So I dropped the car Wednesday afternoon for the Alloy refurb & new tyres to go on.
Picked it up last night and really happy with them.
They came cheaper than I was quoted too so well happy at that.

It's the Audi alloy colour done in gloss rather than mat from the below set of wheels

Awh right just I'm thinking of getting mine done but not quite sure of colour yet.
RE: Progress thread Rusty2009 - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Dec-2015
Yeah it's finding a colour that others haven't done that goes with the car.
Problem is once you've done that others start doing it.
Hoping that colour will go with Arden blue too lol.

Can't believe you all try and hide things from your Mrs's I just buy it then tell her, or ask her what she thinks but she knows even if she says no I'll buy it if I want it so she doesn't bother.
As long as all bills are paid and kids are fed etc and money goes into the saving pot then it's all good to spend a bit of what's left.

After 23 years of marriage hiding things just doesn't work lol... I would say in my defence though that there's a false economy in me just going out and spending money left right and centre in upgrading the car, for example if I were to do the things I would like to do i.e leather interior, folding mirrors, headlights, navi etc for around £1500 I would be kicking myself that I just didn't look harder for a car with most of those things factory fitted to begin with and just pay the extra few quid a month on the finance. I have the car for 5 years, more likely 3 years as I usually want to change by that time, so my approach is softly softly spread over that time period.

In fairness mine doesn't moan at me for buying things... It's when I'm moaning I'm skint she'll say something.
Take my Fin for example. I buy it and keep quiet but end up telling her a few days later anyway Haha

Hello I must say you've done a nice job on the interior lighting and I wanted to ask when you have changed the steering wheel, I noticed that you had before the teeming with cruise control but without the speed limiter.
What you put it after the speed limiter, I wanted to know how did you make it work?
I await your news ...
I opened the two blocks of keys and noticed that the internal cards are different ....
