Very nice car, have you got spacers on the rear wheels or any of the wheels for that matter?

What's the offset of the wheels?

I see thanks. What I noticed was that these alloys seems to stick out a little beyond the arches, or at the very least sit flush with the arches.

Personal taste of course but I prefer the look of these alloys on the A8 without spacers, I think the arch should sit more 'proud' than the alloy.

Any-who - glad you're making progress on getting the car sorted though

What was the cause of exhaust leak? Was it the flexi pipe?

One of the flexi pipes blew while he was driving down to Dublin for the ferry. I reckon it was because I ran the car on 95 octane (not prepared to do a 70 mile round trip just to get 99 octane) and it was getting excited that it would be finally filled up from then on with Shell V-Power.

There's always something to keep you busy with an A8/S8 - I do miss having one sometimes
