They were off a subaru hatch sti (in pic) so pcd is 114 i think and wouldn't fit! Cupras with rotas look amazing though!

Just a quick update.

I bought a s3 upper strut brace and after a few modifications and a trip to the spray shop I've got it back! Happy to bits how it looks! Can't wait to fit it. (Excuse the crap on the side)

I always had compliments about the shine on mine when I had it, the red looks amazing in the Summer.

Just a little update.

Changed the oil and filter last weekend, fitted the sandwich plate ready for the oil pressure gauge to wired up and working
.

Also fitted a new water temp sensor because the water temp won't get to 90 and stick hovers around 75 then will go up and down according to speed! But it hasn't changed so time to fit the new thermo.

Very happy with how it's looking, only thing annoying my at the moment is the blue front mount hoses! Will go red soon!

Also fitted my new evora disks.

Spending time bedding them in properly.
Looking forward to seeing a few faces at trax in July should be a good day!
