S3 Re-furbishments !

[s3-josh]

so im just wondering how much refurbs would cost for 3 parts of my S3?

1) 18" rstt wheels refurbed?

2) car paint job detailed/ touched up?

3) just for the sake of it ! : cream interior re-trim?

just curious to know how much it would cost to make the car mint !

cheers! :icon_thumright:

well your probably looking at around £200 - £250 for the wheels,
Id imagine anywhere between £80 - £200 for a full car detail,
And the interior, well probably anything from £500 - £2000+

Not cheap but would definately be worth it!
But maybe with the interior, it could be a lot cheaper to look out for a mint 2nd hand set to come up and sell yours on...

i know several people that do wheel refurbs @ £30-40 a pop..... they do decent jobs aswell....one does the jobs for Audi in sheffield...forecourt work...... the retrim is defo an expensive job...plus you'd lose the recaro emblem....

Anyone got any decent pics of Avus wheels refurbed in Anthracite or similar colours?

Fancy doing mine at some point.

got my old 19" rs6 wheels refurbed by a company called lepsons who did a fantastic job for £258.

You won't loose the embossed Recaro if you use somebody decent...

I had a set of Golf GTI Mk4 Recaros modified to fit my Mk3, then half leather trimmed to keep the original 'Anniversary' cloth, front and back seats done..and the Recaro logo was re-embossed onto the front seats.
MJ Interiors did the work...they did a fine job, and the best advert for the interior is the fact that many people have commented they they didn't know the Mk3 Anniversary had a half leather option from the factory, so good is the work.

Not cheap though...I'd bet on around £2000 for front and rears in a different colour.

 

[1animal1]

Ah, TBH Ess i wasn't sure entirely....would the Recaro be as standard or a 'version' of...i presume that this would come down to cost if it could look original

 

[Ess_Three]

I suppose it comes down the the quality of the stamps the trimmer is using...mine looks fine to me.

 

[1animal1]

Thats useful Ess,cheers for that

Mine have a few marks on the bolsters and wasnt sure if they would want to do the whole seat or not....not wanting to lose the Recaro part...i havent actually approached a firm yet

CheeRS,

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the pic. Dark avus' look great.... Black wheels are a lovely contrast on a bright colour. I heard that black wheels really show the dirt though, and need to cleaned regularly.

I had my 9 year old 16" 5 spoke of my 1.8T sport refurbed a couple of weeks ago. They were in a bit of a state but they came back with a factory finish after two days from A1 in Bilston. I wasn't cheap at £70 each but they look like new again. They do a cheaper wet coat option but I think its worth spending the extra for the powder finish.Cheers

does anyone know if Audi can re-trim the alacantra seats? my passenger side, bottom half of the seat needs re-doing wondering how much it would cost.

any ideas?

 

[1animal1]

a fortune probably, ask Ess three...i think he has some contacts who are able to sort this kind of thing ....id say look for some used seats...but finding that combi would be pretty tough
