Solent Wheels include tyre removal, refitting, new valve and balancing in their price ;) . Phil

Well I've had the car a year (although the photos above were taken when new ;) ) and I think it's wearing pretty well. It's certainly not as bright as when I picked it up, but it's also not looking grubby. The main problem that I had with it was when I spilt some dirty water onto the rear squabs...

Do you mean like this? Phil

Sorry, don't have code as I chose it from about 4000 possible colours. I tried to match it with the bumper trim Here are a couple more shots of the end result: Phil

Not mobile, but http://www.solentwheels.com/ in Ampfield do a fantastic job :cool: . Not cheap mind, at £70 for 18"s, but worth every penny in my book :) . Here's a photo of my colour coded ones that they just done for me... Phil

Try Motorsportworld or Europerformance ;) . Phil

I currently have a BMC panel on my S3 with a GIAC remap. I would certainly say that the filter helps to improve the engine's breathing, but not massively so ;) . Worthwhile for the modest outlay, but I will be getting the EVOMS shortly, plus an uprated exhaust, which should unlock much more of...

Yes, I asked for and was actually offered a discount :faint: ! Phil

Actually, while I'm posting, here are the part nos.: 8P3 945 095A (tail light - left 2 doors - left hand traffic only) 8P3 945 096A (tail light - right 2 doors - left hand traffic only) Phil

I've been quoted under £150 from my dealer, but OEM Parts via S3-Talk will be cheaper still ;) . I believe that they also have some in stock, as they e-mailed me about my previous interest about a week ago. Phil

I would imagine that this would be quite tricky, and probably a bit of a bodge to do. There is some work going on with Tubi to develop something for the S3 8P, which should be very good quality and hopefully sound :yum:! Phil

I found EBC at https://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=R248DP31946CR&a=i and they're cheaper than Performance Brakes ;) . Green Stuff would be no good on such a powerful car (trust me, I tried them on my old Coupe :sadlike:!), so it would have to be Red or Yellow, but as JamS3 says, warming may be...

Where did you find the Mintex and/or EBCs for sale, as I can't seem to find any, even on their own websites :( ? Phil

Hmm, just checked their website and they don't list for the S3 8P :( . Phil

Do Pagid do them for the S3? Blues would be a good compromise for fast road/occasional track use, or even Greys or Yellows if you drive particularly hard ;) . I used to use Yellows on my 300bhp Fiat Coupe and they were great on track and reasonable on the road. Not sure about on a S3 though...
