UBM Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 The A4 is currently having the "go faster" stripes I accidently put on the wing removed. So, a little light relief.... Guess the courtesy car! First Clue : It's black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeyboy Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Uber how much is the repair work costing - need to have some done on my car, clear coat failer on passanger door and slight scrap on rear wheel arch and was wondering how much it would cost. Also are you getting it done at Audi or an Indy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I just took my RS4 into Southampton Audi's bodyshop to have front and rear bumpers repaired (got sandwiched in a traffic queue) and got a ....... Chevrolet Matiz. Quite the worst "car" (if you can call it that) ever created. It's uncomfortable, slow, noisy, has a crap radio (even CD's sound like they are being played through a baked bean can). Glad I'm only due to have it for a week. My wife's Skoda Fabia is 1,000,000% better than the Matiz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 [ QUOTE ] ....... Chevrolet Matiz. [/ QUOTE ] Oh don't We had the choice of two hire cars in Kefalonia last year - Chevrolet Matiz or a Lacetti. We chose the Lacetti in the end because it had more room. Definitely the worst car I've ever driven and it had all the power to struggle with pulling the skin off a rice pudding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should cost about £250, less than half the price the Audi dealer wanted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend used to have a 1.4 16v and I loved it. Great town car, yet the engine would revv and revv so freely with protest right into the limiter.
