Delighted. It was badly needing a good polish. Although in this dull weather you don't notice it so much. It Carpro CQuartz Professional. It's awesome stuff.

Varies from region to region and depends on what needs done but this cost me £750. That included 2 stage paint correction (go over the whole car twice) and then the ceramic coating. Everything including wheels is done. Some cars only need a single stage paint correction. If so, then it’s cheaper. All in, it’s about a weeks work.

Another wee job today. Lamborghini Urus shift paddles. AliExpress specials. They come in black anodised metal or carbon fibre. Went with the CF to tie in with my door handles and centre console trim.

These arrived whilst the car was away so fitted them tonight after work.

Cheers - Autostyle. Previously used them when I wanted some mats for my S5 but could not source them from Audi. Sent them a picture of my old TTRS mats and they copied the design. This time I just asked them to move the red box from the left to the right to match the badge on the back of the car

Never been a lover of matt paint - cars need to be shiny ;).

Cant make my mind up on Python Yellow - in some shots it looks quite insipid but in others it looks a bit stronger.

Saw the RS3 below last week and thought it looked good in the flesh especially with the black gloss trim.

Bloody wiring loom from the control unit to the bumper is too short. Had to extend it. Bumpers back on. Just need to do the interior stuff and coding now.

It’s a perfect fit compared to previous. Much better. I bought the OEM crash bar cover as well. It clips in place perfectly.

Hi mate, I am glad I bought this front grill now, looks really nice and its great to know its a perfect fit! Mine should arrive tomorrow!

I had forgot to buy the crash bar cover, do you think its essential, I seem to recall you saying you will see the parking sensors cables or something?

Great job - do you mind me asking where you got the grill from please.

Also the two side vents are they painted or wrapped ? Mine have silver in them which I hate
