Re: Audi RS4 / s-Line alloys

The centre bore may need enlarging from 57.1mm to 66mm. Longer rear studs. Longer front bolts(or stud conversion) Spacers...the thickness of the spacers depends on the actual offset though as the seller isn't sure,but if they are ET45 you'll need 15mm spacers to bring the offset down to ET30. Make ...

Re: Will 16inch Pentas fit my van

Thanks, I was damned lucky tbh, someone gave me three different sets of alloys for scrap, amongst them were this set of five pentas, so I refurb end them myself, cost me a set of load rated tyres & a stud kit !! Well happy http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab208/paulggrice/aea6807e35cac154f4430...

Re: Fiamma Sun Canopy or Caravanstore roll out awning

Stanman If your existing rail is tidy, I'd be tempted to leave it on, as you will see, mine is on the lip of the moulding, when my awning is fitted on the rail, it just sits above the gutter, some people mount there rail a bit higher, but I fitted mine there, so it blends into the roof better, peel ...

Re: alloy pollishing

Nice job. Nice bus. HOW often do you polish them? Our roads down here must be full of aggressive contaminants. I have to polish mine very regularly as they taint easily. I've used Maas, Belgum Alu, etc. all the same. Brasso/Silvo help make it easier. One wheel is lacquered. Oh joy! (Wash & Go) ...

Re: Fiamma Sun Canopy or Caravanstore roll out awning

You need to fit what I think is known as "p section", or could be "b section" !!, depends which way you look at it, I got this angled profile, as it sits just nice on the angle of the moulding on the trident roof, plus I fitted it end to end, & angled the ends, as opposed to ...
