Bullseye chip in windscreen ...
Cut long story short , ive been glued to the back of a Carrera S the other morning at Autobahn speeds and ended up with this on my windscreen
 http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct...65714606133474 Id like to try and repair it myself using a kit of eBay or something, the only problem is from what I understand to fix it id need to inject the special resin into it but the chip on my windscreen is pretty much smooth I can just about feel a little scratch on it , that's about it. Should I just leave it for now and see what happens ?

The pros drill a hole in the middle and then pull a vacuum and then release the resin.

Dunno where you are, but in the UK all insurers will do that for you for free.

Put a hammer through it and have a new one fitted for 60 notes

After an hour of calls to National Windscreens HQ and Admiral UK & even India, they refused to fit Audi glass as the car is over 3 years old. They were also going to fit a non-Acoustic one, but I got them on that one. I wanted a heat reflective one and said I had one before it was last changed, but they said that their supplier doesn't make them anymore, but would get a genuine one but only if I already had one (which I didn't). They did a good job of fitting it but the only problem now, is I'm sure the gap at the top of the glass to roof is bigger, but then the VIN sticker is centred in the window, so maybe I'm just imagining it, or maybe they cleaned out the gap so it's more noticeable.
