Good luck with that one, it's a given these days. The amount of detailers reporting atrocious pre-delivery preparation is overflowing on the forums.
You should ask Audi to leave the protective plastic sheets on so you can prep it yourself... they'll probably say "yes sir" and you'll turn up to find they ignored you.
Agreed, that's why I've made it clear they had better not cock it up, and organised a detailer anyway.

Been far more issues than just door cards

Owner on tyresmoke ordered drug dealer glass, dealer put stick on film
and hoped he wouldn't notice ...



WRONG...., the owner did notice beforehand that the car did not have rear tinited glass as per his order and the dealers where made aware of this omissoin, however they have gone ahead and added non factory tinted film to the car in an attempt to appease the owner. :audibash:

Drug dealer glass, tsk, good for small children.....the car in question was a dealer cock as opposed to a factory misbuild though.
Are you kids ginger, vampires or do you live in an area with a high density of pedos? :)

A mix of teasing and personal loathing for part blacked out glass which destroys the side profile of a car

I never had problems with sunlight as a kid ;)

Gyor, Hungry I believe is the correct answer.

Google RS3 Gyor and you'll find the Audi Gyor page which refers.
