Welcome from yet ANOTHER diesel driver on here!  :happy2: Yeah, this is the forum to be on. Endless amounts of helpful information although also a place where you will spend ALL your money!!  :laugh:

EDIT: Page two already. That means you're due us a picture. You know how it goes, at least one pic per page...

heard that Audi alloys fitted without problems - hence the questions on PCD/Offset to try and make sure if so! there's also a range of nice alloys VW based on the ebay and other sites, if i had around 2-300 with or without second hand tyres -
Large Audis have been 5x112 for a long time, but they tend to be et42 ish
Mk4 Golf and 8P A3 are 4/100
Mk5/6 Golf and 8L A3 are 5/112 and et49-50

So if you want Audi the easiest fit are some from a newer A3, but on the other hand some ET42 ones will only stick out 6 or 7 mm more than the standard ones.

i got a 1.9 TDi as i couldn't quite stretch the insurance onto a 2.0,... as well as afford the monthly payments on the car itself ;)

heres some pics as asked! :)








have some SPAX springs sat on my bedroom floor, as well as a black MK4 boot badge to make work with my rear end!

will also de-badge when i get her cleaned and sorted, maybe this weekend? :)

thanks!

out of interest, if i lower the car on 40mm spax springs, do i need to get uprated dampers or anythings else changed to avoid permanent damage to the car?

wasn't really much need on the 106 unless you went stupid low then arch modifications as well as other bits and bobs became a massive problem.....


just want to be safer then sorry - oh and if i need anything...  links please! :) :grin:

Don't quote me but the mk4 badge doesn't fit I think?

standard shocks will be fine... had mine like that for a long time now....

Welcome buddy  :smiley:

Lowering the car is a great mod. I bet it look 1000000X better.

Now get some nice 18" alloys and it will look awesome  :happy2:

 :wink: hint, hint.....
