Afternoon all
Nice sunny day, day off work so thought I would remove the rear diffuser and plastidip it

Removing the diffuser was a pig, don’t know how I’m going to get the side 2 x screws back in, need baby size hands to fit in the gap 😰

Probably won’t refit today so will post pics of it fitted tomorrow 👍 also fitted rear boot lip spoiler in gloss black

Plan is to paint the side blades black as well and dechrome the window trim 👌

I left the screws off john 👌

I had a bottle of G Techniq trim restorer in the garage which I was going to restore the trim on my old A5, so thought I’d have a go around the rubber / plastic trims in the doors, the rubber round the door shuts were minging and green, so made a huge difference

My favourite / cheapest mod of all is the good old “Magic Eraser, this thing is the nuts and gets your steering wheel looking like new and for £2 it’s a no brainier !!!

Before

after

Looks and feels like a new steering wheel 👌

Next up wrap the side blades and chrome window trim black, then look at doing something with the front grill, would like the black edition-grille but seem hard to find, if anyone has one knocking around Would be interested 👍

Enjoy the rest of the weekend all

The diffuser is looking great. What’s the durability of plasti-dip like and is it giving decent gloss finish

My last A5 had plasti dipped boot spoiler / trim around roof, durability is very good and with the Glossifier works well, the new stuff has Gloss effect in the can so even easier, went for 5 x coats in the end

The diffuser looks great, I have been meaning to do mine for a while.
Thanks for the reminder

Take a picture once done 👌

Good tip for cleaning the steering wheel, I want to get the stitching back to pure white rather than slightly grubby.

Here's my diffuser I made in my garage

Looks like a Reiger one, much better than stock one 👌
