Looks good very stealthy all in black with black rings and the tinted headlamp lenses. How are you mounting the plate ?

I've used Lamin x in the past to do mine, beware though, as cool as it looks you lose a lot of light output through them:





It's really easy to put on, you just need a hair dryer and its basically like putting a giant screen protector on your phone

I need help!! My Meguiar's Gold Class arrived today. Car was dirty and it was bothering me. Just washed it in the p*****g rain. Few odd looks from the neighbours but back in the garage clean, but a bit wet. Also sorted out my dirty tips with some solvol..... a bit overdue, but now gleaming. A weight has been lifted!!

Took it in to Audi for them to investigate why one of my SD card slots isn't working, they tried a software update with no joy so they have ordered a new unit under warranty, should be about a week until it's sorted. Booked my first oil service for next week while I was there and had a good sniff around all the nice Audi's in the show room while I waited. It was a half decent morning to be fair :)

putting plate back on I also sprayed the bumper bar behind the grill back as it was visable
 
Today I edged forwards into an empty plantpot...
Anyone want to tell me my chances of sorting the mark out? If any

Ouch...so annoying when that happens, Is maybe worse than it looks, clean it up, polish it out and if the paint is broken buy yourself a touch-up kit and she will be as good as new.
 
Going to be a busy afternoon .....

I usually clean mine at least once a week. But I'm suffering with a prolapsed disc (for the umpteenth time) so the car has been quite neglected for a couple of months.
So I gave it a good clean so it sparkles again, just polished the exhaust tips, so all I need to do now is get it dirty again. What a vicous circle it is!
 
Fitted(but not yet wired) auto dim rear view mirror and fitted led bulbs on all interior lights...:footy:

Yeah....Spoke to a guy at work who used to work at a ford garage spraying. He said as its so out of view you could get away with wet&dry sanding it and clear coat touch up.
 
Got them on ....

Just out of interest what tyre pressures are you running ? All my paperwork shows 18s.
