Default Fricking Stellar...

Just got back from Audi dealer, they can't change my molding out today, it will take too long because they didn't realize what a pain it was to remove. Thats not the bad news though.

I had them investigate the clunking, we drove it around and was able to reproduce it quite easily with the tech. Popped it up on the rack, both front struts are leaking, driver side worse than passenger. Lovely. They are ordering parts. Will probably schedule them to do it all in mid Feb when I have a business trip to Cali. Getting closer to Stasis MS kit....

Now I got my 4 pack of Guinness and the new front filler plate, so now printing out the instructions and off to the garage to modify! No engine carbon panel yet. Still waiting on the tracking # too, hope it gets here before I leave Sunday.

Default Filler Plate installed...

Easy as pie! Took me less than 5 minutes to swap, didn't even have time to start a beer. Will have to make those celebratory Guinness'

While I was at it I got rid of the lame V8 badges the dealer was supposed to remove when I bought it.

Hair dryer + dental floss (or heat gun instead of Hair dryer preferred)

Fishing line works too! And maybe a little Goof Off and a credit card for leftover adhesive.

Goof Off will ruin your paint. Use Goo Gone instead.
