Never seen a carbon bonnet on an RS3.

You’d be looking at a bonnet paint and blend into the wings, average body shop £400-£500, decent body shop probably £700-£800.

Then next time, get front end PPF... It’s a lifesaver

Paint protection film, it’s amazing stuff. Self healing, any scratches will disappear in the sun, hot water or heat gun. Will stop the paint being damaged underneath and what chips you do get, normally heal themselves back to about 90% to perfect.

It’s expensive, about £1700 for a front end from a decent installer but comes with a 10-year warranty with most films.

Look up Reep Midlands, they applied mine.

How are you finding the map? You haven’t hung about!

A will take a look at that mate cheers, a work 2 minutes from ecotune in glasgow so it was inevitable, it makes a big difference al get use to the power soon enough though. Next paint job sorted then intercooler. What have you done to yours really like that colour

It’s expensive but really can’t speak highly enough of the stuff, it’s magic before your eyes haha!

That’s the trouble, always get used to the power no matter what you’ve got.

Very little done to mine to be honest, the backbox has been gutted so it’s a little louder let’s say.. Very subtle cosmetic touches otherwise. I’m seriously thinking about lowering springs now, but Audi told me that I will lose my warranty as far back as the gearbox and I can’t afford that.
