On behalf of David at A8parts, its an interesting offer, but quite outside the scope of the targetted advertising that they normally do, so whilst a bit different and fun, its not something they'd get involved with....



... anyway, turns out a8parts has made a near-tv debut, Top gear rang up for some parts a little while back for a little S8 project they had on the go.. ah hem...

I am soooooooooo envious of you guys that can handle paint. Amar did a greaj job on stone chips a while ago and, having seen Guy's car 'in the flesh', he certainly did a nice job on his whole car.

If I try anything more than painting a new parking sensor, it ends up looking worse than when I started. I'd love some chips and scratches sorting on mine, but it has to wait for the pennies to mount up again to get a pro to do it for me.

Actually, what I am looking for, is someone who could help me with a "showpaint". Perhaps my english is not so good
Most of my cars have been object for magazines and TV all over Europe and I believe that a company add on the car (like A8 Parts) could be a good investment. I have no problem driving to England, to get a really good paintjob.

it took me from start to finish 3 days that was rubbing down and priming any spots that were not perfect, you can always paint the car and add sponsers on to it in vinyl wrap afterwords if you get some

Looked great in Stoneleigh. And you obviously know your way around the mechanics too.
