    Does the S3 rear bumper and valance fit a standard sport?

    Cheers Nigel is £120 a good price for one? It appears to be the full bumper and valance but is there anything else I will need? I want to go along myself and check all the clips are ok and that theres no damage to it. If its all there I'm hoping it should be a fairly simple job of just unbolting...

    Does the S3 rear bumper and valance fit a standard sport?

    At some point my A3 has had a small crack repaired and the rear bumper sprayed. Although they made a good job there is a couple of small over runs in the clearcoat and in certain lights the colour appears slightly out,although it is only barely noticable and only when it is polished. I was...

    Speed Camera van :-(

    On the works Insignia the cruise contol is set at 85 which is nearer a true 80mph and never been pulled. I think with tollerances anything up to around 80 is ok on the dual carriagway. I was told they were set to allow 10% for calibration of speedometer but not sure how true that is.

    Nigel I sent you a PM yesterday but am not sure if you got it (do I need to get so many posts on here before I can use PMs?). If you could get back to me with a price that would be great. Spoke to Teesside Audi but got the feeling they were having my eyes out! I do have some pics of when I...
