PM is a private message If you look to the right of the posts, under the username, location, posts etc. there should be a little icon thing that,s like head with a 'PM' under it.

I don,t think there is any issue with new members being reps as long as they are keen that's the most important thing. I'm not sure if there is a rep for your area or not.

Never saw white wheels on a white car before, they would definitely be different, and probably a bit of a pain to keep clean. I've had a few sets of diamond cut wheels before and they are usually good for about 1 year before they start to show signs of wear and tear. I got my last set refurbished in Anthracite with a metal flake through them so when the sun shined on them the looked a bit sparkly. It's difficult to see in pictures but really 'pops' when its sunny

I wasn't going to lower the TTS after having problems after doind the same to the mk1 but...a friend bought some springs for his S3 thinking they were straight swaps but turns out they aren't so sold them to me for £50, I could have sold them on but they were sitting in the boot calling my name :-[

The rear got lowered at the weekend and now just waiting for time to get he front done, hopefully next week so it has time to settle in before EvenTT :D

Pictures to follow soon :D
