Default A year and a half since placing my name on the list...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/123393/dsc01105.jpg"></center><p>and she is finally here! Many thanks to Glen Halfhide of Clear Choice Detailing for the clear bra - exceptional work!

On another note - has anyone experienced (in manual models) third gear not engaging (think of it - you shift in third and it pops out as soon as you release the clutch)? I wonder whether this is an issue or just part of the "break in"...

That is a great shot of the car. Quite a tight community though, do you wake anyone setting off?

Default Beautiful! I've had mine for 4 weeks now - no issues with 3rd or engaging any other gears.

Did you just put the clear bra on the bumper or hood as well? I elected to only do the bumper and side mirrors.

Default Never had an issue with the gearbox

I do have the front tires scrubbing when the steering is at full lock, feels like a locked front differential, it's at the dealer now for some Euro rear lights and they're looking into this as well.
