im new, so not sure if this is actually right place for this

but this is my dolphin grey s3, owned it nearly 2 months, done a fair bit to it

had full passenger side, bonnet, bumper and boot plinth painted fitted genuine audi brakes all round.
fitted apex springs, i already had the wheels.
also sanded and polished the headlights as they were faded.
and a few other bits.

but anyways some pics

criticism good or bad welcome

Looks smart..I always fancied dolphin grey.Are they the 18" S4 Wheels?

Cheers bud, And yeah dolphin grey is my favourite s3 colour.
And yeah 18" s4/s6 wheels, genuine so running 20mm adapters all round
but rears need spacing a little bit more i think.
 
Wheels look class. Need to get some centre caps for em tho!! :p
 
got centre caps just not had time to repaint them, but hopefully be on by next weekend

Nice, car does look pretty sweet. Id love a set of S4s, but just cant bring myself to part with the cash for it to ride a bit worse... Then I see another photo of them on the S3 and I think twice!
 
Such a nice car! What's it lowered by?
thank you, and apex say 25mm but its more like 40mm

in all honesty there not that uncomfortable of a ride even with the 215/35 tyres.
and ive had the wheels about 4 years now, as i used them as winter wheels on my passat. but s3 came with a shocking set so
put the avus wheels on it.

if you're local to leeds, feel free to have a go to see what you think
 
and wow thanks guys never expected such a good response, makes me feel like i did the right thing and stick with it :yahoo:

Where in Leeds are you?

just on the outskirts of the city centre on scotthall road, whereabouts you based ?
 
Lovely car there mate! And I agree with prawn, best rims for the 8L!!
 
Very clean! i like this a lot, sits perfectly on the wheels as well. I kind of like the no center cap look aswell for some reason.
Lovely example :o.k:
 
I like the no center caps look! I have the avus wheels for my a4, also dolphin grey, and love them! It's a great combo. I think they look even better on the s3 though.

Also nice to see a few locals, even though you're all a3/s3 owners! Grew up in Horsforth, but moved over to Huddersfield a few years back.
 
Nice, I do like the dolphin grey and I was just about to say go centre cap-less, they look different and more rallyslag ;-)
I've done it on my mate on the s3 avus's, I just got a small centre cap for the middle of the wheel (50mm ish ) then put a lovely Audi badge on it ;-)
 
Like so

Lovely looking car, in the best colour too.
 
Yeah, Im in a sulk now. Two lush VAGs aint fair :p

What spacers did you use for the S4 wheels by the way? Really tempted by a set, but worried about wheel wobble etc...

cheers but tbh the rallye doesnt look like that at minute its in bits being rebuilt.

and i used fk 20mm adapters, haven't driven it hard tho but it feels normal when i drive.

on my passat i used H&R spacers they were excellent quality and lasted till the other day when i sold the car and they were on the car 6 years and wheels were always being changed or being taken off for sommat
 
You cool mother****er.

Dolphin grey S3 + S4 wheels = one of the best combos there is. Those wheels just never get old.
And that rallye, dont suppose you have a build thread on that too? I love the colour.


P.s. Is Leeds the new S3 capital of britain? It used to be gloucester.
