    OEM "Performance" 17" wheels and Nokian tyres for sale

    having googled the question, I would say that these WON'T fit, due to the size of Cupra discs. Sorry....

    OEM "Performance" 17" wheels and Nokian tyres for sale

    sorry - I don't. These came off a 184FR, but maybe the discs are bigger on a cupra. I would think they are....

    OEM "Performance" 17" wheels and Nokian tyres for sale

    ...which there is. 7J 17 112 ET49. Hope that's the answer you wanted....they were originally on my 184TDi FR, which had 18s in the showroom, but the dealer swapped them for the 17" as I wanted a slightly softer ride.

    OEM "Performance" 17" wheels and Nokian tyres for sale

    I'm selling the 17" (225/45/17) Performance wheels that came with my FR ST, fitted with Nokian WR D3 winter tyres. Tyres are all better than 6mm depth, with 2 over 7mm. One wheel has been kerbed, but it's not drastic. Others are unmarked. I KNOW they've got VW centres, but that's because I gave...

    Panoramic Sunroof Problems

    will be a great car, I'm sure. Audi interior fit and finish is best there is, and the A4 Avant is pretty too. Maybe not as pretty as the leon ST, but hey. First world problem, right? enjoy it. Back to getting out the stepladder to wash the XC60 roof.....:-)

    Panoramic Sunroof Problems

    hello again - I had a rattle on my ST sunroof (from the front) when it was shut, and Letchworth Seat fixed it with a very small foam insert. I did find that the BLIND would rattle a little when fully open; moving it forward a couple of inches fixed it. I miss the drive and handling in the Leon...

    goodbye! (arthritis forces sale of FR...)

    is that all it takes? I thought I'd have to buy a trilby, a pipe, and increase the beta blockers by at least 100% to get that chilled-out, laid-back attitude, instead of driving around like my trousers were on fire, the seat almost horizontal and a back-to-front baseball cap on...

    goodbye! (arthritis forces sale of FR...)

    have been on the volvo forum already. There's one thread which is the Volvo Form "Mornington Crescent" game, as in BBC R4's "I'm Sorry - I Haven't A Clue". On P249 so far... Obviously a much better class of car-obsessed OCD saddo's than you meet on here:-) Doubt there's much about tuning...

    Passenger rear view mirror tilt

    he doesn't miss much, does he? Major Tom - were you driving in Sweden when they switched from driving on the left to the right?

    FR 17" wheels

    I sympathise completely; when I bought mine the dealer (Letchworth Seat) were happy to swap the standard-fitment 18s for the same Performance 17s as I didn't want too harsh a ride. But after 3 years I'm finding the seats firm anyway, but worse is trying to climb out! so with regret, Leon -...

    won't be arriving till mid-March, so I may be able to cause a bit more upset in the meantime...

    goodbye! (arthritis forces sale of FR...)

    well, it won't be as quick as the leon, or as cheap to run, that's for sure. But it'll be easier to get in and out of, plus moving back to an auto box as the problem has spread to my left foot and ankle. Lucky it's not the right one! cheers, guys:-) Bet the volvo forum's a bit staid compared...

    goodbye! (arthritis forces sale of FR...)

    just reluctantly put in an ad to sell my much-loved 184 FR, as my knees are getting worse. So I'll be getting a Volvo XC60 in a few weeks, as it's just a bit bigger and softer than the Ateca. So it's cheerio to all my mates on here - thanks for you humour and help; hope you all keep on keeping...

    Tough choice: ST FR 1.4 ACT TSI or 1.8 TSI

    find the right road and the multi-link suspension is terrific when you're "pushing on". Really comes alive...
