Nope. I'm never surprised any more. My S3 went to around 15+ different garages in 6 years in the end, none of whom I'd trust to jack it up, let alone change tyres/service it/MOT/tune it.
10 points to captain obvious ;) I think it was posted in jest.
Skills, DanielJames - lovely footwork. Did you ditch the exhaust from one of your previous threads?
Waxoil I'm guessing will not be removed by fairy liquid, APCs, Tardis etc, as it's surely designed to protect the underside of cars from these sorts of products that occur on our roads?
I'm willing to bet claying and polishing will be required. I'd take it back to be quite honest.
Never liked the Ph1 Vee, has to be said. Especially in Silver. Just feel it lacks something in comparison to say Colin's Mars Ph2 or AR's Blue Ph2.
Looks as clean as always though fella!
Quick tip, put down an old towel beneath the panel you're working on. If it slips out of your hands (Nitrile gloves make it easier to grip I've found) it will land on a towel rather than a dirty floor.
It's been said already, Mark, but the sun/street lights/other car HIDs will show up swirls...
Good man. My father still does 25k+ miles a year in his and I clay it once, maybe twice a year. If your car is well protected = less contaminants = less claying = less damage to your paint. As Knuckles has already posted, your paint will suffer the more you drag contaminants across it.
Did you ask? Crap, sorry. Just fine. Not perfect, because they powder coat the primer so there will always be undulations. It looks like very very slight orange peel. But if you're not sticking your face into them, they look 100%. Good price too in my eyes.
Bunch of spammers, the lot of you.
So I managed to f**k up a fairly simple mod - @Waitey knew this would happen. There were no instructions, so iFailed. I've sheared a strut top hat bolt while refitting the poorly fitted strut brace (wrong tools, not on a flat surface, done with a beer in hand...
Agreeded. Kind hospitality at TEGs house coupled with a very nice beverage.
I'll be over again soon for s***s and giggles. Perhaps a run out somewhere?
Looks brilliant! Quick note; the 007P leaks more than the standard item. Lots of info on the Audi forums about them not passing bubble tests - worth checking you're not losing boost now.
