I want to do something with my alloys but I'm not too sure what colour to go for


Neon pink is in i hear :pac:

Gun metal is the safer choice.
Bronze can look awesome when it works, but based on that photo... looks strange as you say.

The back wheel looks better than the front, but with the light that's on it I think the back looks more like gunmetal/graphite than bronze.
Oh well, you obviously wanted the bronze anyway.

Stay away from colours on that car, it wouldn't suit I reckon TP.
Subtle is key. I'd say gunmetal is the way.

Haha oh for sure, it'd be a cold day in hell when i put pink on my car, the lights are mad though, I might go with the gun metal, or just get them tidied up

I have not finished the order yet but bronze was my original colour choice, but when I saw that chaser I had 2nd thoughts, it just seemed way too bright, I wanted a darker look like in this picture. Same wheels.


There are 2 options on JDMdistro website, Bronze, anodized bronze

9j ain't bad, I was bidding on wheels earlier for the e36.
I appear to have lost but no confirmed sale yet...

8.5j front, 10j rear!

Good sizes, I would almost risk 8.5 on the front myself but I know 8 will fit no problem and I dont want to start rolling arches.

Halfords sets are great in fairness, about €15 for the lacquer and all!

Do they actually match reasonably well I now it will never be perfect but more to take the bare look off a few marks on the handles and stuff.

Well That's a guess I always fill it when it's half a tank I might let it run down this tank for the craic and see I think they could be a 60 litre tank. It's just they all go on about euro 5 engines and high Mpg and you never see it. Ah sure if it's the only thing I have to complain about I'm not too bad.

Try the brim it and refill mpg test when you do empty that tank. The aul lads laguna is on 6.0l/100km average on it's computer. Seem about right for the driving he does. You should be getting better or same doing longer journeys.

Metzger, just saw your ad over on BMWH. Must be something special you have lined up. I wish I was in a position to buy, I'd have it in a second.

Supergurrier

The 335i is a credit to him.

Hopefully you get what you want for it MM and the replacement is a nice clean slate for you to go forward with and maintain on the same lines.

Probably not allowed to ask for best/good used car dealers in public, but assuming it's allowed: Can someone PM me good used car dealership, specifically interested in Audi A4 - 2008-2009.

I'm the other side, so wouldn't be tuned in with dealers up that area.

Some of the lads will be along with decent suggestions.

Did you try the big names, main dealers etc.

I know of someone who bought a 10 a4 back in 2013 off Murphy and Gunn and sang their praises.

Main problem on big dealer site I see is that cars start at 16k.
I am looking more of 11-12k

What's the point? You'll take no one's advice, go buy some scrapper from a dealer in Ballymount then come back moaning when it calfs.

Should be looking at the car not the dealer anyhow.
