They are a rather expensive option when ordering from new, around £700!  :surprised:

Nice pics - the light in this one in particular look so good it's almost looks like a studio shot. Looks a like a very clean car too.
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

Mile-muncher ordered: MkVI 1.6 TDi BlueMotion Match DSG with leather, winter pack, luxury pack, fogs, climate control, Dynaudio pack, RCD510 with DAB & MDI, flat tyre indicator

Yeah, I'm really pleased with the results from the Canon G10, (F6.3, 1/250).

I had cleaned the car earlier in the day, then driven the 40 miles, I guess I was lucky it still looked okay.

Not sure if people are interested in the shoe string modders, but here is what i've been up to lately:

Bought 2x BBS CH 8X18 ET44, and 2x BBS CH 7.5X18 ET54, both pairs Audi OEM.

So...


Made a start on the wheels, kinda happy, kinda not.

Primed:





Painted Ford Sea Grey (Still more paint to put on, then lacquer):
