    Used car warranties even from main dealers can be very restrictive, Audi being one of them. Brakes plus AC NOT normally covered and sometimes bad touch up resprays common on front bumpers especially if ex lease or fleet cars. A45 a nice car but aero kit a bit boy racer looking and it's a pity Mercedes didn't do wider arches for a more aggressive look with a better front bumper and nicer rear spoiler add on. I do like the grey colour and the alloys but grey or black calipers would have looked better. A45 service costs are huge with a major service at around £1000.

      I used to be in the furniture trade . It’s called bonded hide. The top surface is a mixture of ground leather upholstery off cuts and PVC . It’s allowed to be called leather as there is a leather content.
      The top surface becomes brittle due to use , conditions etc. it cracks and exposes the white base cloth. It’s not repairable and has to be replaced.
      I can’t believe a quality manufacturer would use bonded hide as durability is so poor. Penny pinching as usual.

    we got a glimpse of the man behind the camera! what sort of pay you reckon he gets? or people that do this sort of job? always wondered

      It’s part of the informal economy. One of those jobs that almost anyone could do, but with variable skill. Most of Calvin’s channel uses in car recordings on his own, using a mobile phone. I don’t know what device the outside guy was using. Might be the same.

    I offer salvage checks for £1 saves paying for Car Vertical when salvage photos aren't even on there
