ChudsA6Avant Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Thanks Bud... Yeah the le Mans spec was one of my must have options when looking for a car.聽 And I think black is the best colour of them all, with the 19s it just has that presence...聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregp Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks great, very similar to my 2011 but mine not the Le Mans. currently at 165,000 miles. What did you sort the rear lights out with? the standard polishing kit? Also next time you have it plugged in any chance of sharing the exhaust temperatures - pre turbo especially - we my other thread!!馃 All the best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah next time I plug it in I'll have a look.. You got a link to the thread?聽 The lights I just used a standard headlamp restore kit... It is however started to come back so maybe I didn't do the uv protection properly... I had thought of just laquering them after the sanding stages next time tho...聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
