The cupra wheels are 18x7.5? The guys in the UK have 18x8 those lucky shitheads ;)

I wanted cupra wheels but unfortunately not wide enough for what i need

You will also need the front shockers from the Audi to use the arms and anti roll bar on that subframe

I think something to do with it being and undercover German police car probably wires for the antennas etc
Oh yeah of course, I was just wondering if they'd made any adjustments under the bonnet as well.

Hmmmm knowing Germany probably better than anyone here I would say no. If it's there standard cars that every officer gets then possibly. But the one off undercover cars I doubt it. Only for big order cars they make contracts with the local manufacturing companies, for example BMW in Bavaria, and where I'm located Mercedes Benz we have factories all over Baden Württemberg
