With it being Christmas I had my parents asking what I wanted for Xmas so I found autofinnesse ultimate kit. So with such a wicked product it a change around in my shed will put pics up later today. Here is my kit in the crew bag couldn't get the bucket due to the remodel. As my birthday is only a few days away my wife asked if I wanted anything so she got my a short shift kit but haven't seen that yet but I am looking forward to using it and fitting it

 

[AlexA4Avant]

After the remodel still a bit more work in the shed to do but getting there

 

[aragorn]

good stuff Though new standard ones would probably have achieved the same!

 

[AlexA4Avant]

Used magnecor ones before and for 45 quid not bad. Got the red ones but they aren't bright anymore but they can be seen through the cover but really happy with them

I've been meaning to get the B and C Pillar covers painted for ages, as well as the roof rails. Didnt think about the mirror bases, but will have to do those as well.

Those Audi decals though...

 

[AlexA4Avant]

It been a while but have had a muppet who couldn't driven hit my car so getting a respray on the back of the car and the bumper. So have done a led conversion on the indicator system of the car as it gives it the oem + look as I personally don't think that these cars age

lucky it wasnt written off! Slightest little thing and insurers usually try to write these cars off these days!

 

[AlexA4Avant]

Thought they were going to but gonna be getting resprayed at their cost

[AlexA4Avant]

[aragorn]

you've painted your tyres

I'm not a fan of black wheels, it often looks a bit weird due to the tyre being a grey/brown color. I prefer a gunmetal or anthracite type color.

 

[AlexA4Avant]

They are needing a change soon so took the easy option and not having a tyre remover. When they have a good clean and some product they will match. They will stay black if I had painted them lol

Just finished my second set of alloys after a full respray. Fully dried and mint rims wheel wax to keep them looking nice as doing it in my dad's workshop is feeling glad the work paid off
