Good work Chris, some great improvements, the black gloss in the engine bay plastics makes a massive difference.

 

[AndyParker]

Only just seen this thread - some great touches on the car!! Really come a long way

Looking good Chris, didn't you get that RS3 fake bumper? Or am I thinking of someone else? Anyway, back needs to come up or the front needs to come down

Takes a big man to admit it, but well done, your car looks tasteful as it is, what custom setup you going for? Just get H&R 140mms from Still Static bro and you'll be ballin

[euphoria]

Car looks so spot on! Mine currently has black grill, wing mirrors, wheels are gettin refurbished soon also black , and I have been thinking of a colour change! This orange looks great! Not sure it's worth doing on my 119k 2006 A3 tho :-/

 

[TDI140]

Nice progress mate im jus wondering did the open cone filter make any different to performamce on a tdi ?

 

[tr1ck]

Really good read this thread. Couple quick questions does the front grill part just I clip from the bumper and do you need to take the bumper off to do it?
And the rear audi badge is that stuck on? And where did you get the black one from?
Thanks

 

[chris1988brown]

hi mate
sorry for late reply
the first time u remove the grill you have to remove the bumper as they are two scres from behind holding it on , leave them out then next time you wont have to remove bumper

and the badge is just stuck on ye, i got mine from ebay

chris

Great update mate .....:icon_thumright:

How does the "custom jetex cat back system with TT-RS style tip" Sound ? Any difference in sound ?

 

[batch]

That is STUNNING! Excellent work!

 

[nik patel]

Nice A3!! any more plans?

cheers mate, the exhaust is quieter than the miltek , but that is because i got the resonated system this time round as the noise gets abit much traveling long miles to shows, however out the car the jetex sounds awesome i'll get a video when my go pro suction cup turns up

Nice A3!! any more plans?

cheers mate, the list is endless mate, once the stance n height is right wheels refurbed and seat are in , it will be time to save for interior retrim / more carbon parts , then will be doing the face lift conversion

cheers for the comments guys apprecite them

Looks very nice, more pictures of the rear please. Got a question, Is this still the same car? 2.0TDI? Because how on earth can the exhaust be load, It's not possible is it?... how? When I got a straight pipe for my 2.0TDI, turbo whistle got louder and got slight deeper growl but with windows close, median-low volume music, exhaust noise almost disappears.

 

[mookster]

Watch out, the giant butterfly net's going to get you!!

 

[gogz s3]

Very nice pal.

What colour are your doing your wheels?
