its my dads audi it has a patch, i think its from bird poo, is on the front of bonnet, and the laquer appears a bit milky under certain light/angles would any products help remove this by hand, i have scratchX, megs DC1 & 2, AG SRP

yes i think i have the advert for mine when it went to its 2nd owner and its priced at about £17,500 iirc, is a few for sale on this page from Autotrader, quite strange seeing it i have a receipt for the aircon that was £1500, did heated, leather recaros cost much more? everything is electric too, are many of them features standard?

since buying mine, i've averaged about £230 per month on repairs, £50-60 per week on fuel i've only had it 7months, but have found alot of stuff like bearing, brakes and just general stuff is needing replacing now its done 140,000 miles Deffo not a cheap car to own, from my experience's, i could of spent my money on something newer/less miles etc, but it wouldn't be a corrado then :D

admittance is the first step on the road to recovery :lol: i think i'm still in denial :oops:

i use fishing line and hook it behind the badge and carefully "saw" it off so to speak, being sure not too rub against the car too much Chrome paint came out crap btw, was £7 for a tiny spray can

i bought mine with 130k and all the stamps, i also have been getting the book stamped, twice since i've had it but i also agree with Dinkus and don't think its that important, as long as you can see its had the money and time spent looking after it
