Nice and shiny, will really refresh the back end :thumbs up: I replaced my headlights with some new OEM ones a couple of years ago, took years off the car as the old ones looked very worn out

I’m going with the just live with it option for now. No more cosmetic work, saving for injectors instead.

It should read… With his experience of more than 200 F1 races and without a podium finish. He’s a good driver, just can’t catch a break when it comes to getting on those top steps. Hopefully that’ll change now he’s powered by Audi :racer:

Just had the thought of myself at 17 being given access to a powerful car like an S3… I got into enough trouble in an MG Metro. Of course everyone’s different and I’m not suggesting that he’ll be driving too fast or dangerously. I’d probably work up to the S3 with something in between like a...

OBD11 is decent. Works well on the old wagon and my MK4.

I’ve always used the Autoglym leather cleaner and balm. Seems to work well and isn’t mega money… https://www.autoglym.com/leather-care-balm.html
