    i will never pay 3,000 or 4,000 for a wrap.

      why? they have self healing wraps that last 10+ years. Easy to maintain and still cheaper than a great paintjob. I've had bad experiences with paint shops even when I paid alot of money.

    NICE MK8!!! One thing to note actually Audi did release an 18in Rotor Wheel from a 2012 A3, that's where I got mine for my MK7.5 GTI.

    Good looking ride so far Shep! Any plans to throw a tune on this bad boy? I think you’d love the added power and personality!

      Thank you! Absolutely I’m just waiting for the warranty to go before I do any more power just because with all the electrical screen glitches, I want to have that warranty.

    Spoiler..big 👍 But just 1 thing research before you spend! (I also did similar at your age..but this was b4 google & wireless network access everywhere!lol And..compete with quotes, ask questions (lots) when paying for any mech services (knowledge!) they'll oblige for repeat business & Aliexpress is awesome (choose wisely. Avoid products that will experience constant load duties (only OEM or better) especially for prefab aesthetic stuff for 50-60% less than shop $ (that wing is sik, but is it worth 2 full lip kits+1 Spoiler?! Enjoy the ride 🤘

    any reason you did not get the spoiler wrapped around the edges? it would look a lot cleaner, more like how its paint matched on golf Rs

    • @ShepsGarage
      @ShepsGarage  Před měsícem

      Good question, me personally I think it looks better top have the base color matched and the actual wing part black.

      Yours is unique! Love that color! What color was it off the lot? I’ve got a 2023 40th Anniversary Edition in the color I wanted (pomelo yellow), so just PPF for me instead of a wrap. I’m just keeping mine stock. Had it for 1 1/2 years now, 6,800 miles, no issues, just pure fun! Thanks for sharing!

    If the car is 300k.yes go ahead buy a 5,000 wrap but paying more than 4,000 for this car is just not justifiably correct. 😮😮
