@ SciroccoStyle: I live in Oslo In which part of Oslo do you have an apartment?

Are you often in Norway?

Pilestredet Park. Where are you? I'm over a couple of times a year at least and may eventually move at 'home' at some time :wave:

I'll hopefully get them fitted within a couple of weeks. And then I'll get me some new 19" summer wheels!

Any suggestions? 8.5J or 9J and offset 35 or lower.

New floor mats in place!

Today I fitted rest of the LEDs I had laying around here, or almost that is...

I managed to fit the puddle lights in the side mirrors, reading lights, the lights above the sun screens, and the footwell light on the drivers side (passenger side in GB). It was impossible to access the footwell light on the other side, as well as the glovebox and in the trunk. Does anyone have a clue how to do this without dismounting the whole dash??

Took a cell-pic with a nice shadow effect in front of the garage before I started the fitting

Ready to wash. Haven't tried the Grime Reaper before, but it's supposed to be very good. This is also my first encounter with Optimum No Rinse.

OK, here's a short guide for changing the puddle lights in the side mirrors.

1. Pull of the mirror plastic cover. This will snap of when pulling in arrow direction. You may need to be a little rough when pulling it, so be careful not to snap off the brackets. Also make sure the mirrors are clean before you start touching them

2. Loosen the mirror. I found the best way is to tilt the mirror to maximum up-position, then you may grab beneath the mirror between the plastic cover and pull it loose. It is attached quite well, so you may need to use a little force to be able to loosen in. Be Careful not to lose it on the ground. You also have to loosen the two wires attached to the mirror. Pay attention to where the red and blue wires are attached. The wires are also attached quite well, so be patient when you wriggle them off.

3. Next step is to unscrew to T10 screws so that you can remove the plastic cover behind the mirror. Loosen the two screws marked with arrows in the image below. Also remember to keep a mild pressure on the blinker pin when removing the cover, so that it won't break off. I used a flat screwdriver and gently pushed the pin when removing the cover.

4. When you remove the black platic cover you have to pinch the clips on the back of the cover. Pay attention to the blinker pin when doing this.

5. Remove the plastic cover be pulling the illustrated direction. Watch the blinker pin The cover may sit a little tight nearest the car window, but just take it easy and wriggle a little bit and it should loosen.

6. Here the platic cove has been removed. You can now see the green and black wire that is attached to the bulb holder.

7. Pull out the bulb holder in the direction of the arrow.

8. There's quite tight in there, so I had to use a pliers to get it out.

9. When you have gotten the bulb holder out, change to desired bulb. In this case a LED W5W with CANBUS.

10. Test that the LED illuminates before putting things together. If it doesn't, try changing the direction of the LED socket.

11. Reassemble everything in oppsite direction.

Here is a before picture with halogen:

And after with LED:

My original plan with Vertini Concave alloys that I had ordered didn't go exactly as expected. They had been ordered and was due to be delievered this week, but it turned out the the retailer was out of stock.

I didn't want to wait another 3-4 four weeks for new ones, so went out to a pal and tested his RS6-2 Gunmetal 8,5x19 ET33 alloys. He had used them one wither season, and was now selling them.

I was a little sceptical about the black/gunmetal match before I first saw it. When we got them mounted I think they matched the car very well! I bought them, and went straigt to a tire dealer and fitted Nokain Hakka Z, 235/35-19.

Here are a couple of pictures from when we tested the wheels, currently equipped with Conti5 winther tires.
