Umm... Very very nice. Great car.

Adrian, did you fix the door after the mirror fell off?

Not yet, unfortunately. The car could do with a few jobs sorting over the winter - trolley dent on the bonnet, stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper, scratch on the back bumper and the marks left from the mirror

I've just had a letter from Audi confirming the mirror housing and glass are supplied separately so I'm almost in a position to proceed with small claims court with garage, since they're not accepting they were at fault for fitting it badly

As a result I now need to find a bodyshop as I'm sure as hell not using that bunch again if that's their idea of customer service!

Hi Adrian, good luck with winning your case. I'll see you this Sunday at the event. I can recommend Specialised Paintwork (http://www.specialisedpaintwork.com). They are not cheap, but they do not cut corners with quality. Call reception and talk to Carl. They are based in Western Reading near M4 junction 12. I painted both bumpers, wing and driver door there. To cut costs I took 2 days vacation from work and did all the disassembly/assembly work at their premises so that they basically took parts from my hands and painted them.

Cheers

Had a recommendation a few miles from home from a neighbour who is very fussy about the paintwork on his car and I've never been able to spot where he's had work done on the car. Apparently the location is a total armpit but will probably get a couple of quotes to see how they compare.

This all assumes I go back to work in the next month or 2 and there's no sign of that happening yet due to an absence of vacancies.....
