Default After going through 2 Audi lease-end inspections, I doubt they'll even look, let alone notice.

Both times I did it, the guy showed up, checked the VIN, the mileage, walked around the car once, and that was it. I asked him if he wanted to look under the hood, in the trunk, etc. "Nope, looks fine."

Okay, whatever.

Default Besides, you could always not clean your wheels for the last 6 months & let the brake dust cover it!

:-D

Default LOL, they forgot to inspect my dad's A6.....

And he turned it in with at least a thousand dollar dent. They called him 4 weeks later asking if he was going to turn his car in.... Dolts.

As for the dent, if they say anything now, who knows what could happen in 4 weeks.....

The best idea I have heard yet. Does that mean I shouldn't bother painting the calipers flat black?
