Alloy wing mirror covers! Although nearly didn't happen, twitchy bum moment. Will explain all later
Alloy wing mirror covers! Although nearly didn't happen, twitchy bum moment. Will explain all later
Wow, you've done well @81llyh!
Cheapest I could get the OEM ally mirror covers was just shy of £500!
Just waiting for the last one to go on now, found a video showing how to strip the mirrors down, but dealer agreed to do it FOC which is good as I may have bottled it!
The risk of breaking the glass is high when removing and the replacement cost of the glass is almost as much as the covers.
I had a call this morning saying the covers didn't appear to fit hence the twitchy bum moment but all sorted.
@Keef - Congrats buddy !Well what a day!
Dealer called to say car arrived at the PDI centre this morning and they thought they would go and collect it and do the PDI at the dealers to speed things along. Been at the dealers this evening and signed all the paperwork so now I'm collecting tomorow morning! Best thing is they wanted to get the car sale included in the April figures so have sweetened the deal after originally saying they couldn't get it processed untill Tuesday as the PDI centre would be closed.
Only managed a quick pic as it was going straight in the workshop.
Car is unwashed as requested.

Yeah, I definitely approve of the alloys. I'm glad I spent the extra spec'ing them.

Thanks all
Today is not looking great for a wash, strong sunshine but windy as fudge!
It'll be like a snow foam party outside. Hopefully it'll settle later.
I must admit I'm having a little bit of a wobble about the wheels, hadn't seen any in the flesh and think they are a little dark with Dayton, seem better when the light hits the polished bits.
still haven't tried the matrix lights! Note to self, no beer later so I can have a nighttime drive.

It's a great choice. The original Finest was epic and reserve looks even better.Cheers @scotty76
I'm going with CP quartz finest reserve.
I'm not as adventurous as you so thought I'd stick with car pro.

Nothing adventurous about me I just like to try new stuff.
Detail My Car based in Newbury, Berkshire. Nick is the boss and a top bloke. Been using them for years. No connection other than as a satisfied customer.@Keef @scotty76 , can I ask which detailer you guys use (if it is similar). I don't know why I did it but I said no to AG Lifeshine when I bought the car and I could see the swirls within a week of picking up the car. I have tried to hide them using AG Super Resin but I want to get rid of them completely. I have all the kit but would like to get it done professionally first and then maintain afterwards
@Keef - S4 looking fab mate !Well I managed to get a wash in, although the rain stopped play when I was drying the car.
I'm not booked in at the detailers untill the 12th.
Noticed that Audi have now painted or coated the wheel hubs, bout time.

What he said...
I've only been using Nick for the past 3 years
but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!
Only downside is I'm not local to Newbury, so it's a 160mile round trip for me.
Am doing mine myself not sure what to use yet tho.
Cheers I'll look it up I had crystal serum and exo v2 on the rs3 was very good and have applied csl and v2 on the Passat myself so fancied something different may still go exo v3 but will shop around and check othersKoch Chemie 1K nano. Very easy to apply. Good durability.
