Shame on Audi

lyjw88 · 11-20-2008, 03:09 PM

The paint on the brand new R8 is peeling off for no reason.
The owner brought it to the dealer (in Korea) and they were like "oh okay, you can just get it replaced under warranty"
I can't believe that Audi has done such thing on their SUPER CAR lol

Whostheboss · 11-20-2008, 03:10 PM

after all that speeding...............

gonzo · 11-20-2008, 04:19 PM

I have never seen PAINT do that but have seen VINYL do that.

04scoobysti · 11-20-2008, 04:27 PM

looks like a shitty 3m job to me.

Couch · 11-20-2008, 04:52 PM

That has to be vinyl or 3m clear bra.

hks786 · 11-20-2008, 05:05 PM

+1

It cant be paint

Greeney · 11-20-2008, 05:14 PM

Looks like they forgot to take off the shipping protection...

GAM3OVR85 · 11-20-2008, 05:14 PM

lol WTF!!

Year's_End · 11-20-2008, 05:15 PM

meh. even if it was the actual paint (which looks unlikely) it's being replaced for free.

footie · 11-20-2008, 06:18 PM

There is very few manufacturers who's paint is as good as what Audi do. I agree with everyone else, this is not the paint but vinyl.

Nick@aep · 11-20-2008, 07:37 PM

definitely not paint. Audi has a pretty good factory paintjob.

deletedelete · 11-20-2008, 07:43 PM

looks like shipping tape. must not have been removed because the rest of the car is white and it got overlooked.
