cracking looking car lauryn, thats my first choice of colour, but my better half fancies black, just started the search yesterday for 1.
Nice ride, for wheels i'm gonne go crazy and say oxigin oxrock
:
I'm just not digging them at all I'm afraid
Yea the are hit and miss, i've never been to sure of them myself. Just wanted to see them on an S3, guess photoshop would be less painfull
I agree with Ash.. Get the L222RYN, at least then if you ever need to change it to another car, you still can....?Is anyone good with photoshop etc? I'm going to assign one of my private plates on to the car but can't decide whether or not to stick with S3 EPO or put my 'name' plate on which is L222RYN

Do you not fancy a Sprint Blue one? I don't think you should buy orange, seeing as you're local and all that lol. I'm the opposite, I love the colour of mine but my other half thinks it's a bit too garish for him, he likes black cars, nice and subtle.
Lol true, thank you.
I found this photo on here the other day, quite tempted by some S5 wheels and these confirmed my thoughts
Lauryn
S5 Wheels look great but at a 32offset they wont fit an S3.. Right?
S5 wheels look great and keep it looking oem, oh and i prefer your name on the plate instead of the S3.
What is epo anyways?
first you wanna remove badges and de wiper it thats everyone's first move with a new car ;D
I have a spare plate now lol, S3 EPO (I have no idea what EPO means).Shortened plates always look good. I need a private plate for my car If you want the S5 alloys just keep an eye out for a set that come off the MK2 TT (TTS) or B8 A4 they are oem style ones so better than buying replica's. Do it if you dont like the carbon can always take it off.
Did you sell the old car after Laur? And how you finding the new car?
Hey Lauryn just a little tip, but you might not want to polish the car too often as polish strips away the paint, evne if it's only a little eventually it'll eat away most of the paint.
You should think about investing in some nice wax to keep the car shining it'd be a shame to see such a nice example end up wrongly looked after. Wax will protect the car and keep it shiny too so just some food for thought.
I put the chopped number plates on my car with my private reg. They aren't illegal if they have approved lettering and are the right size and have the required spaces. They make the S3 look alot wider especially at the back!
Here's some pics of mine:
I got the lettering in Carbon Fibre in the legal font. I ordered it from:
SCOTTISH FLAG Number Plates - Scotland Saltire Alba on eBay (end time 30-Jun-11 11:34:16 BST)
Its a company in Glasgow, and if you message him he will send you pics of what your number plate will look like. I didnt go for the Scotland/ Euro flag on mine though.
I also wrapped my B-Pillars in the Carbon Fibre Wrap:
They are really easy to put on and look great and work well with the carbon lettering on my number plate.
I got the carbon wrap from here:
Carbon Fibre Wrap vinyl vinyal 500mm x 1500mm FREE P&P | eBay UK
You just get the wrap (without taking the back off) and measure it round the pillar then cut it. Use degreaser on the pillars then with the help of another person, lift up a little of the backing off the wrap, stick down and gently lift off the backing whilst your mate uses a credit card or something simliar to stop any air bubbles and stick down. Use a hair dryer on the edges to blend it round. Its dead easy really, plus the wrap is very durable and if you get it wrong you can lift it up and start again without the backing losing any 'stickyness'.
Hope that helps,
Ewan
