Ouchh as long as your safe man, i was at stansted airport yesterday was just about to reverse park and some nonse decided to reverse out of his parking without even looking ( how i know this ? Cause he said sorry "i wasnt looking") i just slammed on the horn and reverse launched my s3 just barely made it otherwise he would taken my front end clean off lucky nothing was behind me.what did I do to your A3 this week, well driving along at 30 and someone decides to do something to my car without my permission ..
damage includes:
front bumper / bonnet / wing / wheel arch / headlight / side seal / door / wheel and that's as far as we got .... it looks like the camber of the wheel is f**ked so god knows whats bent under there .. rack? lower arm? strut ? etc etc

Ive had no problems on any other car untill the day i renew my insurance premium its like oo let me f*ck with head abitPeople like that are why I’m always so particular with where I park, unless you’re under cctv that’s working and HD clear, it’s such a gamble

Yeaa pretty much same for me worse was have a lil toddler let go of her dads hand cause dad was busy with his phone and running out into the road infront of me whilst i was turning onto the road with my work van, and that was way to closeI’ve not had anyone do that to me yet... still so paranoid cause I see stuff on here and even people doing it in real life
The amount of crashes I’ve avoided through being so vigilant is ridiculous, I reckon I’d have my van written off twice a month if I wasn’t so eagle eyed

Thought id redo my calipers my self now that i can work being an electrician and going door to door etc as a previous reminded me they needed doing ill put some before and afters turned out pretty good i think.
Also thought id redo the rear tints on my taillights as they had a few scratched on the tint and boy was that a mistake, had to heat them up to get the existing tints off little did i know mine had condensation inside so i had removed the tints the rear taillight started to shatter and crack .
Anyways knowing i can't replace the taillights now i opted to wrap them.again untill this corona virus sods off luckily they're not visible under the new wrap but they are alot darker then i liked

Dno about pegality but they look plus my light still shine through clearly ill probably replace them some point this week due to boredom lolF**k me that’s a facepalm moment...
On the plus side I’m sure the rear lights are about half the cost of front lights!
Those tints are the darkest I’ve ever seen haha surely they can’t be legal? Or even safe
The original had a very faint smoked tint on them i just wa ted to keep it the same nd get rid of what looked like claw marks this ishow it was before soo ****** off for letting ocd nd boredon getting the bestof me shouldve just left em alone and hot replacement because of condensatio. Issuescant lie, the facelift rear lights, especially the factory darker versions on the '11-12 plates look modern and have a 3d effect. tinting them cheapens the look and makes them look like the old style '04 versions that people seem to always tint imo. id have kept them standard
Cheers sam was just about to search ebay for a pair yea i tried to seal mine internally with black CT1 like a stronger than silicone and fully weather proof. But didnt work so i said id replace it if and when it got worse it was just one of does thing i leave till.its start going wrong and now its gone terribly wrong loldefinitely looked better before. think they look better with no tint on them at all, but that light tint is quite subtle.
if its any consolation, my ones had the same condensation so i tried to seal them with sicilone sealant as it seemed the edges werent water tight anymore. couple weeks later i had a dirty fat crack down the middle of one of them, i can only assume its related, so you might have ended up replacing them anyway.
