yes they were <beep> on mine also

i used the milltek non res to indicate my impending movements
Knowing how bad they are now, with a sensible head on, would you have still bought them had you know just how pants they were? It's a real tossup for me.

No, I agree. That would look naff, even if the Audi CF is fake it looks great becaus of the solid/plastic encasing.

I know I know but at least they aren't glorified Sellotape. Factoring in the price and what they look like from the photo (which isn't the best as you know) I was figuring out whether to give them a try. It's either that or £300+ or whatever for 2 pieces of sodding metal. Should I be putting the silver mirrors on her or not is the big question. The Bank of Nick isn't endless.

They look ok in the photo. The test is seeing them in the flesh I suppose. Still, a lot of positive feedback. Worth a risk, I think.

Why don't you ask them for a photo showing them on the car?

When I get around to it I will thanks :). Oh cock, I didn;t remember that the current profile of my 18" tyres were 40's and the new 19's are coming with 30's so on top of the fact that the car has already clonked the cats on 2 speed humps due to being low slung, the actual heignt of the 19" setup is going to drop her by another 1/2 inch :(. I had it in my head for some stupid reason that I needed to go with 30 profile tyres. Oopsie, too late now! Should have been more precise with my calculations.........

Revolution are putting the package together currently and are shipping them up to Doug & Co for Friday/Monday. I am up there next week having the final suspension/exhaust alignment and a couple of other little things so we are playing swapsies then. I will then be driving back with a boot full of old wheels, old cats and the resonated Milltek sections I bought at the same time as the non-res.

Once Lee gived her a proper clean again (The valeting guy, I am too terrified/lazy to wash her myself since he detailed her :D) I will do pics.
