Superb! Looks well tidy. We definately need a wee photo shoot. They'll look like an angry brother and sister combo. I might have to talk to your carbon boy as they look very professional indeed. Good effort.

omg the mirrors. It's not the 1st time I've asked but can you force this guy to do the mirrors please!!! Lol
That black optics grill + Mirrors + drop = bang tidy! It's the best yellow S3 I ever saw!
That looks great Paula, wasn't to sure if it could be pulled off but you've managed it! I wish I had money to carry out some cosmetic mods but I need to pay the damn thing off
Guys, a few peeps have said to me today that I need to have the front lip and rear diffuser painted black, but I am really not sure about this. I think the grey of the front lip looks good against the dark anthracite of the wheels and think that the grey lip says "S3" to me. I have a satin black diffuser in the garage, but have hummed and aah'd about fitting it for ages. What do you think I should do? Black lip or leave? Thanks in advance
Carbon skin them, finish it off nicely!
Ian's looks the dogs nuts, I would consider it. Your Astra was immense with the carbon mobs, I bet whoever had that after you was very happy!
WOW im in love with your car paulie that looks amazing the carbon mirrors really suit it
i only like a few yellow cars and the/your S3 is defo one of them but like you say with the black touches it makes a bit of a mean looking car well done you keep the good stuff coming .x

I'll be honest Paula, I thought the 18's looked a little small earlier but I reserved judgement until the springs were on and it now looks perfect. All you need now is a carbon fibre engine cover!
The colour of the wheels, the CF mirrors and Forge twintake suit the Imola Yellow really well :thumbsup:
18" does work. But only once lowered. The H&R springs give it just about enough drop to pull them off.. Just like mine.
First photo is going to be my secondary work monitors background! Secondary because thats the one where u actually see the desktop
+1 but after hes done my mirrors!!

paulie looking the dogs cant wait till mine is looking as good as yours
If it were me, I'd leave the front splitter and rear valance, it breaks up the two colours. Either that or remove the front grey strip and struts between the two prongs. I'm not sure you can, possibly just unscrew it, but I think it'd look more aggresive. If removed, carbon the rear valance and whack it on.
So there you go, total confusion and indifference! Leave it as is, or completely change it if the front unscrews!? I need to stop drinking and go to bed.
OMFG!!! that has to be the best yellow S3 i have seen... its too damn sexy! that grill, alloys and mirrors well done Paulie!
Love the stance on that... and when it settles in its going to look even better.
Carbon the front splitter and rear valance! those final little touches make all the difference. i wasnt a big fan of carbon until you wrapped your fog surrounds but seeing those mirrors
how much did your friend charge you for them?? tell him there is lots of money to be made on that and he should start doing some for the guys here!

Yeah on OE suspension I think BBS 18's look a little small because of the design of them but once you close the gap in the arch they look spot on
all you need now is some yellow lambo calipers like JonnyC's TTRS and then its perfect!
Big brakes would look brilliant. I will be adding the K Sports to the Audi S3 page on our site soon. They will be the same price as the Astra VXR ones that are on there now. Excellent value.
just to throw in my 2p'w worth when it comes to brakes
the VWRs im running (re-badged project mu) are staggering! half the weight of the S3's and can take an endless amount of punishment, with great pedal fell and no travel what so ever, they are now using a re-badged caparo set up which i have also heard fantastic things about, other offerings are AP and alcon applications, personally those are the only ones i would touch, steer very very clear of TTRS brakes, they are useless! RS4 (same as what lambo use) fronts are doable with some modification, but you will need a new master cylinder as well to accommodate the new piston ratios, the down side to them as well is they are very heavy
whatever you go for, make sure they are yellow!
Paulie....Your just going to have to get your mate to give us all instructions on how to do mirrors
Just caught up with you pics you posted yesterday and have to say you have nailed it on the classy looks without being OTT I demand some picture from under the bonnet once your cover arrives strangly my new No Plate is **11 OTT.......And i havnt started on it yet
