Cheers DK - I agree unless your c6 is a 'dreams do come true' spec

I think I might keep it you know...although there are some tasty b5s for sale ATM

Why?

So it looks like someone has keyed my car on both sides. Car has been filthy and having given it a good wash there is a definite line down each side. In places, applying the fingernail test, it seems it might polish out. In others the fingernail catches a bit. Will see what the body Shop has to say, but I think my next family car will be a mondeo, experience has taught me that it's just impossible having a nice car in London, parked on the street

So - big thanks to Brett C6NVS, we've established the following:

the 2nd hand C6 discs he has for sale have 35.5mm remaining;

mine (by an unscientific feeler test of the lip) have the same remaining perhaps a little more;

Wear limit on the discs is 34.4mm. So mine and Brett's are about 30% worn

Audi are talking total Boll@cks when they say my discs are 80% worn......

No Suprise there then!!

Hello Scott,

thanks for your interest. No I don't really want to sell but I have to really. I have had enough bad luck since placing an ad in December.

As for where we are now:

- warranty bought and paid for
- MOT and 6 months tax now on the car
- rear MTM diffuser off the car, and C6NVS loaned oem one on the car
- the rear bumper on both sides got scraped in identical places where it meets the rear arch. Had the car all booked in to my local bodyshop who I trust, only to find the bodyshop shut when I go down last thursday - seems they have sold up to make way for flats and the number i called to book in is diverted to another local bodyshop who i dont know from adam. Take the car to them and they manage to polish out the scratches where the car was lightly keyed, so that's good, but I am less than happy with the job they did on the bumper, so i am going back there tomorrow morning to bust some balls - it really boils my piss when you pay top dollar for a job and it's plainly substandard and worse than that they think you're too stupid to notice - so that's piece of bad luck number 4 (and I thought they came in threes so I am obviously onto my second set of three!)

- finally i decided that i could not sell the car with the 20 inch wheels looking as they are - so they are off to be refurbed at lepsons in audi titanium again. Put the 19s back on with michelin ps3s today in preparation for the 20s going off and i have to say the car feels really good on them... so thinking i might keep it again - but no it has to go.

To cut a long and very boring story short, but the time I have paid out on all the above I'll be lucky if I clear £31k which is not much more than a decent trade in, but 10x more hassle, AND not one person has come to see the car yet...... Its a good car, it really is.....

If you're serious scott, I am around next weekend.
