The Gallardo wheels are very similar to the original S4 design..

Noooooo don't say they're chav... I put a set on my borat the other week as my old ones got pretty smashed up on a pothole

I actually prefer the old wheels in the middle pic but I can't get them anymore, mine are early ones and the dish in the middle of the wheel is much deeper than the ones available now and the quality of the gallardo wheels is much better that the other Audi/VW reps

Yup, but the ones you get now aren't dished so much in the middle and the quality looked shocking so went for the gallardos

Aye phil the exhausts were meant to sit higher into the bumper but shonky workmanship and dirty ears of the guy who made them saw them ending up where they are, i was not happy but there is a reason they couldn't go higher or so he said :(

Isn't that the new Ka - or am I just being mis-lead by the obvious number plate and the general Ka DNA that it exudes?

My Mates Mum & Dad Own Auto Image in edinburgh and glasgow and they have had audi's.

His mum had the RS2 and then went to the RS4

Image

Than from the RS4 she bought another Audi which was the RS6

Image

She then bought a nice new audi S3 and put lambo wheels on it

Image

She never liked them so gave them to her son (my Mate)

He now has them on his S3

Image

My wee brother has some porker wheels on his polo and they look ok

To be honest I don't really like them but bought them as the quality looked far better than the other replicas although the price was higher I though i'd be the best move as the last ones bust open on a pot hole... I much prefer the RS4's that I had on initially.

Mark, is there something very heavy in the boot of the Borat?

All performance kudos surely obliterated by the towbar too .. no?

It's not a performance car, it's a diesel borat :D towbar is for towing kart :mrgreen: Exhaust is a tad much and was meant to be half recessed into the lower vallence but the company who made it did their own thing and didn't listen, when I complained they said it's not possible to do that on a borat od mk4 golf :cry: pissed off i was :evil: anyway the car is a great day to day car and I don't care what you say... Ecconomical and functional, I can comfortably ship the kids to their mum's in it and that's all it's for, if I want performance I have the Elise :wink:
