The most recent graph is the 2nd one posted. Havent had the car on the rollers since fitting the intake or downpipe, so will finally get to see how much power shes producing at the next AMD RR day. I reckon it should be between 350-370hp on AMD's rollers.

By the time that i'd noticed his car nearby and realised that he was on SCN he was already banned!

Picked the car up from the bodyshop today. Got the diffuser sprayed gloss black. Not sure if I like it though, but the center exhuast needs a polish first before I decide whether im gonna keep it like that or go back to white

 

[Poverty]

btw, does any one have any suggestions for what I could use to get my exhuast sparkling clean again?

Parked a bit close there!

I normally use Autosol metal polish, works really well even just applying it with an old rag.

Have you got a pic of what the rear used to look like? Which bodyshop do you use? My bro needs some work done on his A5 and the bodyshops that i've used in the past aren't too great

 

[turboboy]

i think it looks spot on, will look even better with the exhaust tip nice and shinny

Thats not pleasing to my eye Pov. I think you v,e lost that heavy look that makes the car look aggressive now that its all black. It might grow on me though

For others here,s mine for comparison - hope you don,t mind Pov

Aside from the fact I may have mentioned the odd time I dont like Aero bumpers, I am with blade on this mate, but the important thing is you are happy with it.

I use Autosol and wire wool on mine,

Im still really undecided with it. Knew it would be a risky thing to do, at first I was like oh no what have I done, but will give it a month or two and see if my I change my opinion on it. Gonna polish up the exhaust nicely, and see how that looks, and then if still not happy gonna make 1 or two more adjustments and then see. Then if Im still not happy, I will just get the bodyshop to respray it white when I take it back in for some other things.

I think it looks much better in the flesh though than pics, and the quality of the workmanship is top notch, im really pleased with the finish.

Heres the adress for the guys, a bit out of your way but they do all of my gf's familys work and my work and they have never got anything wrong so far. I have also had some bad experiences with bodyshops so I only trust them with my car now. Their work is really top notch, and they spray kit cars etc aswell. Turn around from them is super quick also compared to every other bodyshop ive dealt with.

Sorry mate i don't like that one bit, just doesn;t 'look' special at all, maybe would of looked better at getting the rear spoiler painted black
