Whenever I do a thread everything goes wrong. Thread = shed.
Then don't make it an E30 thread. Make it a general "Acme "stuff" goes here" thread. MX5, Skoda, E30, whatever you end up buying next, general motors guff
Collected my car from the bodyshop on Friday after some remedial work. Really pleased, they even managed to significantly reduce the scuff on the carbon blade, but that will need further work and the car REALLY needs a paint correction as the swirl marks under LED lights are scary bad.
This is the side with the carbon blade that got scuffed. New grills front and back
The previous grills were grey (the standard ones) wrapped with carbon wrap which had become tatty. I don't do tatty so that needed fixing. Brand new black gloss Audi parts.
The now not so MASSIVE scuff. It was 5 times the size of this, they did what they could, better than I expect....but still more to do. Have a carbon specialist (race tub building) lined up to have a look at it.
Rear bumper and both sills painted and sills treated at front edges to reduce stone chipping and all 4 wheels back to metal repaints.

Off topic thread 2.0.
I hope so. Car is getting close to where I want it but still stuff to do. It needs a proper set up, which I will get Centre Gravity to put on it and a full detail and paint correction. Finally a good service, new oils and we should be all set for the summer. A few people have said I should make the wheels black, but I hate black wheels and think it looks better in graphite grey like they are now.
