Lol didn’t look at new price. £84 posted. They have another listing at £70 for same mats but wouldn’t post to NI unless amended price. Came via Hermes so price wouldn’t have been any different.

I was sitting here trying to figure out how a set of mats could be near £450.

That particular store might not post to here, but AliExpress will ship them here :cool:


On a different note, I serviced both my sealey jacks today. 5 minute job to replace the orings and top up the fluid; no more issues with the jack slowly lowering itself.

Been putting this off for a while. With dark and wet days I find it hard to get motivated to do anything on the drive!

Bumper off. Dremel'd out the number plate brackets on new grille.
Painted crash bar with black truck bed liner so it wasnt as noticable through the new grille.
Fitted splitter.

Ps. The 'quattro' clips on and off too, still undecided on it!

Pps. Also undecided on the metro plate perhaps looks silly on such a big car.

Bumper easily enough removed? I’m looking for a non Allroad grill for mine.

Yes it was actually! 2 pop rivets holding on grill cover under bonnet, 2 screws at grille, 4 wheel arch liner screws each side. 3 bumper bolts each side, maybe 10 under tray bolts.

Does your allroad use a 7 or 7.5 front grill?

It’s a 7.5, not sure if it and the 7 are the same on an Allroad.

I want a 7.5 chrome Quattro grill. You’d think they’d be common because no one wants them, but it seems not!

While I was away I left it for full service, lowered on eibach springs & centre section delete. Machanic dropped it to rim-fix for refurb of wheels and fitting of PS4s tyres. Then dropped off to house for. Quality service.

Love it. Will fit the spacers over Xmas and finally clean it.

Must actually get a thread up. Lol

It is & decided I don't care. I did give it a real good coat of my home made rust proofer underneath and round the arches. So will see how that does.
Fair enough, tbh I just can't be bothered cleaning 20 spoke bicycle wheels

Sister and mum had one of these. Best car I've ever driven!!! Dunno why but just felt incredible. In the end had to shift to we buy any car as electrical problems get draining battery:worried: always wish it had stayed
