A5 or S5! S5 looks amazing here - although they have a Matt grey s7 which is just jaw dropping!

A5 sport back black edition looks identical to S5. Difference is only 230ps four pot turbo Vs 330ps v6 supercharged engine.

I think I'm heading that way.
Price on S5 is tempting but strange as it may sound the fact that the only seat choice is leather is swinging me away. I hate cold slippery full leather.
The A5 and S3 both have a half leather / Alancantara option.

Enjoy your drive home

Well got her home in one peice - beautiful drive!

However work needed on bodywork - got quite a few hundred knocked off as the whole car is covered in holograms from someone who obviously doesn't know how to mop a car!

But in shade - here's how she looks

Very nice.
Just needs the s-line badge on the front grill.
I have one mounted on a quattro bracket/clip if you want one. It should clip on where the quattro badge sits on that model.

Well I decided to give the Audi a quick clean at the weekend (and I do mean quick! It was freezing!)...

Just a snow foam, rinse, wash (two bucket method) and then rinse and dry.





















Condition of the paint work is absolutely disgraceful for a main dealer! I reckon the guy who mopped it was blind, was wearing sunglasses, and a blindfold, and possibly had no eyes anyway !!!!

Doubt it was 'mopped', more likely just filler heavy polish or glaze top coat masking the 'chamois' drying scratches........

Pretty sure you'll 'buff' them out easily enough, just work backwards on the 'cut' level......... being black / dark after polishing don't forget to wipe over with a spray of IPA/water mix (isopropyl alcohol) to get rid of any residues before Glaze and sealants and it'll come up lovely

Well little update - the car went in to Southend Audi last sat, and I drove home a 65 plate White A6 S-Line Ultra Auto. Never driven an Auto before but after a day or two - im loving it ! 7-speed, and pulls lovely!

Had a phone call on Weds from Audi, the gear lever vibration they couldn't fathom out, so have put a new clutch & flywheel in for good measure

The wheels are going to be re-furbished once more, and diamond cut properly (they were only painted last time, not diamond cut!).

So I have the White A6 for another week (unless they call Sunday to pick mine up).

Well off to pick her up - gonna give the alloys a real good inspection as they reckon they have been fully refurbed and diamond cut all within 6hrs - I'm dubious! But will give them the benefit of the doubt until I see them.

Have a 650 miles drive Sunday and Monday so that will be a good test of the new clutch and flywheel and also its economy

I will let u all know what I find when I get there

Does look smart.

Hope it's all sorted now. It's a total ballache when you get niggles straight away.

I had a problem with the Forester on the drive home. Took a while to resolve, but five years on it's not resurfaced, so they must have sorted it!

Well picked car up - gearbox feels ok.

Wheels have been diamond cut again, BUT not lacquered and have a lip where the cnc machine has started:





As such, they will arrange to have lepsons come and collect the rims and do it all again properly including re-laquering.

No point me having them diamond cut and not lacquered as they will just pit and rot again.

Bonus is that I managed to get a new boot liner rrp £65 thrown in free of charge for the hassle

Are you sure their not lacquered as they use a satin lacquer, normally with a gray tint to tone the bling down.

New Nut covers from ebay : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Au...WCQqMPqIMhVK1g
I have no idea why they always go white. I put it down to acid based cleaners but surely not everyone is using that.

I have no idea why they always go white. I put it down to acid based cleaners but surely not everyone is using that.
Didn't even notice the white caps! Ordered!

Yeah def not lacquered - I compared it to the new cars and showed the sales guy and its def just bare metal.

Well car is back with me - and all is good!

Wheels have now been lacquered and everything is hunky dory!

Can't knock Southend Audi - my boot mat came in on the weds and on the Thurs they sent a driver down from Southend to my works just to drop it off!

Great service

Gave it another wash at the weekend and all is well - need some decent weather to get the machine out though - don't fancy clay barring and then machining when its so cold the water is semi-freezing as it hits the car !!

Have you tried a Clay Mitt before Ryan? saves alot of time on claying, (if the paint condition is not too bad)

Hi Dave,

I haven't no - but I have a clay sponge which I guess is very similar. However the car is quite bad.

Might get away with the clay sponge on some bits but def not the lower doors and sills etc
