How the hell did that happen?
Can you believe it? Three days I had it, three days!
Sorry I know this doesn't really belong in here but hey, figured I'd be first to post as well as first to mangle my FL RS3.
Some genius crossing the road where and when he wasn't supposed to basically. I had a green light so I just went through the intersection and he jumped out.
Cops found his phone in my windshield and I'm pretty sure I saw text messages pulled up on it when the cop asked if it was mine. SMH.
It's a bad part of town, people aren't exactly sober down there. I should have been looking for jaywalkers but it was a few blocks out from where you normally expect people to jump out on the road.
I was hoping I could get away with just a new windshield but there's a dent on the hood. The paint is fine but for whatever reason they say that panel needs a repaint. Factory Nardo lasted me a solid half a week, awesome.
S***! That sucks!! Really sorry to see that. I don't understand why it would need paint if it isn't damaged, a good paintless dent removal guy will get that out.
Wait, so is that the imprint of his body in your windshield? How did he get all the way up there without trashing the front of the car? Also, that had to be pretty traumatic. You okay?

Was the guy ok after trashing the windscreen ? and are the repairer / dealer getting you a suitable quick courtesy car .
Glad you are ok .
Thanks, doing okay.
He was conscious at the scene and the police said they had run a scan at the hospital and he would be okay. That's all I know.
Yes I got a courtesy car, it's a wonderful 2016 Hyundai. It's really making me rethink my decision to go Audi.
New windshield should be installed tonight or tomorrow morning, and I told them to hold off on dent repair until I do some homework.

Right I've asked my Dad and he said it's correct that aluminium fails to hold its original shape when manipulated. He said PDR can improve it, but is rarely perfect but is worth an attempt to reduce the amount of filler.
But he agrees with me, a new bonnet should be warranted. But to sell the idea, try and tell them that a new bonnet painted will be cheaper than the man hours to repair this one. And then if it went wrong and had to be done again, it would definitely cost them more.
If you are not happy with the bonnet repair don't accept it back from the repairer .
I am sure it will be brilliant though .
I'm looking into detailing right now, pictures forthcoming.
Please be careful regards the newly painted bonnet, fresh paint needs to be left a while before using cleaning products on it.
Huh, good to know, thanks. But it looks so dirty, they washed it but didn't dry it...

The alloy rims look better than I thought.
One very crammed engine bay.....plastic enclosed battery..no cloth cover

Do you think we should limit members to a maximum of 10 posts per day?!
Matt, you should have been a politician...you have an opinion on everything!
Not a plastic enclosed battery, there is no battery under the bonnet because it doesn't fit. It's in the boot..
BMW do the same eg battery in the boot.Hmmm.....that is going to be a PITA to hook up some components.
Ha, that's a great license plate!
White with aluminum optics, that's interesting.
This thread wasn't up when I got mine, so here's two new pics. 2 months, 3500 km.
it's white = boring like nardi grey primerYour car looks stunning! I still have photos of your car on my phone from when you first posted it, love it.
