A little more progress today with a test fit of the cabin plus some detail painting of the engine deck grills and windscreen frame.

Engine deck grills unmasked and polished. Passenger cabin glued in place and ready for the fraught process of fitting to the chassis.

Good luck with body to chassis, often difficult even with dry runs I find.

Body and chassis united with no ill effects. Just the lights, mirrors and other ancillaries to fit and that'll be it.

Don't forget, as it's an Audi you don't need to fit the indicators!!!

Same goes for BMW owners, they too don't use indicators.
Is it a 'German' thing?
Cheers,

No Kevin its not a German thing - its the size of your bank balance, the larger it is, the more you think oiks like me should know what you are going to do and should just get out of the way of the superior driver. 
Sorry to any BMW driver that is a normal sensible driver but the rest know who they are.

Sadly Msea, they won't.
If they cannot operate an indicator control, then they won't be able to use a computer....!!
