Default Magnet on hood?
If I want to put a big magnet on my hood will it scratch it?

Default Dirt will creep in around the edges and eventually damage paint.
Clean very well beforehand and remove asap.

Default Get vinyl stickers made at some race shops. Don't use DIY sticker material because
it will peel off the clear coat.

I assumed you did not have an A6, but if you do, Pete is right, the hood is aluminium.

Yep, all A6's since '98 have had aluminum hoods.

Default Dirt will creep into felt, vibrate; moisture will discolor...try doublestick.
I would rather use double-stick mounting tape, the thick kind they use on badges. Dirt and water stay out, and can be removed safely.
