Hi,
Just picked up for the good Mrs Beancounter an A3 Cabriolet (1.2 TFSI S-Line Final Edition) in Ibis White, moving up from a Fiat 500.
Will pop some pictures up when I next clean it, but seems a nice car and very well spec'd.

Have previously had an A4 Cab S-Line and also an A6 S-Line Le Mans, will hopefully get on here and post a few threads.

Thanks guys, will be Mrs Bean's car, so won't get to drive it much, else it'll mean she gets to drive my car which I don't want

Have seen about getting S3/Alu pedals are there any simple mods for the A3 8P chassis I should check out ?

Yup, just about.
It's never going to win a drag race, but is as punchy as the 1.6 TDI (we TD'd both back to back) and will spend 95% of its life doing local trips, school runs etc, so is plenty fast enough for SWMBO
