Ahhhh.

I thought these were the 'polished' V spokes? Not the Titanium finish ones obviously. Either way, all 3 branches in the north I've had issues with have been CC'd into the complaint. Ugh. Ya just shouldn't have to fight should ya? I won't go back to Audi. Exotic specialists now. They had the spec I wanted but will be even MORE patient next time.

I did say when you bought the car that they had been painted as that wasn't a factory option.
By the looks of things very badly!

A lot was going through my head haha. And tbh, I often don't get notifications. I checked off the big ticket items with DRC and gearbox etc. The brakes and wheels I was duped. I'm gonna push to get them re-done. At least factory 'colour'. Just pissing about now. Trying not let it take away from the car. Which it won't, ultimately. Image

There is a lot to think about when looking at cars.
Keep at them, you certainly have a case.

As does the OP!

I remember Sam saying on here when I was thinking about picking up a B8...was reading the service advice and scheduled provided by him.

He said that it would come in handy now (then) that B8s were coming to end of their factory warranty. Now end of some extended warranties. I guess they're not as bad as the B7 or C6 RS6. Touch wood.

I've added an update to the other thread.

The O/S/R wheel hub and bearing has been replaced under warranty so hopefully that will sort out the strange noises! I've not driven the car yet - they dropped it home to me as I wasn't going to get home from work before they close.

Am currently in discussion with the supplying dealer regarding the wheels - not only have they been (poorly) painted, they have already been refurbed once already, so cannot be refurbed again to proper 'diamond cut' alloys.
