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

What's the consensus on car wrapping?

You might laugh, as an ex Cancer survivor x 3 I have most of those here and I'm telling you on a bad binge day... I'd still know that it's wrong to paint an Audi A8 in Orange.

However I'd like to of been with the owner, you know down the pub the night before it was booked in, casually talking about the revamp on the car and asking that vital question... "So then, what colour have you decided to go with in the end?" to hear the reply! "Not sure lets have a few more drinks and then decided" How did that evening turn out so bad that the following day after speaking with friends about his plans, did neither he nor none of his friends talk him out of what he was about to do!

I often think the same into the minds of some woman that dress funny where I live... you know getting into their minds a bit, that moment where they've finished throwing on every mismatched item and colour they could find in their wardrobe and then that moment, that standing in front of the mirror to check before leaving! What makes her see that as a "Yeap I'm looking great, I'm ready, let's go!" over "Wooo, what was I thinking, too much, I'd best go and change!" Well that second of acceptance of what they are doing is the best and greatest idea that they could have.

Regards, Mark.

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
