This poor S4 was booked in for our Stage1 Enhancement and Protection Detail as the New Owner felt the paint was in poor condition and in need some TLC. I must stress that all the defect's shown are from Previous Owner's . Paul the current owner (4 weeks) had spent a small fortune on servicing and new part's. So after a few phone call's a date was set for Project S4 TLC.. 9-7-2011

G101

Great job on that boys, luckily it stayed dry all the way home, paintwork still looks mint, so much better then it did. Will definitely be booking the A3 in with yourselves in the near future, and hopefully see you at AITP! Thanks again.

I'm pleased Paul was happy with level of correction.. Any time you are ready just give us a Ring. A few of us are making our way up to AITP on the saturday and staying in a local hotel , roll up with us if you want to. PM me if you want the hotel details ( Premier Inn)

nice work there guys

Cheer's my man myself & Grant were happy with the results after only 10.5 hours (non-stop)

Thanks Fran. The New owner said he will sort out the few problem's. The car then will be in A1 condition..

awesome work guys n loving the t shirt Col :icon_thumright: very good turn around

Cheers Darren This S4 is the same colour Black as your's so it gives you some idea of what level of correction a Stage1 offers. yep the T shirt Rock's a few more will be needed soon.
 
one more question are them V8 badges on the wings standard? never noticed them before on s4s and to be honest i hate them love the the fact its a V8 but them badges look soo naff on such a good looking car
yes they are standard all the ones we have had have had them on the wings matey , i like them lol
 
They were standard from the B7 onwards, the B6 S4 didn't have them.
 
It's my parents car, I wish it was mine, but I'm too young (19!) I only know that the V8 badges weren't on the B6 as they used to have a cab version.

Looks so much better, just a shame that the organisation our end wasn't good enough and PRD couldn't have had it for longer.

Thank's again all for your support. Mark myself and Grant would love the opportunity to work on your B5 if given the Nod.

These 4 picture are my Favorite, all the Black car's look stunning when clean and basking in the Sun..
