  1. Hi all,

     

    I have had the Octy Spiders 17" (powdercoated white) on my Red Fabia for a while now, they look awesome tbh but ive got bored of them now and fancy a change, so I have recently bought some standard 16" which I was gonna get powdercoated graphite/anthracite. But......

     

    .....My problem is that I have seen many fabias on here with the spiders in graphite and they look well. But I havent seen any on a red fabia, Only seen them on the SE and black fabia which appears to be the most common to have them.

     

    Has anyone got any pictures of their RED FABIA VRS MK1 with the standard 16" or the spiders 17" in graphite/anthracite, so I can make my mind up please!!!!!!  :D

     

    Also comments welcome, what wheels do u think look best on the red fabia?

  2. I like ur style. Im not looking to change either, just thought id try and get abit of a discussion going :D I love saloon cars especially the 5 series e60/61, not only the perfect size, I have drove 525d and 530d and from my experience they are the comfiest, quickest, most finest looking beemers out there (i have also drove various e46 models, X5 E70,and 730d) Id love to own one, one day! Turbocharged petrol... BMW 535i E60 would be a LOT of fun (insurance would be a killer though :sweat:) Very quick car.

  3. Yes, but since the air in the tyres is already 78% all you are replacing is the remaining 22%.

    Do you really think it is going to make that much difference?.

    Sorry, personally no I dont think its worth it. Yes true, the air we breathe is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and a few other elements. To get the so called benefits for tyres, nitrogen needs to be at least 95% pure, the only ways to do this would be to add an extra 10-15% nitrogen to get rid of as much oxygen as possible or unless the dealer used a vac pump to remove air from the tyre before filling with OFN. As mentioned, based on cost, performance "benefit" etc etc, I personally wouldn't recommend, its a waste of money  :)

  4. Hi Richard,

     

    If its losing its charge after 6 weeks, the leak cant be that big considering the total charge is probably around 500grams?(ish) I am an air-conditioning/refrigeration engineer and would recommend u try a product called "super seal" its for small refrigerant leaks on smaller refrigeration systems which will more than likely run on the same refrigerant as your cars A/C (r134a)?? Im 95% certain this would work. The downfall is, a garage would not be able 2 do this as specialist R/AC tools are required. If u was more local, Id be happy 2 help. Might be worth having a look if theres any one man band/self-employed mobile engineers close-by who will take cash. I wouldnt go 2 a company direct as they will charge a fortune!! If u want any advice, feel free 2 ask.

     

    Hope this helps.

  5. Be serious. Book says 3k private sale for the standard car, most of those mods detract from the value and should be sold separately.

    It depends who the buyer is. Ive seen them go on eBay for around £5k with similar mods, MORE miles, and not as presentable, well built/looked after. After all u get what u paid for  :notme:
