Got my baby back this evening, I'm a happy bunny and Audi body shop have made a fantastic job of the repairs





And the bonus is I asked them to keep me the old grill as they were going to replace it with a shiny new one, so this is now going on the garage wall

Glad it all turned out ok in the end John. Bet the other guy's insurance took a beating there! and lets see some shots of your garage with grill mounted too! I just love your garage.

I would have liked to have the grill hanging below the Audi sign, but that would have been too much hassle so I've stuck it in the wall next to where the A8 is normally sitting. Once the BMW is away and the A8 is off the ramp and back in the usual spot I'll take a picture and post it up

Started off today with sunshine and a photo opportunity at the SECC which was unusually very quiet. Sadly it started raining in the afternoon so no clean shiny car now

The observant amongst you will have noticed the quattro badge was missing from my wall art. The reason for that being it was fitted to my new grill which meant I had to spend less then a couple of pounds on eBay to purchase another. All I need now are a couple of non working parking sensors in grey if anyone has any lying around
