any parts # for the retaining belt ? looks very convenient. was gonna drill some holes for the hook, but this might be easier and cleaner

Good stuff! What did you have done to the exhaust?

NorthValley

The retainer belt is only good if you have the rail system in the trunk. If you are in US I don't think you will have this...

NorthValley

Thanks! The exhaust system was painted gloss black too. I like the play against the glacier white body. I am not a fan of chrome unless the car is a darker color. I think in my photo of the exhaust it doesnt come out too well. I will see about loading up a full from behind shot.

Looking good! Did you have body shop do logos?

babadudu

you are right, that sucks.

NorthValley

I did the easy back one myself with a hot air gun, gum remover and nylon wire, but a body shop removed front bumper etc to fit the logo up front. I tried to do it without removing bumper etc but it was jammed in there!

Did you drop the exhaust to paint the tip? Any preparation before applying the paint?

NorthValley

I didn't do the work myself. An Audi bodyshop did it for me. I know they had to remove the back bumper though as they said it was much more of a job than they had originally thought! I don't know they type of paint except it was heat resistant. They also had to sand down the chrome tips so the paint could hold.

Just don't clean and polish 'em, they'll eventually turn dark!

Seriously though, it's looking good!!
