What a stunner, Murray! Absolutely love what you've done. With Eibach fronts and some FSD's on there and the ride will be tremendous! Beautiful, beautiful car! Paula xx

where did you buy your eibach pro kit mate? Think this might be my choice of springs for my s3 instead of the H&R's. I cant justify the price of coilovers and only want to bring the front down a little as the rear arch sits nice IMO
Gave the car a bit of a clean today as the weather was nice.
All comments welcome
I agree with you man. After fitting 19"s I feel that only the fronts need to drop about 20-25mm
Hey Muzza....
Absolutely love the back end now... Certainly beefed it up a bit eh!?
On the colour aspect tho.... Is that a black at the bottom on this... And if so would you say its a gloss black or more matt...
See this is the next project on my car... 'Rear valance' well after bonnet respray and paint correction (thats booked in for the end of the month) if i'm going gloss black with it, then its a gloss black B pillar vinyll for me aswell... Cheers in advance

so I was thinking the other day that I should take off my rear spoiler and paint the underside to match the rear valence like the RS3 spoiler. i haven't seen anyone do this yet and I thought it would be an attractive mod. Any thoughts?
I'm really interested to see the grille surround in alu I'd be tempted to do the same on mine.

Superb Muzza80, but I may be a tad biased...
Mines the Cornflower blue with gloss black rear valance and chrome pipes S3_Jacko, and that works best for me. OK, so I've pulled the badges (just for fun! of course), but here's blue (one the same as Muzza's I'd guess) with silver and black rear valance - together:
I think the 'black' valance visually lowers the car; but hey, don't ya just love the way the A3 Sportback looks anyway...
I had a bash at gloss back wrapping the b pillars and failed so ripped it off and took the paint off the b pillars so just gave in and ordered the gloss black pillars from the dealers was £85 for two great buy love gloss black highlightsI've just been ordering up some samples of vinyl to try and get a good match of the colour of the wing mirrors and rear diffuser. I'm going to wrap the front splitter section and also the little top strip of the door handles like the RS3 matt alu styling pack has.
Also ordered some gloss black vinyl for the sections betweeen the doors (b pillars?) and the little triangle on the rear doors.
they look great pal much cheapness too how did ya get the covers off? was it an easy job?
So removed them and wrapped them, pretty easy job if a little fiddly to get bang on but I think they turned out great and the total cost was about 50p worth of vinyl.
Going to order a big sheet of the same stuff and do the front grille surround then the lower front splitter part, possibly the fog light rings too.

Your car is stunning, been following your posts on the RS3 forum.
Never actually seen an RS3 in sprint blue either, looks lovely, who's car is that?
Hello mte can you tell me if the Rs3 grill goes straight fit to 2010 reg 8p sport back cheers car look really nice.
That is a great little mod; top work. Nicely done too.

Have to say your car is prob the best looking s3 I've seen...and that's coming from someone who is not a fan of loud colours on cars with class.
Muzza, have you not given thought to fitting the RS front bumper and wings... Not exactly a rep but will look ace!?
Maybe work in progress...?
There's a few more key things I want to sort on it in the next month or two like a few cosmetic bits, brakes, MPSS tyres, springs & ALK fitted with a hunter alignment, dampers and perhaps an exhaust downpipe with sports cat to remove the restriction.
After that's done I just want to enjoy it for a while, get it on track a good few times over the summer and just try and kurb the spending a bit as we're trying to sell two flats and buy a house by the end of the year so money needs to go to that.
I plan keeping the car for another 4 years at least so don't want to go all out and do everything I can to the car in the first year of ownership (like I've done to my last 4 cars) then get bored after 18 months. So never say never but at this moment at least that's not something I plan doing to the car.
Thanks
The SB is easy, off with a little cover at the bottom and two torx screws on each.
The 3 door is a little harder as they're riveted on so you need to drill them out then replace the rivets.
i thought the B pillars were riveted on ?
