Lovely car mate - LED headlamps and the 10 spokes look amazing.
I'd be tempted to go back to the dealer and have a work - maybe they'll get it sorted as a gesture of good will. Will be pretty impossible to say when it happened.

It's had a touch up pen on it amateur like ! Any idea how much this would cost to fix ??
For a bonnet respray my guess would be £200 at a reputable spray shop or £350-£400 main Audi dealer.
If it looks to be touched up I'd defo go back to the dealer and get them to sort it FOC.

Would it need a full bonnet respray
I would say so mate for absolute best results that's the safest bet.
I'd also go back and see what they say, just say you only noticed it when you washed it. They will have done a report card on it when they had it, so it will probably be on that.
Failing that I'd go for a full bonnet respray as well, a fix MAY leave a patch that will stick out like a sore thumb! as they'd have to sand that area down first and then blow the new paint in.

Bonnet respray i'm afraid. My daughter got a nasty stone chip/ding on the bonnet only a couple of weeks from new.
That's ok I said, we have smart insurance.
Smart wouldn't touch it, "it's on the bonnet Sir" we don't touch bonnets, it'll need a respray.
Mate over the road, own's a insurance body shop, he said the same, bonnet respray.
He quoted £270, got it done for £170 from a local one man body shop.
Like the car, especially the wheels. Nice to see a 3 door, looks so much better than the 5.
Saloon rocks though.

Thanks for advice guys but i cant see the seller paying fir a bonnet respray he will just say that was reflected in the of the car

If it was reflected in the price of the car, then you should question why he didn't inform you.
He would be quick to inform you of the price had increased because of x,y,z.
Don't ask you don't get, g o for it

Don't disagree about a respray, but might be worth visiting a reputable detailer first to see if they can do anything, as they may be able to fill it with paint, wet sand and buff it. They should also be able to advise whether or not you would "see it" afterwards. SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, if the guy knows his stuff he would be able to tell you.
Personally if you don't have to get it resprayed, I'd try to avoid, as I think it always better to keep original paintwork where possible.
Simply put - get a few opinions from different shops and go with where you feel most comfortable will do the best job

I have on stone chips and to be fair if you take your time with it, it's a good improvement if you have colour missing you will need a colour touch up as well I think there are a couple of videos maybe on you tube honestly you will be surprise just follow the instruction you get with it.
