Thats no Moon, Thats a space station!
Thought i would post up a few piccies as i have basically completed alot of the things i wanted to do to the car over the summer.
First off i spent a few weeks refurbing my OEM RSTT`s as the previous owner i think was a bit of curb magnet so they were looking pretty sorry for themselves. So i sanded them down and filled the damage using chemical. After this had set i re sanded the wheels as flat as i could (weasnt easy as one wheel basically the whole outer lip was damaged). I didnt get the tyres removed so i masked them off and then it was painting time so they had a nice coat of primer (2 cans) then next was some BMW sparkling graphite paint (5 cans) and finally some lacquer (3 cans). Now i am defo not the best painter in the world and on very close inspection ints not the best paint job in the world but concidering it cost me £60 in materials and of course alot of el bow grease i am pretty please with the results :
Quick pic of my new Apexi FMIC installed with my fogs and grills back in place keeping that OEM look
A few more pics of this install in this thread : http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a3-s3-forum-8l-chassis/168515-fmic-fitted.html
Last is a cheap and cheerful one new my mini aeriel
