    Time To De-Chrome

    Not sure if you ever got the De-chrome sorted... but if your still looking check out Auto-Skins on Instagram. They're based in Darlington, Co Durham. They did my de-chrome on my A5 last year and was really happy with the results - Pic below.

    S5 service loan car...they must like me

    Good shout on the S5 :) I've got a 2017 A5 coupe and my dad has a 2016 A3 saloon (company car), both serviced by the same Audi dealership and it's now a standing joke in our house what loan car you'll get.. I was always told it was one higher than you own.... so A4 > A5, A5 > A6 etc...

    Premium Diesel vs Regular Diesel

    Hi, After owning a diesel Avant for around 2 months... I was just wondering who uses premium grade diesel in their B8s. Was speaking to a guy with a A5 the other day who swears by the stuff. Having come from a run of petrol cars and using supermarket fuel all the time in these... Is premium...

    Anyone with a Black Editon Quartz Grey Avant?

    Not a black edition, but Quartz Grey Avant that I nearly owned about 6 weeks ago... but managed dodge a bullet after finding it had been wound back 65k and had outstanding finance and the kind garage didn't bother to tell me about these 'added features' haha!

    Brake calipers to paint or don't paint????

    Looks really well, my callipers are in need of some TLC when the weather warms up a bit! Did anyone use special calliper paint? or will Hammerite do the job just as well for half the price.
