    B7 front end on a B6 cab

    Hey... same as a saloon expect the wings of a b7 cabriolet fit directly on as the lines that run down the side of the car will all align (on a saloon the lines dnt align hence why they cut the existing ones)... Wings are defo needed as the shape of the headlights are different... The rest is as...

    Everything from the front end of a b7 cabriolet including grill, slam panel, bonnet, bumper, wings, headlights.... on the cabriolets theres no problem with the wings (whereas on the saloon the lines on the wing wont match with the rest of the car)... Thats about it... It is worth doing if you...

    RS4 Wheels

    Well if you have the 17" sports wheels then yea, RS4's a good look. I was thinking RS4's on my b6 cabriolet, but I already have the 18" s-line wheels (i think they're called RS6s), so couldn't justify the cost... you already have the wheels now so go for it... You say you have a TDi Sport...

    Need advice on trying to sell a car (talking to potential buyers)

    Hi guys, I am good at selling, but I don't want to try to sell the car, the car should sell itself (if I don't get what I want for it, then i'm happy to hold on to it). The problem is (with nationwide adverts), I get people calling from out of the midlands. With these people I am very clear...

    clunk clunk sounds in my 2.5TDi :( - Tensioner??

    3rd Cheapest Diesel Cabriolet on there and cheapest by far when looking at mileage (similar mileage to mine are over a grand more). But at the same time, I am willing to drop the price considerably to the buyer... I have genuine reason to sell it for personal circumstances and willing to listen...

    clunk clunk sounds in my 2.5TDi :( - Tensioner??

    Yup, completely agree.... but it IS resale time, i wanted it gone by end of the week, as long as the offer was acceptable... It all just comes down to cost (as thats the only effect it will have on me as the car is going)... I can get local garage to do it... fraction of the cost, I would be...

    i want to convert b6 to b7 what exactly do i need

    You also need wings which are shaped different at the front end to hold the b7 headlights... Now although the b7 wings are a straight swap (like most other parts will be), they are slightly different in the sence that the lines that run down the car will be out of place... Howdy Quattro solved...

    Need exhaust tip ideas for a diesel cabriolet

    Thanks guys... Think i'll go with Woorlord's advice and get some tips and have them welded on... hopefully can get hold of some nice looking tips for cheap.... I would ideally want ones which point downwards though, so still looks like a diesel... if not then anything goes...

    Need exhaust tip ideas for a diesel cabriolet

    thanks... getting new ones sound pricey esp since this isn't a mod I wanted, just being forced into because i changed the rear bumper.... Do the exhaust tips from a B7 diesel (cab or saloon) come off so they can be attached to mine, if so, i'll look for a b7 diesel breaking...???
