Rather stupidly I left a 5 litre tin of paint in the boot of my Audi A5 (64 Plate). It split and hey presto, 5 litres of matte emulsion covering the front section of the boot.

Rather than going to Audi and paying through the nose to get it sorted, i'm wondering if anyone knows of anywhere (within an hour or two's drive from Sheffield ideally). That would be able to replace the boot lining interior and spare wheel cover.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Used spares from eBay or a breaker will be much more cost effective than a trimmer.

If 2nd hand isn't an option, try TPS, which supply the Dealers.

Isn't the "front section of the boot" actually the backs of the rear seats - that could be tricky...

For the otehr parts, water-based emulsion should pretty much wash out if you can remove trim pieces and hose them down.

A rubber bootliner would hide any issues with the floor, as well as helping to prevent a re-occurrence... wink

Yes, ebay for 'A5 breaking' and find a dismantler who'll strip what you need.

TPS under instruction from on high 'trade only' these days.

Take the carpet out and jet wash it?

Bought stuff from them less than a month ago, I'm not trade.
