Got some leather door cards to match my seats, so used the opportunity to fit some door exit lights.



Also took out my seats and pulled carpet back to tidy up the masses of wires I've put in over the years!
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Not alot personally but stood around while the man from AA fitted me a new windscreen. I just know that as soon as I get it off the drive something is going to hit the window.

wasnt all plain sailing though mike, tried to repair the bootlid from a recently aquired scratch, using 2000 grit, managed to rub clean through the laquer and down tothe primer on the bootlid, with just over a dozen rubs, which resulted in a boot respray and some magic by my detailing guru thankfully.... Goes to show the ammount of wet sanding on the bonnet and wings with no issue,the bootlid had hardly any paint from the factory on it  :confused: we both stood in disbelief  :sick: but thankfully you wouldnt know there was a repair done..

Looking good Steve....although from that pic the bumper looks a different shade, hopefully that's just the light! :happy2:

Steve, did your man not use a paint gauge before he started sanding?
