Ruby Red Audi S2 Avant

He was going to have to blow in the door to get it to match the wing anyway, so that's when we got on to discussing the other parts. I'm not sure if he resprays the whole door or just part of it i'll leave that up to him.

I always wondered how the dent by that mirror was caused; but glad to see you're getting it sorted properly, Mike.

Mechanically still good tho??

Ps, good to see the wear on the outside of the O/S/F tyre Bud, pics on #295 & 299 (Shows you've been Using it in the manner that she's been used to......)

I'll look forward to that Mike all the best with it.

I know my cars been touched up years ago where the tailgate was rusty and the colour match is such that you really can't tell what has been done.

Should hopefully have it back in the next couple of weeks then it's MOT time.

Ok got ya.Did you see craigs little paint jobs on his S6? I was amazed at the superb match.

Thats sounds superb Mike. Is he going to blow in the repair next to the door mirror or spray the whole door?

[Michael S2]

Not full repaint Mark just the bits that need done. Painter's top notch, he's even getting a lad from Doncaster to come up and get the paint match dead on.

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Bet that came as a Mike. Full repaint now?

[Michael S2]

Honestly i only went in to get the new wings fitted

Jeezo, that does sound reasonable for genuine wings...but I'm more surprised that they're still available!!

[Michael S2]

I'll be needing to do the same at some point as well Mike.
I'm right in saying they're not that expensive??

Surprisingly reasonable i'd say John, for audi anyway. List price £97.33+VAT each.

I got 20% off as one wing had a scratch on it. Looks to be just the black coating not actually the metal that's damaged. Slightly irritating, but i've waited 2 weeks for them to arrive so i just took it rather than wait again.

You'll notice there is no hole for the side repeater but the paint man can cut them easy enough.

.... today i made a trip to audi to collect a pair of these:

Not updated for a while, mainly due to only driving the car about 2 miles since my last update.

However today i made a trip to audi to collect a pair of these:


To sort this:

Of course i couldn't resist a short blast

She still sounds fab, Mike

Is the Scania your's?

Cheers bud, she's some machine
That Scania is my dads. Exhaust has a diverter valve with switch on the dash, so you have the choice of straight pipe or silencer. My clip doesn't do the v8 sound justice
This Italian gives you a better idea of the sound...

So are those clips with the centre box back in Mike? Sounds great

No that's with the middle box removed. Agree Alex it does sound great but unfortunately inside is a different story. No use as a daily driver putting up with that drone at low revs. Will try and get a similar vid now so you can hear the difference with the middle box back in. Probably not a huge amount of difference in sound form the outside, but no drone inside.
