Damn, don't eve ask how it happened. Now I have huge scratch on tailgate, going from bottom through shiny rings and ending couple cents over that. I HATE IT!
It's right to white undercoat........Sad.....
I went to local Audi in Barrie and was quoted 560$ for repair. Includes complete tailgate repainting and reconditioning plus new emblem. Guy also said that two more emblems he can reuse (2.0T and Q5 Quattro)
Other option is to use touch up pain, which I ordered. Of course it won't be invisible.
What do you guys think about it? Any suggestions?

You can use guys like "touch up in a flash" or "colorworks". No need to repaint the whole lid.

Alex, did you have any experience dealing with them?
Colorworks website says that they come to my place to fix it..... Not sure how it's going to work.....

This week just getting better and better...... I drove on the highway, stone hit windshield - stone chip. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Car is 2 weeks old..... I'm mourning.....
Went to repair it, we'll see if it holds up. So windshield replacement might be on the horizon.
I just shake my head and can't believe my luck.
Anyone had windshield replacement experience on Q5?

They say bad luck comes on threes.....

Not helping.....

We used them a couple of times, especially good if you don't want to get the whole lid repainted.

That sucks : (

Thanks alex for quick respond. Touch up in the flash looks decent, but it's in 'ssauga - so likely not going to happen. Colorworks is in Barrie, not sure if I use them since guy coms to my place to fix and it's winter time and temp might be an issue.
I decided for not to get touch up paint and back Audi logo and fo to local Maco body shop or somtihing like and let them fix it. I know it won't look as new, but painting whole lid is a little bit overkill. Unless body shop will quote me close to Audi repaint job, then I'll go with them.

Sorry to hear about the chip, we picked up our vehicle on the same day and my only issue is black Q5 looks like salt shaker with the snow we've been having. Old vehicle had small crack in windshield from dump truck stone. It sounds like yours is repairable as not too big a crack. I brought my vehicle into Apple autoglass which fixed for about $100 and sent bill to insurance co., you pay nothing out of pocket and does not affect insurance rate. It's in your insurance company's best interest to cover repair as quite frequently if you do not repair eventually the crack will expand and complete windshield replacement is necessary. Also with regards to your paint scratch just use the repair paint stick and when you've accumulated more scratches and dings get them repaired all at once, you'll probably save some monies.
