Long time since an update…

It’s been on the to-do list for a long time, but I finally got round to a front end respray to clear up stone chips.

I decided to go with Panelcraft in Swindon who are an Audi approved bodyshop, and also based next to a good detailer (Pro Detail UK), and RE Performance (Ricky Elder, the UK R8 guru)

So that meant that I could get the following done in one hit:

- Front end (including grills) and sills respray
- Xpel PPF to front end
- Fresh ceramic coat (Nasiol)
- Dyno health check
- Alignment tweak

The car was gone about 5 weeks, but it was worth the wait!
