Spare wheels

Hiya, has anyone got a spare set of wheels I could borrow for 2 days while I have mine refurbed, as long as they are road legal I don't care what they are.
Obviously there will be a drink in it if anyone can help.
I live in the Manchester area (Rochdale)
Cheers

Headlights

Hiya, who makes the best replacement headlights for a b7.
The lenses on mine have small cracks on them that really spoil the look of the car.
Have already had them buffed but cracks are too deep
Thanks everyone and a happy new year

Alltrack 177hp tdi

Hi, engine light has come on my alltrack.
My friend has plugged a dongle in and it wont connect, also tried a hard wire type via a laptop that also wont connect, any ideas, could this be the engine light fault, is there a fuse that would stop it connecting if it was blown?

Re: FREE Saloon parts B5.5

Middleton, 4 spoke wheel, no pics of wheels
If you want the other bits you can have a look at the alloys.
They were only on car for 40000 miles over 10 years, been in storage at work for 2 years

Group Project

Had an idea, dont want to sell my b5.5 saloon.
So I thought if you fellas could come up with some improvements I could make.
Only thing I cant do is lower the car as I use it as a tow car.
It is basic "s" spec to give you a start.

Re: ESP FAULT HELP (Manchester)

You miss out on descent seats, no heating, fog lights, parking sensors, and probably a few other items.
As was pointed out to me, even a late b5.5 will be at least 11 years old so finding heated leather seats for example in near perfect condition would be impossible
