Well,
Had a very heated debate with my girlfriend last night (in drink) and the down side is she decided to pepper my car with a hand full of gravel!!!
Luckily body work has a few marks that will buff out..
BUT
the windscreen hasnt survived!! F**k!!!
Anyway guys, going to have to get one do you think i should just go to Autoglass etc or a proper Audi one?
Cars out of warranty etc anyway now so is an aftermarket one just as good?? Also is it just a standard A4 screen??
Cheers.
P.S Girlfriend forgiven!!!

When I talked to Autoglass recently about changing rear glass I was told that they get the glass from the same factory that make it for Audi, just doesn't have the Audi logo on it.

Forgiven?!!!!!??!?!?!??!?
Man you need to buy her a leash........lol

I would be gutted!!
What you need is a wrap to protect your paint work.....
can you not just claim a normal stone chip on insurance or is it obvious it's not??

I'd say 'new girlfriend required' also
all glass is made by the same company, Audi does not make glass...just make sure it's the same brand as on the car now (Saint-Gobain iirc) and that it's installed correctly...
btw, how old is she?

I think the question is about the quality of the fitters.
Im in the same boat, got a bad chip but havent had it swapped as I dont want my windscreen to look like and add on!!!
Had autoglass out to a fleet of vans before - nightmare!!

I had a stone chip and I've just had Autoglass fit a new screen. It's proper Audi (with rain sensor) exactly the same as before. Fitted correctly at High Wycombe, no problem.

Go wih Autoglass. Just insist they fit a genuine Audi windscreen (logo stamped on drivers side with the 4 rings) - should cost you no more on insurance as the excess is the same either way.
