Default My New Nose

Body shop is finally finishing up since a stupid radiator hose had to come from Germany. Has to go to Audi to program the headlights, 4 wheel alignment, and some wiring harness replacements.Here is a preview shot. Will post more pictures when I get the car back. Before and after.

One of my ex employees was moving my car out of a service bay and hit a wall while parking it. The body shop is a certified aluminum shop and they specialize in Audis. The tech who worked on my car was very passionate about Audi, in which I was much appreciative. While I was there they just repaired an R8, had another R8 about to be repaired. They also had a D4 W12 that was there along with mine.

NNo, it was my insurance. We will see when I get her back but the paint looked real nice in person.

Thanks, I picked a 08 W12 grill because I liked the look. I will be happy as soon as I get her back.
