I bet, a friend of mine is a detailer and his Facebook feed is serious car porn!!!!
This was the car 100 miles into a 200+ mile trip away so the cars even filthier now. Will be giving it a good wash in the next couple of days. Just got some wax as well so I’ll try get that applied too if I have a chance.
And here’s one I took before I set off on the trip for good measure...

That's what's called Ruggedly Handsome
The dent above the feature line will pull out mate, the slight dent on the feature line won't but can be slightly filled and painted, ps really sorry to see this mate, just find out who was parked next to you on the night/day that you think this happened and confront themMother****er!

They wouldn't release CCTV so I had to report it to the police for them to investigate! Not heard anything back for 10 days now.
Hope you get it sorted
Yeah that’s what I thought. Couldn’t be in a worse place on the door really.
Well I contacted the gym and they said they can’t see anything that would give a ‘definitive’ answer so they can’t tell me what car it was
Some real ********* around arent there. Yeah I’m not sure what to do really. May have to just pay for it myself and live with it.
Cheers and you
Really sorry to hear about the damage, some people are just so eff 'ing inconsiderate - and probably being generous. I know I'd be livid, hope it can be sorted without too much financial pain........

Gutted for you. Sounds like you will need to bite the Bullitt and get it fixed the best way possible.....unfortunately it does sound like paint is required, although I hope you don't!
Yeah that’s how it’s looking at the moment.
Hopefully they fess up and report the damage as apparently that’s happened before in the gym.
Quoted me £300!! Apparently they have to blend the rear passenger door too as it won’t match otherwise...?
Fair price or not from others with experience?
They said they can get the dent out fine which is good news

Along as the painter is highly regarded for doing quality work, then £300 will be worth it. Blending in the paint is hard to do correctly without it being visible to many.
Yeah well the guy didn’t give me much hope because soon as he was looking at the damage he started smearing dirt over my paint
hopefully didn’t cause too many swirls lol

Naughty boy. You should hold that against him for some discount!Yeah well the guy didn’t give me much hope because soon as he was looking at the damage he started smearing dirt over my paint

New wheels for the next two days.
Don’t realise how quick the s3 is until you drive something like this lol!
£300 plus vat for the repair which should be finished by tomorrow afternoon which to be fair isn’t a bad price. Seem very knowledgeable and tick all the right boxes when questioned.
Will have to get the two doors ceramic coated again when I’ve got it back which is a pain.
In other news I’ve just done 10k miles since I bought the car. Still loving the drive and looks although I do find myself looking at big V8s...
I’m also wanting to get an old banger to commute in as I’m doing too many miles on the s3 and fuel consumption isn’t the best.

Just a few words: bubbles, swirls, scratches and tape.
Hopefully they’ll resolve these issues next week before I say anymore as I’ll give them a chance to fix before I slate too much...

Sorry to hear man, hope it all turns out ok, dreading the day a car of mine gets damaged...
CAR IS UP FOR SALE!!
Reluctantly putting the car up for sale. Just doing too many miles and trying to save some money so having this isn’t helping.
Absolutely love the car but just doesn’t make sense financially at the moment for the things I’m planning.
Thinking of moving to a BMW (don’t stone me
) 335d xdrive M performance.
Same 0-60 as the s3, much better fuel consumption, four wheel drive and save me £100 a month on PCP. Interior isn’t as nice but the M Performance pack does look mean.
If the car doesn’t sell for what I want then I’ll just keep it and maybe buy an old banger for commuting.
Any interest then PM me.

Also update on the repair...
They’ve polished all the imperfection out and the swirls they did so very happy with it now. Will hopefully be getting the doors ceramic coated again

Don't want to like this post as I love your car and feel gutted for you. If it was a FL model I'd have you PM'd by now.CAR IS UP FOR SALE!!

Hit me with a price if you don't mind......you never know!
Cheers! You think? They quote 50mpg but I expect that’s more like high 30s low 40s in real life driving. To be honest the price of the petrol I pay for down here is the same as diesel. Not cheap
will need to test drive one to see if I could live with its interior etc. Only car I can think of with that performance, economy and price. I’d like a BiTdi A6/7 but they won’t save me money on the monthlies
Thanks appreciate it. I love it too but it’s the sensible thing to do at the moment I think.
Will PM you
SOLD!!
Very sad day few days ago...the car went. Miss it already. Was a great car and I’d have another in a heart beat but with commuting and house plans it made sense to get rid of the car...
Got the replacement lined up!
A BMW 330d xdrive. Nice looking car and hopefully quick enough not to bore me to death. And the saving in money will help ease the pain of that boring interior.
Hopefully be back to the Audi club in a few years with an RS badge maybe...
For now here’s some photos. Getting it delivered on Tuesday.
Cheers, James

Nice looking car, deffo prefer the 3 series over the 1 and 2, though I don't need something so large!
Enjoy it

A friend has the estate 335d x drive, he doesn’t hang around on the motorway, his average is mid 30’s, you won’t notice a huge saving on the fuel, it’s still 300 odd bhp after all.Cheers! You think?

Tires will cost you more as well. Might be worth considering something lower powered.
