All would probably have been ok if I hadn't forgot about it and got a bit carried away playing on some twisties on the way home.
It didn't end well...
5 litres of white emulsion washing around in the footwell can never be a good thing.
So the only chance of recovering the carpet was to get it out asap. Fortunately I employ some people who spend everyday taking peoples cars to bits, so first thing Monday into our workshop I go. Once said employees have finished falling about laughing we set about taking the car to bits. 3 hours later I have a stripped out RS4.
Fortunately no paint got in to the electronics under the seat.
Jet washing the carpet amazingly got all of the paint out of the carpet. Sadly in one area we got a bit too close with the jet and it loosened the carpet pile from the backing and it was all peeling away. Bugger.
Once the nice folks at the Audi have finished laughing at my car with no interior apart from the drivers seat, "Sir, you do realise that it's not a works Transit van don't you?".
New carpet with assorted clips and new fixings for the panels that were taken out, that'll be £651 please sir. Expensive tin of paint this!
So until Friday when the new carpet turns up I'm the proud owner of the worlds first stripped out light weight RS4+...
On the plus side, it does sound awesome with no carpet or sound deadening in there.
Sometimes you just have to laugh, or you'd cry!
. Great attitude, I'd have cried.
