Where is the dislike button! Totally gutted for you....down to the metal as well
Not so much done to it, but done for it. Finally got a 0 PPM filter. Got to say it's fantastic, if not a bit alien not having to dry the car. It works perfectly. No water spots. Well worth the investment.

I took no photos of the process, sorry. I bought a matched pair of used radar sensors on eBay instead of buying new ones because a calibration is needed after installation and calibration process requires tools that are only available in Authorised Service, and they will probably not be able to do the job even if you are willing to pay because your car doesn't have Lane Change Assist from factory in VAG database. Sensors calibrated in another car may not be perfect in your car so there is a risk you don't have the results you expect, but in my case, the system worked acceptably well, only a little false-positive generating on the passenger side.Do you made DIY? or more photos of the process?
Thank you in advance!
Removed the awful black wrap around my window surround (done by a previous owner). Looks miles better now.

Mine was peeling too, it was a nice hot day today and it just peeled straight off without the need for a heat gun.I might be doing the same soon, noticed some peeling around the rear door widow. I’d assumed the black was original Audi, but maybe it isn’t.

Post some photos when you can? I'm sure you would be able to tell, especially around the windows where the trim ends.I must check the front grille - I assumed the car (2 years old S3) had the “black” pack, but maybe I was wrong! I can’t imagine the black, had it been original Audi, would have an edge visibly peeling.

Hmm. Looking at photos of S3’s all seem to have black window surrounds. Perhaps I’m unlucky to have peeling trim.Will do, but looking at MyAudi, it says “Aluminium window trims” so looks like an aftermarket wrap to go with the rear privacy glass.
S3s come with chrome window surrounds and black if they're black editions, yours was clearly wrapped. Black editions would also have a black grill and black mirror caps.Hmm. Looking at photos of S3’s all seem to have black window surrounds. Perhaps I’m unlucky to have peeling trim.

I'm sure it will look much better when it's all gone! Glad I somewhat encouraged youHere are a couple I took when I ws checking earlier. The grille is much less obvious, I needed to ope the bonnet to see the sliver of silver left along the top edge.

I'd noticed the bit by the roof-rack foot hole before, but just assumed it was down to declining Audi quality...
Now it's all nice and silver again, just the grille to go.

I spoke too soon. After 7 rinses. It is showing water spots and runs all over one of my cars. Contacted the company to see if they know of an issue with this batch. £10 per rinse is taking the mik to say the least. 25 to 30 rinses was quoted.Not so much done to it, but done for it.

Yes it literally used to rinse the car off at the last moment. Normal jet wash, pre wash, snow foam, 2 bucket method, jet wash then rinse with 0PPM. So, yes not good for the amount of water passed through the unit.That's not good is it
i take it you only use it when rinsing and not washing the car
