Now all I need to do is clean, polish and wax the car and fit the parts, find some TOYO R888s and fit them, whilst doing 12hr shifts and before the weekend  :jumping:

Cheat  :wink: lol..

Don't worry about the tyres yet. I haven't even got to a shop yet. I'm booked in at JBS tomorrow morning and then back at work Tuesday afternoon, so another day's gone :sad:

Ooh, what you getting done at JBS?  :wink:

I have a strange rattle under the car which I can't pinpoint. Hopefully JBS will be able to spot it (if not me) by getting it up on their lift. Fingers crossed it is an easy tighten a bolt fix. Had the front wheels off myself but couldn't see anything loose/ wrong. It is a similar sound (but not as bad as) to when the front ARB bracket broke. If it is the same thing again then I'll be really p!ssed off with Autotech! :fighting: Potentially it could mean I wouldn't run the car down the strip :sad: :sick:

Yes GTijames had this same noise from memory and was traced to the downpipe support bracket.

Which is why Milltek supply a Torque Arm Insert free of charge with their exhausts.

I had the problem too.

[Ooops! Here I go again, flying the Milltek flag - I'm proud to be called a "fanboy"] :evilgrin:

Yeah they Supply it now shame it wasn't  a few months ago :fighting: lol That and the fact Audi fitted the parts to the car and approved them so he gets it done like the little warranty tart he is :love:  :grin:


I agree with you Robin I've had Courtesy calls from them to make sure everything is hunky dory with the zaust and can't fault them :happy2:

Car now cleaned (not fully though!) enough to fit the spoiler. Looks good and doesn't stand out too much from the silver. Sticks out about 20mm further than the original did.

A few pics.  :smiley:

I can take or leave carbon but the silver carbon is gorgeous.  :drool: :drool: :drool:

You need the roof skin now.  :smiley:

PS and why have you got a little mini dartboard in your boot.  :signIWS:
