Removing the Audi rings from the boot lid is bad...


...but this is just messed up, so so bad

I'd like to apologize every one who has been affected by this footage, and if experiencing a blurry vision, dry cough, strong headache, bleeding nose or general discomfort, PLEASE call your local GP ASAP or your Local Audi dealer.

I am deeply sorry !!!!!!

Does that black 8 have a matt finish? Or just a bad photo?

Bad photo, have you seen the video link below because I wouldn't worry so much about the black 8, orange is the one to focus on BUT not for too long !!!

Tersono, after this clip I quickly grabbed my diazepam, hand full of pain killers and finished it with a glass of white spirit mixed with vodka and cocktail umbrella of course

Quite like that colour as well.

If a wrap is done well, then nothing wrong with it.

If you were driving that orange D3 on the road I suspect people would think you've just nicked it from the nearest Euro NCAP facility. Last time I saw something like that it was hitting a concrete block in slow motion.
