Dunc.... aka 'Ross"
Red RS6 .....aka 'Rachael'
'Ross' just keep telling yourself... 'We were on a break!'
And everyone always wanted Ross and Rachael to get back together

No problem. Really transforms the look, doesn't it!cover99 wrote:Decals arrived and applied. Thanks again Nick makes a big difference

Re: TechNick's Mauritius blue saloon
Yes Nick made a huge difference to the appearance. I had spent time going over the caliper to correct any small imperfections and the decal made the final difference. Had not actually noticed how much it had faded until I replaced it.
Help much appreciated in making it look more back to how she should!!
Must get round to fitting the carbon intakes...... Just not enough time so far!!!

Re: TechNick's Mauritius blue saloon
No problem. I've not fitted my intakes yet either!
Re: TechNick's Mauritius blue saloon
So... this may well be the last little job I do on the old girl...
Control unit from the old Parrot phone system had left a scratch on the dash vent trim (and a bit of glue), which really bugged me.
Bought a replacement years ago, but never got around to fitting it until today.
Had to spend a few hours tearing my garage apart to try and find where I'd hidden it, first, but at least the garage got a long overdue tidy as a byproduct!!
Anyhow, much better now, IMO.
Finally complete (minus the carbon air intakes, of course!)
Hope the next owner cherishes it also.

How come you’re selling? Thought you were a lifer.

Yeah, me too Ben. Several 'personal circumstances' changes. The R8 will be the really tricky one, though, as so niche.Shoppinit wrote:Much better.

The 6 is going on SOR, so I guess there's a chance it may stay a bit longer. I'll obviously never be able to find another like it again, though!
