dont suppose you got a new bumper because I noticed someone is selling a second hand daytona grey audi a1 s-line bumper on ebaytriplefan said:Just got my baby back after having the panel repaired where the tailgate rubber abraded the paint.
haha... oh i see now!triplefan said:Defo not, it was only in for the small rubbed section under the light as shown in the first pic
Well not unless they had a serious mishap..................
I looked at the repair before I left, and saw nothing untoward, then when I was uploading the photos I saw that patch and rushed out to check again, nothing there so it must have been a reflection of something.Mojito said:Looks like they done a decent job there. On the left light pic though, it looks like there could be a paint run? Or it could just be a bad reflection?
All done under warrantytaconite2 said:How much was this?
If you have the lights under the boot lid (not sure if all models have them or if it comes with the led/xenons or sline etc) - then the big black rubber stoppers on the boot (which can be wound in or out) rub on the metalwork just below the lights on the body of the car - rubbing through the paintwork - it often shows as a horizontal stripe of grey about 1" long and 1/8" wide. I had it on the left (looking into the car) but the one on the right was rubbing but not enough to rub through - just to keep dirt off. Did 3 turns on the left boot stopper and one on the right one - problem gone (except for the hole in my paintwork).jollyretard said:sorry for sounding a bit thick, but what is the problem being caused here?
No, screw it in - you should be able to see a gap between the outer stopper and the bit attached to the boot lit - narrow that gap - probably clockwise, but I can't remember. I think if its too far out, its rubbing on the metal all the time, if its in, then it hits the metal if you slam too hard - but otherwise doesnt make contact.Mojito said:So, its best to unscrew the rubber stopper slightly... So it keeps the hatch further away from the boot panel?
You may well be right, I could be wrong but it does look as if the gaps are slightly bigger than before, also not sure the offending item is actually adjustable.Mojito said:So, its best to unscrew the rubber stopper slightly... So it keeps the hatch further away from the boot panel?
