looks good mate. next time your doing some pics take few of rear mate thanks

Cheers fella as requested some quick photos from a few weeks ago :)

:sly: i was going to say the same it seems that benskin doesn't like the rear :eyebrows:

the car looks sik i love it

Lol i dont like the rear haha! I think its boring only a 2009 Black Edition/S-line rear bumper.
Thanks for the comment :)

Lovely looking car fella!
Got a noobie question though..how you get your headlights darkened?


Thanks Daws, as Fran said Lamin-X i got mine off ebay usa
 
Nice car mate! what type of tint is it on the front is it subtle tint or gun smoke?
I want to do the same to my A6 but not that dark.i hope yours are gun smoke! lol

cheers!
 
Will update this thread over the next week if everything goes to plan with a few mods

ah i want your rear bumper! MY CAR COMES TOMORROW WOOHOO

You have it now :) Just needs to be fitted and those little pieces make sure you get some photos up once its done!

Loving the signature pic Ash


Cheers fella :)
 
Ok well was hoping to update this thread with a few mods i've been working on but its not gone to plan so more delays and will have to wait as cash is tight. Just a few random photos from march to present.
Forgot to say sold the S3 brakes to a member on here as im currently not working and they wont be going on any time soon thought it was just cash laying around and i can always grab another set once i'm working.

My A3 & a standard S-line. Want to get a photo next to another SE so i can see the difference.

Yes Rich ahh things are alright could be better lol 2011 been a bad year for me so far haha. I've not done much really, i've started two exterior mods but they wont be finished till im working again. Your car looking really good mate, lowered and she a winner:wub:
Main mods to come will be new set of wheels but in 19s, new front grill and new suspension :)

I know its been a while since you seen it. Cheers War:happy: Front end should look alot better with the new grill.
 
Hiya mate, as you know i plan to do something similar with the black look. Came across some smoked indicator lights on the web the other day, have you thought of putting them?

Yeah thought about them just not got around to buying a set yet. If you get a set fella send me a photo once you fitted them :happy:
 
Theyre not on my radar just yet. Got the grill, just need to buy new plates and lamin-x first before putting it all together. Im pretty sure the smoked indi's were £20 from an aftermarket site, defo gonna give them a bash though!
 
Thanks for the props on me car... Mucho gracias :) Sorry to hear about your bad start to the year, hope the 2nd half is kinder to you mate.
What grill you putting on the car then? An RS style one? I seen you are selling your coilovers on ed38. You have better coils or gone back to standard?
 
No update all mods been placed on hold. Mot this month aswell as renewal on my insurance :-| Ohh and a service, cv joint and brake pads!
Ahh i need a job to feed my addiction:( Anyway went to the BKK meet on sunday was a good turn out and a good day. Just some random photo's over the last week. Will be having another photoshoot soon but this time with 3 other local members :happy:

Some little b@st@rd stole the honeycomb effect in my rear bumper. Second time its happened in 2 years :| Not going to bother replacing them as i'll have a new bumper soon so if any one after a BE/S-line rear bumper drop me a message.
