My Sprint S3 :)

[DannoS3]

I bought her about a month ago, just clocked over 40k with me now. There's not a single mark on her to be fair! Apart from a bit of wear on driver's sear and a bluetooth phone kit in the dash

My wheels are getting painted black tomorrow, so will post piccies when done. I've had them repainted untill i decide what bigger wheels i want to go for

Ive bought a Miltek DeCat, and am on the hunt for a Miltek CatBack to match. Has anyone used the DeCat with a OEM Rear Section?
I'm also looking to get an Induction Kit (ITG, Neuspeed? any suggestions?)
And need a remap once these are fitted, also any recomendations with mapping, i may have openned a can of worms

Is there an optional grille available for an 07 S3? Like the honeycomb to match the fog trims

And finally, i want to get my hands on an RNS-E, is there different one's? and can they be used with the iPod dock in the glove?

Only things i've done are LED Sidelights and Numberplate Lights. I fancy a pair later rear lights too

Thanks in advance, and appologies for the questions

Anyhoo, here's some pics of my OEM Sprint

:thumbsup: Nice looking S3 you've got there.

Quick question, what LED number plate lights did you get, I'd like a set for mine

Lovely colour, very nice

Do you still have your Supra? My other half has recently bought 2 of them and is breaking one to add bits to the other and then sell everything else. He used to have a 700bhp model and wants to build a quicker one to run a 9 in, I feel like there's a third party in the relationship lol.

Enjoy.
Lauryn.

Thanks guys

Orfink, these are the ones i got off ebay eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

Yes i do still have the Supra..... she's a shell atm tho need to get my **** in gear and sell some of these other cars i got so i can fund it! Hopeing to hit 4 figures bhp wise we'll see how the wallet stands

gorgeous looking car mate
regards the decat and the oem back section... it can be done, but its not advised, as to run the decat youll need to be running at least stage 2 software and the exhaust system will need to be getting rid of a lot of gasses, so you should do it properly, but as a very short term solution it can be done

with the CAI dont bother with the neuspeed, its not the best, either go ITG or Evoms, maybe twintake as well, they are the 3 best so wouldnt waste your money elsewhere

for mapping, id recommend Evolve, have a lot at my sig and youll see my sepc and what its producing on stage 2... very impressive numbers and drivability

if your wanting that sort of grill... the only way is to get an RS6 grill and then get a bodyshop to custom fit it for you, a fair bit of work, but looks the nuts!

 

[MartayMcFly]

People have retro-fitted RS4 grills (the honeycomb kind), but it's not an Audi option. Check the FAQs sticky at the top of the forum, that'll answer most of your questions. And welcome!

 

[DannoS3]

Hi guys, thanks for all the info. Much appreciated!

 

[orfink]

Danno, cheers for the heads up on the LED's fella :thumbsup:

 

[James.Asbri]

Car looks great and sounds like you have a few good ideas.

Enjoy and keep us updated.

Danno, cheers for the heads up on the LED's fella :thumbsup:

Share the wealth/link? I'm after a set too (of plate LEDs, I already have sidelights), so long as they're error free and an easy install.

Looks great, I do like black wheels. Slap that tire dressing on.

Bulbs turned up today and I fitted them this evening and all good. No bulb errors and they aren't too bright either. Not bad for a tenner!

Optics + Black Mirrors will set this off a treat

^^^^ +1 ^^^^ :icon_thumright:

 

[RicoS3]

As said here, you need the optics and black mirrors too on Sprint if going black wheels IMO. Checks it...

It's looking good though bro.

 

[N8]

Stop showing off!

 

[DannoS3]

I'll either get my grille painted black, or find an RS6 Grille

Car looks sweet Rico!

hubba bubbaaaaa

Totally agree - of course I am biast too P) but black wheels coupled with black mirrors is a gorgeous combo!

 

[RAPS3]

Personally I prefer shiney shiney with sprint.

Dont get me wrong it Looks well- I just prefer silver over black


Welcome to S3 ownership


Shameless plug warning - I have a twintake in the classifieds for sale

 

[MartayMcFly]

The LEDs I ordered didn't work, and now the original bulb ones don't work either. I tried both LEDs first and it didn't work so swapped for one of each and one combination worked, but now no combination works and neither do the original ones. FML.

 

[BasitK]

Danno S3,

Give us a shout if you ever want to sell the Milltek decat.

Cash waiting.

 

[Kash3838]

good choice of colour, looks like mine... now its time to mod!
evolve remap!!! awesome
update rear lights..... try and get a flat bottom and rnse also if you can! flat bottom is a must though!!

 

[5pot]

Nice looking S3 you have there.. Intake wise have a look at the Forge & ITG :icon_thumright:

 

[DannoS3]

Bit of an update

Got my grille, lower trims of bumpers painted black. Debating wether to paint the fog grille's same, or just coat them in gel

I've got a Milltek on order too. All needs now is CAI, Service, Cambelt, Front discs and pads, rear pads and a remap

Appologies for the poor quality

 

[DannoS3]

Milltek fitted oh my word what a noise !!!

 

[RedDejavu]

great car mate however for some reason I hate all performance exhaust tailtips they fit but OEM. They just dont look like they fit the car :/.

 

[sean s-line]

very nice s3 m8, love the wheels. welcome

 

[poli84]

Looks good mate, i bet you are loving the sound of the Miltek.

Quick question, did you body shop have any issues with painting your grill? Are you happy with the final result?
I took mine in last week to get a quote on having the grill painted and I was told that they wouldn't be able to do a very good job and recommended I buy a new grill that was already painted.
