Set of 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 in size 215/45R16

Set of 4 Michelin PS3s which were bought from, and fitted by, F1 Autocentre in Stevenage 3 weeks ago. They were fitted to my wife’s 1.2SEL as replacements for the original Dunlops.

With the folding mirrors, does the passenger side dip downwards to show the kerb when you engage reverse??

Before going to the dealer why not just try cleaning the window rubbers at the top of the door panel? The fact that it goes away when the window moves sort of points to the rubbers. It was weeks before I identified the problem on my car ... I was convinced it was the door cards themselves!

Is it a rattle or a creaking sound? I suffer that on my BMW ... it's the glass rubbing against the window rubber and is caused by silicones in the wash shampoo. Cure is to clean everything with IPA or similar and then use a shampoo with no additives. Auto Finesse Lather works for me.

Re: Re: My Blue GT MY2015 arrived!

I see you've already had several replies :D The part number we bought from the local Audi dealer is 8P0 071 771 and the black version is 8P0 071 771 B. If you have twin exhausts then you can buy two trims in a single box as 8P0 071 761 (shiny) or 8P0 071 761 B (black) Thank you very much! Can I ask...

We fitted an Audi A3 exhaust trim to our 1.2tsi ... they're available in gloss black and are half the price of the VW part.

Gtechniq P1 and their double sided applicator is worth a look if you need to remove light/medium swirls by hand.
