I'm having 22s 😬😬😬😬.

The detailer I use also punts these wheels protectors but they only go up to 21". Check out the crazy colours. https://www.alloygator.com/products/2/Sets/

Must've been the wheel fairy with her hammer and chisel.

Still makes my p*ss boil to this day and is still brought up from time to time!!!!

Not everyone's cuppa cha..

But seriously considering putting these on as soon as I get the vehicle this time round after last times fiasco's:- cost an average of £65 or £70 corner to correct and add value before I sold it..

Just saw this.. I believe been thinking of the black one's of course as I think once they get curved and they will knowing my luck and some the high kerbs in some places..it will leave dark marks easily visible on lighter colours..

My wife gets annoyed because I drive MY car through the week to the station and it sits there all day. She wants to know why I can't take the seat so she has more room to ferry the kids around. It ain't happening.

See I would prefer my kids to be in the safest and more comfortable car, you let them go about I a Spanish crisp packet??? Wow up to you!!

At the end of the day it's a car and you can teach them to tidy up after themselves. PLUS with her happy in a big car, you can then get a toy for yourself!!! (Listen to what I say not as I do as I'm still waiting on the toy!! Lol)

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm being totally selfish but I work hard for that car and it's my company car allowance that pays for it. It's like my bit of reward for all the hard work and long hours. But on weekends as a family we naturally go in the Q7.

But the estate is what my wife choose as her little family run about, I'm just making her stick to it.

She will use the Q7 though when she needs it. Like ikea and if she has a trip to centre Parcs with her friends and needs the boot space. I'm not a total knob lol.

I love that car though it's my baby. Besides hers is a manual and I don't do manuals 🖓🖓

Re: First clean up pic's..

Guys just be wary of the alloygators...I looked in to them pretty extensively when my parents bought a Qashqai.

May not actually affect any of the Q wheels but if there's was diamond cut and it's not worth it as any grit etc getting in between can actually cause more damage and damage you wouldn't necessarily see until too late.

According to the my salesman at Audi only the 22s are diamond cut but I reckon the turbines look like they may be too?
