Hi All

I just feel the need to comment on a little something I have noticed with my 14 plate Audi A3 S-Line.

I had the new car delivered last month replacing a 12 plate A3 in White. I have to say the standard of paint finish is pathetic on the new car. Stone chips I accept are a large part of motorway life, but when bugs chip the paintwork, something has gone wrong. The paint also has that horrid orange peel appearance. None of this affected the older car I have just sent back, which was also a 'Standard' not charged paint finish.

It's a company lease, so really, resale etc does not bother me in the slightest, but I have to say, if I had paid near on £30k for a car myself, with this standard of finish, I would be fuming and straight down to the *******s to cause noise.

Anyone else have issues with paint finish?

Simon.
