Did a job on the wheels today. Cleaned up and sealed. Pain in the ass to do but glad it's done. Car is due a wash now though, it's a bit grubby :)

Lovely car! But I have just never understood people blurring their reg, cars reg is visible to the public everywhere it goes 24 hrs a day. What can someone do with it?

To be honest I agree with you (and a friend of mine actually had his car cloned from the street)

But I suppose with it being d'internet , it naturally makes people a bit more suspicious and protective about showing information which can be hidden.

It's all tin foil hat nonsense to be honest. If someone wants an A6 reg they just need to go on any car classified site or visit a dealer and kick tyres.

Well, the reason why I blurred reg is to keep my identity 'kind of' hidden on boards.

Not a ps13 dude, you need to brush up on your schassis.
However I didn't trade it for an A6, and I traded it for a berlingo and a 2storey house.
Traded berlingo for a6

They are decent enough for a bland korean econobox, great thread over on the EV forum about them.

Is your BMW a diesel? I hope it is because otherwise you are going to look silly if it's petrol. No one drives petrol these days :pac::pac:
I tried to find a petrol BMW here and I had to go all the way back to page 166.

They look like a normal korean econobox - sure they even have the "fuel" filler cap in the same place as the petrol variants don't you know.
