I had them on my A3, great tyres, but got discernably more noisy after 5k miles.

£386 p/m??? That's a ****** bargain!

Don't paint the face of the hub though! A 'professional' detailer on Detailing World posted photos of a Ferrari he did where he painted the face of the hub! I asked why he painted the face and he said 'why do half a job'.....hilarious.

Thanks for the heads up, will fill up there tomorrow

That's a bargain with tyres....get them bought!

EXO should go on before wax, as it bonds better to bare paint. Some like to add wax on top, but it's not strictly necessary.

Polished Bliss guides are good as well. Junkman vids on YouTube are great for first time machine polishers.

I'd heard he only has red!

The rim is diamond cut and you can only re-cut it a few times, depending on the depth of re-cut required. You can use clear nail varnish to seal it, ask the missus first though!

There's no reason why the OP can't remain the legal owner of the vehicle.

That does seem very expensive. When I had my A3 2.0TDI (150) S-Line SB with a few options I was paying £365 p/m with a £1k deposit. It was based on 10k miles p.a. Can your Dad buy the S3 outright for you and you pay him back cash in hand? Or would he be willing to take out a loan so you can...

Are you still thinking of getting one Rick?

Nice one Rick, glad it all went to plan!

I think the gold wheels would look awful IMO. Great colour, but I think I'd have stuck with Java. Hope you enjoy the car!

+1 for Shop n Shine, great prices and customer service. Bonus for me is that they're based a mile from my work, so I can collect and save on postage.
