  2. I am not 100% sure, but I think the bore is 57.1 and there are 5x 112 studs - if someone knows a way to confirm this, I would be delighted. Phoned 2 Audi garages and they can't tell me!

     

     

    all the info i can find tells me that.....

     

    Audi TT 99 > 06

    5x100 PCD 20 to 25 offset with a bore of 57.1

    tyre sizes for alloys should be

    17" 225x45x17

    18" 225x40x18

    19" 235x35x19

    20" 225x35x20

     

    Audi TT 06>

    5x112 PCD 42 to 50 offset with a bore of 57.1

    tyre sizes for alloys should be

    17" 225x50x17

    18" 245x40x18

    19" 245x35x19

    20" 245x30x20

     

    hope that helps

     

    for me i dont think the TT would suit the rounded opening style of those wheels but i guess its personal taste

     

    for me i like the R8 style especially on something like the TT

  5. all depends on what look your going for....

     

    dark metallic or candy colours will always look classy, bright matallic or candy colours will look more bling.. bold prime colours can look racey.. bold yellow, red or green.

     

    dont ask why i choose an Aston for the comparison

  6. if it needs a full respray then change the colour to something unique.

     

    has your car got a body kit or anything like that, or standard?

     

    i would have gone fro orange but a member has done that now. (and looks the nuts)

     

    i would have a look through the colour charts and see what you like :thumbs:

     

    at the end of the day it YOUR decision and what YOU like

     

     

    +1 what he said

     

    search google images for custom colour 350z and you get a load of hits... some nice some not but it gives you some ideas

     

    colour is such a personal thing.. asking what we think you should paint your car is never going to get the answer you want.

     

    whats YOUR favorite colour?

  7. People who say they do not use their car for work, tend to use their car for work.

     

    and therein lies the problem... i as a truthful person get asked will i use my car for work. i answer no. my car is sat at home and i work in such a place that i would be STUPID to try and drive (traffic)... thats what i own and insure a motorbike for (insure for commuting) and the insurance company doesnt believe me and loads the insurance anyway.... whats the point in asking the question in the first place!

     

    as for the bit about getting stung for being hit by another driver. it happens! it happend to me.. sat at the lights and i get run into from behind.. next year my insurance goes up and i ask why.. apparently i am statistically more like to to have a fault claim after a no fault claim.... :thumbdown:

     

    statistics also say that the next person you bump into will have more that the UK average number of arms (only need 1 person to lose an arm to drop the average down by .00001%)

     

    ok some insurance comps are better than others but at the end of the day they will all twist statistics to suit themselves.. they are out to make money after all

  8. The SPECS camera's are position each end of the tunnels in the central reservation, which means no hiding behind trucks as you pass them (unless your on the inside of course!!)

    The cameras have now been home office approved to enforce both the 70 mph limit and the 40 mph limit.

     

    The RADAR in the tunnel is to tell them when the traffic stops, something falls off a vehicle, a vehicle crashes etc (nothing to do with speed enforcement).

     

    so as long as over the full length of the tunnel ie between the SPECS camera positions you average a speed of 70 you will be fine.... :thumbs:

     

    have since fitted a scorpion mid and back pipe to compliment the Motordyne XYZ... think i might have to go through again :teeth:

  9. There's a very simple solution to this. Have a second bank account and put 1/12th of the MOT, service, tax and insurance into it each month. The result is:

     

    1. You have the cash ready in twelve months time.

    2. You could earn some interest.

    3. You learn some financial lessons!

    4. If your insurance goes down in 12 months time you get to take your better half out for a meal and amaze them with your financial prowess :D

     

    Do this for all your annual expenditures and you won't get caught short... :clap:

     

    Simples :-)

     

     

    yeah ok good advice.... i dont actually have a prob with it all coming in on one month and it wont make me cry if it all does.. if i couldnt afford to run the car or it was tight i wouldnt have bought it..

     

    still good advice for anyone who is running a bit tight... :thumbs:
