^^^^ Fair plat to you it looks the dingles.

I wouldn't have the skill or patience so it would be off to the bodyshop!  :laugh:

Not sure I do at the moment either! The ED30 badge is recessed where the Audi badge was and looks ok but the edge of the gloss red to matte black ain't quite right yet. Need to sort that out before blocking the TFSI raised lettering back to white. If it works out should look smart.

Thank you for your kind words  :drinking:

The R8 cap still isn't quite right and does sit at a slight angle when viewed straight on (I took the photo to one side on purpose  :grin:) With the cap off turn it upside down and you'll see a clip which can be worked free then the cap separates into 3 (can't remember exactly) pieces. One piece has a turret design which keys into the top bit. Turn a few turrets and reassemble until it sits how how want it to.

TTS ones look great! Where do you buy these from? And do they need modifying?
