Shows how little you know about cars really.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostShows how little you know about cars really.
Skoda interior looks like it cost £5 to make.
They all use the same parts bin, engines etc.
Of course they put in some slightly better plastics on the Audis so that mugs like you pay 10K more.
Hard Brexit now!

Entertainingly I ended up getting them from KwikFit. Have had from there before.Originally posted by bobspud View PostWhere you buying them? My SL's were over 500
Tyres were 285/30/19. All prices below for Pirelli P Zeros.
KwikFit - All in 435 + local branch for me and big comany to whinge at if anything goes wrong.
Black circles - 450 + a few quid for valve, balancing etc.
Tyre Shopper (Web reseller for National Tyres) 497.70
They generally can't match the online prices if you just wander in but Black Circles tends to be independent fitters of varying quality and National Tyres is just damned expensive nowadays.Have you tried switching it off and back on again??Comment

I love Germany. It's both crazy liberal and crazy regulated at the same timeOriginally posted by darmstadt View PostThat's one of the problems with such cars, things like tyres are damn expensive and depending on how you drive can wear out quickly. I took my car in the garage a couple of weeks ago for 2 year inspection and they wouldn't let me take it away as 1 tyre was rather manky on the sidewall and 2 had either a nail or screw in. So 4 new tyres at €1600 then (and they had to order them)
Only in Germany could they hold your car to hostage whilst they marked up the replacement tyres 354%....

Have you tried Costco? Sounds daft but I'd bet you'd get similar Michelins for around the £350 mark.Originally posted by Intel View PostEntertainingly I ended up getting them from KwikFit. Have had from there before.
