  1. Another +1 for CarWow from me, managed to get around 2.5k off my wifes Octavia SE-L last year. Excellent buying experience from Zsolt at Skoda in Basingstoke.
  2. So far, very similar to the OE tyres, possibly a little quieter, but not by much. MPG appears to have improved, but not by enough to say that it is the tyres rather than more motorway miles/more efficient driving. Grip seems to be on par with the OE tyres also.
  3. I've gone fro the GY F1 symmetric 2's from Black Circles, they're 186GBP fitted at a local garage.
  4. Hello everyone, I just wanted to garner some opinions on what the best tyre choice is for the vRS Estate (18' alloys). The current Bridgestones have worn very well and have good grip, but I have heard good reports about the Goodyear F1's. What is everyone's opinions?
  5. That looks very nice, have you fitted spacers to the front and rear to change the offset of the wheels? If so, what size spacers have you used?
  6. Sorry to hear about all your woes, enjoy your Audi and I hope it serves you well. PS. It's Bought, not brought. When you buy something, you have bought it. When you bring something, you have brought it. HTH
  7. More "whole car" before and after pictures required! :clap: Can you advise if you just used the 15mm spacers on the rear, any spacers on the front? Looks GREAT!!
  8. I'm tempted with these (28833-2) springs for my car, has anyone fitted them and used spacers to widen the track? Pics? I'm thinking DRA spacers from H&R also, 20mm front and 30mm rear, any comments?
  9. I'll get a picture of my Brodit holder on the A-pillar at lunchtime.. I like it, handy for SatNav functions via Wave too..
  10. I had the low level warning just before the first oil service so I got the dealer to pressure test the system, it all came back okay, but i'll continue to monitor on my VRS TDi.
  11. I had my first oil change recently on my MY2015 VRS TDi DSG and the only rectification they did was to stick a vRS badge on the bottom spoke of my steering wheel! Having said that, and this could just be due to the oil service, the car "feels" like it pulls better. Anyone tempted with the Shark remap for the 184PS engine?
