the usual MAF and DV's and fixing tiny oil leak, but that was it. My S4 is way faster, but his is ...

My best friend bought his RS4 a few weeks before christmas. It's pretty much identical to yours but has better seats and a few more miles! Black, 2001 (but before tax change), 71,000 miles, recaro hi-techs, cambelt done, cams checked, 4 new pirelli tyres, 2 owners, completely standard, excellent Aud...

I hired a Ford Mondeo once, and that thing had no problem hitting 60mph in 2nd gear. I tried for 60mph in first but it just wouldn't have it, so after about 4 miles trying I gave up........

My S4 has an RS4 engine in it. Goes rather well and is used as a daily driver. I spent 3 hours moving through solid London rushhour traffic last night (tube strikes - had to drive someone to Kings Cross) and the car performed flawlessly. Can't see why it would be any less reliable than an RS4 if don...

I saw the Koenigsegg too on the A40 in Uxbridge. It had some kind of hire stickers on the car so presumably it belongs to a hire club or something.

I've been looking for longer than a year now. I ended up buying another fast car which I used in the meantime hoping the perfect S4 would pop up. Then I decided to sell it as I could see the performance car market was about to tank and didn't fancy losing a shed load on the car as it was only a temp...

Turns out the car has only had one service since February 2006 and the cambelt probably needs doing too.....and also 7 previous owners. Decisions decisions......im just so fed up with waiting for the "perfect" S4 to come along.

It can be expensive with recoding. I think Audi sell the dash for about £400 last time I checked. My dash is faulty too but I have lines accross the LED display but no fault codes. I have a replacement for mine that I got second hand off an 18,000 mile car. Try and get the car Vagcom'd to see if th...
