You can spray them yourself with the Nightshade stuff. Or you can buy them fromC ullen or other places already smoked.

bump for updated info which has been long overdue :thumbup:

 

[Rwohlhueter]

the pictures started off really impressive, then towards the end i started to tear up to the sight of your front end. But before that issue, this is a very nice B5

 

[B5in]

Thanks, the front end was torn off for a complete timing belt job including all belts & water pump oh and thermostat, the pictures above those are after the tear down :lol:

Hi B5in,

I'm glad I found you, again.
I was parked next to you in 2006 at Midwest Treffen with my W8 and 3 Kids!
Are you planning to be at Midwest 08?
