Had the week off so been nice chance to catch up on car bits I had let pile up.
Finished the Spoiler, it is nice and solid, and a final test fit so it is ready to go on after the car is wrapped nearer August (errggg so long to wait!)
Used gel clear coat cured with a 60 second uv burst (yes it is what I do my manicures with )
Numberplate tape affixed ready for application.
Final test fit.
Removed the rings as I had a very deep scratch where I accidently caught the dremmel on the car (Stupidly used the boot as a table at first).
Then machine polished for a good hour and half till that scratch and the other caused by the Carbon Fibres open edge during the multiple test fits, had all gone.
Got the old diffuser ripped off eventually, tried on my own with no luck, asked a body shop who refused, asked audi when the car had the fuel rails replaced by the recall, and they said 'they was too scared they may cause damage'.. boyfriend and his friend tried...
Then finally refusing the be beat the boyfriend and I had a good go and it finally came off! wtf why so difficult!
The new diffuser was not a direct fit, only one side of the clips lined up, the other side I had to saw the clips in half, then some clips was too thick s had to dremmel them, and then some parts of the fibre glass edge was too thick to fit in the recess, lots of dremmeling adjustments later and a good pair of helping hands from the other half, we got it on, drilled some holes in the new diffuser and they are not bolted to the car.
Super happy but fed up of dremmiling parts now
Additionally got around to my mid year oil swap, covered 5k and been patiently waiting to use my new larger extractor! yes sad i know.. genuinly excited to use it.
Did not like the mmi even though it updates immediately with oil level if you leave the bonnet open, so ordered a dipstick that fits this engine from Audi.
As I suspected it was about 200ml over so I just drained the extra off and still says max, but I am now a bit more trusting of the correct amount of oil being in
£12 from Audi, part number 06E115611H.
Had the fuel rail recall done by Audi, nothing exciting, took half a day and car was back.
And for no reason, a pic of the car cos for a day it was clean!
Looks fantabolous @Meemo and hats off to you for taking all the time to not only do the mods and oil change but also for the write-up . And then there are people like myself who have not been able to wash the car for the last 6 weeks
