Now thats top class workmanship
Pity no 1 near me as good as this as I would let him at the 90q

However, never had the reply of "sorry that's nla now" at the dealer, give them the vin, the part is there in three days, the complete front panel came in at £500 ish iirc. Going off topic a little, didn't Alred use the metering head of these ?

Audi should definitely take a leaf out of BMW's book.

We went to Munich a few years ago and they had an Inca Orange 2002 ti which had reputedly been made by sourcing all the parts from within the factory.

If Audi did they, they might get as far as a set of wheel nuts, and then they'd be the wrong bloody size!

I even like it in gold!

There is a you tube vid on the BMW factory build I think, it's a great watch, istr that they had a couple of the guys on the the build from back in the day ! The M5 restoration is beautiful, does anyone know if it sold ?

Brother said,it's not tobe confused with the M5 with the 24 valve engine.
Very expensive,for what it is.

Nice, the the 19's look waaaay too big for the car. Nicely dropped on a set of 16's would have looked so much better. That just looks like a comedy car now
