It was a near perfect car to begin with.

Do you have a garage to put it in?

That is my problem.
I have two garages and use of a loaner but none of them are large enough for my 8.
I used to squeeze my Maxima in but then struggled to get out of the car.

Sorry to see this Oli.

I've just had similar, having left the RS overnight in Paris. They'd smashed the twin pane, destroyed a section of the Alcantara headlining, door card etc... I've only just had it back as the headlining was made to order through Audi AG, my bill was £4k too.

Do you know a good bodyshop?

Man why do people do this, seen a video on facebook the other day where some lowlife took a rock to a Porsche and scratched every panel, thing was people can be seen watching him do it.

If I seen some **** doing that to anyones car they would not be left to carry on

TC, wtf deportation has to do with it ????

Oli, I can't describe how sorry I feel mate, this is disgusting. If I were to use my everyday language to describe it the comment would look like that ***** ***** ****** ********* **** ******* ***** ******* ****** *****
But we can't swear on here so I', just really sorry.

After what you said I can only blame only someone really jealous from your street, someone who sees you washing and cleaning this beautiful car on regular basis and they just can't stand the fact that you own it and they don't. Jealousy is a horrible thing and it makes people do really nasty things.
It could be just a ******* idiot who thought it was fun, but I would still put money on jealousy.

So sorry Oli

Very much a reference made with humour, referring to the 19th Century when we used to deport criminals to Australia for what today are seen as lower level offences.

Personally in this case, I think hanging is too good for them

And if you don't quite follow that, then we'll just have to mark it down as one for the Brits

Loving the positive spin on it Oli. I was gutted to hear someone had vandalised her, but I'm sure you'll make sure they do the paintwork 100%

Mate that is disgusting behaviour. As a painter it's even more annoying as I know what's involved in fixing it.

Fully remove the scratch and re prime etc etc.

Man people are c unts....

But that's why we have insurance bro.

Hi,

It's been a while since I've shared an update but I got the 8 back about a month ago and it is stunning...the paint job I must say is amazing and it's in better shape than before so that is a plus.

I also got hold of a set of fully refurbished D3 diamond cut 20" FE wheels too so happy to have her looking better than ever.



Oli
