Morning Steve,
I knew I’d seen these wheels on question on an A2 before. They’re shown on the very first picture on the Project OEM thread all the way back at Post #1:
Just going back over the initial few posts and cannot believe how quickly it transformed into what I drive now, such a great purchase which was all down to you Sir.
Kind regards,
Tom

They must be replica wheels as I don't believe that triple segment design was made in a OEM 5x100 fitment hence probably why @2work had to remove them from his 'Project OEM' car

Evening Neil and Mars,
I cannot comment on the wheels that are shown in the first post on the Project OEM thread unfortunately. These wheels in question were nowhere to be seen when I collected the vehicle. It was sat on SE wheels with no centre caps and multiple brand tyres which is why I quickly swapped to the Pepperpots . I'm sure Bob @Jellybean might have the answer though.
Kind regards,
Tom

Steven, how did you paint your headlights. They look a bit grayish. Very nice. Please let me know. Cheers, Andrej

Maybe that car's actually a completely normal one and it's just not been unlocked yet

Morning Andrej,
To achieve the smoked look on headlights, some members have had a touch of black paint mixed into the 2k clear coat before application. This look does seem to suit some exterior colours but not too sure it's acceptable to present a set of 'smoked-headlights' for MOT.
Kind regards,
Tom

The reason i am asking this is that my headlights dont come from the same box. And if you look carefully, you can see that left light is a bit more yellow thatn the right one. And its making me nervous.... Thats why i tried to sand and polish them. Even that results were good, the colour difference is still there, so i dont see no other option than buying a new one's.....but i have 400 reasons not to....

Mine are way worseWondering if i could get my Wheels refurbished to polished finish.
They are from a 2005 1.4 SE.
Currently are Silver coloured.
Are these the same Wheels that were offered from Audi on the A2 with a polished finish that were simply painted Silver?
Would appreciate anyone's comments please.

They would need to be 'diamond cut' rather than chromed. It will have the same desired effect of producing a very shioney wheel. They would be powder coated on the inside and the bits inside the spokes with powdercoat and then cut back to a chrome finish on the faces. Followed by a clear powdercoat to seal them. It's not a cheap process, probably arund the £300 mark for a set like this.
Thanks for replies.
I will send them to a professional company to achieve finish as in9999 shows.
Looks good and keeps Wheel/Tyre size standard.
May take the opportunity to fit some recognizable Tyre manufacture to the Wheels when I'm at it.
Can't believe how many cheap Tyres are available these days from the furthest corner of the Globe.
Thanks again.
