the blue look very similar to estorilblue

This may be a silly question...but does Audi have the service facilities worldwide to repair aluminium structures? I know that they have to go to big efforts when it comes to repairing A8s, but TTs will be selling in infinitely greater numbers, be getting pranged and needing repairs for tricky aluminium...

^Isnt that what the body shop is for? If your bending the frame then you'd take your car to the body shop, right?
P.S. Funny signature!

I believe aluminium takes a lot more skill to work with, not just any metal worker at a body shop knows how to deal with it.

yep, hence the repair costs for a 5er or 6er's front bumper.

Aluminium cannot be welded like steel and requires special techniques to mend. My accountant has new A8 and his son did some serious damage to it at the end of last year. It took 9 weeks to fix it and that was with attention from Day 1 of it being towed back in. At least in Sydney, am not sure if Audi currently has the resources to deal with large scale aluminium repairs.

Thankyou! I must credit AlxAmg for the initial inspiration for the idea back on the GCF forums.

Very true. I've heard of people avoiding buying the A8 because there are simply very few shops willing or able to service aluminium bodies.

What a great rear lights ... I like how Audi implemented the LED technology ... much better than MB which used it first ..

Woah! That's really cool.

I'm not sure if those are LED lights though. Looks as though those could be common bulbs encased in a really cool housing.
