Picked up this 4.2 V8 A8 at the end of January for a fair price. Well specced and came with an LPG conversion which was the main selling point - power, luxury and 2ltr diesel fuel costs.

2 rear tyres needed replacing and fortunately for me the wheels were also slightly buckled so good excuse for new rims :d Fitted some lowering links while I was it. I have to say the ride is still really compliant! If you hit a pothole or dipped drain cover you know about it but other than that still smooth just very small amount of bounciness on the B roads.

Back needs dropping another 10-15mm to level the car out but think I'm going to leave as is as tucking the wheel in the arch I don't think will look right.

That looks ace, looks like the front wing has been shaped to allow fitment of those wheels perfectly :d

Cheers for the comments.

Yep, front wings have a nice little flare on them as standard towards the top and are rolled. Rears are completely rolled n flush too. Just the lining in there which is angled but tyres clear a treat! All aluminium body too.

Cheaper than you might think! I got a deal on these tyres at £350 fitted but even FKs are only about £130 a corner.

Very tidy. Earlier cars that shape seem to be a real bargain for the spec too.
