changing to a FBMFSW on an S3

[Ash B]

Just realised Smoothie and Benskin already hi-jacked !!!

The sline sills will not fit over the S3 skirts, end of, the S3 sills are taller as they actually go over the top of the skirts that actually fit over the area where the seals sit anyway, the Sline sills are to short as in height, trust me smoothie it isnt going to happen, need to buy S3 sills.

You see any threads id been using to find out parts etc guys were saying they modded the S-line ones to fit, so i didn't order the S3 ones but then when the skirts came i had serious doubts as it was clear the S3 ones would have to go over that part of the skirt and they were clearly not big enough, so kind of figured that i was gonna buy the S3 ones lol

But thanks for clearing that up mate, i must get the part numbers sorted for those! Would there be any changes in the S3 sill plates or skirts for that matter from the 2006 - 2010? Just i know of one S3 sill plate from 2010 car going cheap

ps - sorry for hijack friends lol

Buy new as removal always distorts the alum insert given the double sided tape sticks like a weld & remove all traces of existing double sided tape from the car prior to fitment of new sills as it may not sit flush.

This one is new, don't know how he came across it! So would it suit? Also thanks for the advice on removing the old ones, if i'm honest i will get the bodyshop to do it but clear instructions to fitting them will keep them right

Hi,

So my friend. Have you managed to retrofit FBMFSW to your 04 A 8P? I was hoping to get MF but i'm seing more and more people that say no to this mod...
Can you help if you've done it?

Best regards.

hi jungleman what big brake kit bit you get ,,yeah so jealous but going to keep mine standard for now...

 

[jungleman]

ive gone for the Volkswagen Racing kit, forged callipers, 2 part rotors & bells, should be pretty savage... if its good enough for a 500hp S3, should be good for my 345 one haha the big plus is that rather then the 24kg per side for the standard S3 set up, the VWR kit is 11kg per side, so when driving quickly, turn in should be a lot sharper
haha thats what i said when i first got mine and joined this forum... 6ish months later... well u can see what ive done, worth every penny tho!
