96k! The front had no stone chips? God you should see the stone chips on mine The problem with dark cars... Thinking about a front end respray to remove all the marks then clear film to protect it again. Carbon mirrors are on my list to follow now

thanks bud I'm glad it worked wasn't too sure if it would work when i was spraying itI like it mate.
Looks good.
done a bit of repainting this week in prep for ultimate dubs , done so far front audi rings / front grills , i also fixed the stupid rattling parcel shelf with a bit of rubber that i got off a cars boot lid , inside on the boot lid ( on the doner car ) there was two rubber blocks that hold down the parcel shelf when the boot is down so i fitted these to my car and guess what no more rattling at all not a single sound from the rear now happy days
pic of the audi rings ( i know its not to everyones taste but i like them )
and a pic of the rubber blocks holding the parcel shelf down in place with the boot lid down

did you read the post fully dude , i said how i fitted some rubber blocks to my rear shelf so when the boot is shut they press on the boot so stop the shelf rattling around because of the major design flaw by audi
Aww Fran, you got some serious styling going on there. Absolutely adore the front rings and interior trim changes. Top TOP modding as always, young man! xx

Rings look quite cool in a different kinda way! Need a touch up for those grille chips
You got anything big planned this year, new wheels?

Go 8P3 standard or s-line rear mate. It gets rid of that lower join between bumper and diffuser, keeping it all smooth back there.
