Re: Nick's Mauritius blue saloon
I got a quote for the S4 recently - £150 to do the window surrounds, which I didn't think was too bad, given the going rate.Gripper1 wrote:I've been thinking about this for mine as I already have the black grill. I've been quoted £400 to have all the necessary trim wrapped in a satin black.
...would be interesting to see how your quotes compare to mine.
I'll need to revisit the same place with the RS6 and get a quote for the window surrounds and front sections (incl. surrounds to the grills & headlights).

Re: Nick's Mauritius blue saloon
First wash this year (and only time for a morning quickie) but she still seems to come up quite nice.

Naughty colour...
Re: Nick's Mauritius blue saloon
It's a nice motor is Mr Chatterbox's. Not seen an avant in the same colour, wonder if there's one out there?

Still not seen/heard of any others in this colour (either avant or saloon), after all these years.chunky79 wrote:It's a nice motor is Mr Chatterbox's. Not seen an avant in the same colour, wonder if there's one out there?
Subsequently feel an obligation to keep it largely standard and give it plenty of TLC, as it seems to be a one-off.
Not that you can tell from this pic (as it's a bit dirty at the moment), but the front end was getting a bit of a tidy up today, with some more little details to follow over the coming weeks...

Lol. Currently has a satin black wrap, but it's a WIP project car so other options were being explored...Shoppinit wrote:That needs a proper t-cut that R8. He been parking under trees or what?

Re: Nick's Mauritius blue saloon
Took it for it's first tunnel run yesterday. Tried to time it thinking it'd be clear (with everyone otherwise engaged) but roads were still pretty busy.

Hasn't everyone?chunky79 wrote:You got an R8 as well then Nick?
Yeah, earlier this year (although it's spent much more time in the workshop than on my drive!).
Probably should start it's own thread, especially as it's going to be a WIP for quite a while yet.

Thanks Dunc

Yup, still got the widebody too (and a few others, as covered in that thread!).
Re: Nick's Mauritius blue saloon
Thought the 'no food/drink' in the car rule had been broken, but looks like the rear view mirror has dumped it's LCD fluid, so needs replacing.
