    Well done on the MOT Goldie although I'm sure it would have been hard to find fault with it!

     

    I hate MOTs, the guy was sound though which always makes the experience far better..

     

    Couple of new pictures as taken by Jim at Elsecar, first decent shots I've seen with the Nothelle wheels on. They really look so much better in reality..

    Wheels refurbishing - BJV Engineering - they are the ones I have used before and I agree VR6 South - excellent work.

     

    Now I had the name I could check back easily - In 2012 I paid £168 for my Speedlines.

     

    Although prices will have gone up, it won't be some of the silly prices I have had quoted today - hopefully !!

     

    Thanks again everyone. :-)

     

    I had a wheel done there with Martin (VR6 South) a number of years ago and it was a quality job..

    Ok.. Just to reinforce with Si has said above.

     

    I ordered three sets. These are genuine, correct VW Audi markings with date marks. Serial numbers on underside mirror casing is same as my ones fitted to the car (see pictures). Plugs also carry correct markings so I'm happy that we are buying the real deal.

    The guy i spoke to is called Nick Sparrow should you have any questions but to be honest what else is there to know?

     

    Maybe worth sticking in suppliers for future reference please Mods..

    They seem a quite interesting company, has anyone considered them for the roof mouldings?

    I cant get my head around whether they manufacture parts themselves or whether it is off the shelf stuff they have from VAG group?

     

    Let us know how you get on with them when they arrive Michael. Im very interested in these also.

    The stuff i was asking about is sourced from VW..

    Im very surprised there haven't been any comments about these. Im assuming that like myself people think too good to be true..

     

    Well, i phoned the company and they will be posting up on their web page a direct link to buy a pair for the posted price of one, so 36 a side plus 12 postage..

     

    The mirrors are complete and genuine i.e. primed casing, motor, heated glass, wiring, door gasket..

     

    Mine arrive tomorrow so will confirm that they are as good as they sound..

     

    So hold off from buying from eBay for now. Also their stock is large (far more than the 10 quoted) so unless you want to buy several hundred mirrors you cant corner the market...

    The fluid level is steady and pedal operates as normal both on depression and release.

     

    Very much looking like it isn't a hydraulic issue.

     

    Looked through the history for the car and no evidence that it has been changed and the history is comprehensive so have to believe its 165k old.
