haha no, this is how good I am trying to help a fellow RS member out, quickly popped out in the snow, wiped it down and took a few snaps. However I must admit, they do look good, must have been the waxing a gave it last week made the beading stand out.

Nee worries, Audi fitted my optics pack so was unsure what the removal process was.
