Hi I was posting on here some time ago, but then a few things changed in my life and my A3 fell down the list of priorities. Ive now managed to settle back down but unfortunately about the same time it developed a few more faults, specifically: The ABS light Gearbox grind Offside hub...

I'll be doing this soon to my VAG 18" alloys. Wicked thrad and wickd job!! My only suggestion is to de-badge or paint the rear ring badge on yours.

Orange boot spoiler FTW!

I ran mine via the bulkead hole, much the same as the coathanger way. I'd suggest threading a much thinner wire first, then use that as a lead to drag the power cables. No extra drilling is needed (as far as I'm aware) and I have 2 power cables. Once down, runs along the door carpet etc...

Too late - I've put a deposit down. Just kidding...

there are some pretty good pre-facelift all in one lights on fleabay, like these AUDI A3 95-03 CHROME TWIN ANGEL EYE HEADLIGHTS PAIR on eBay (end time 02-Apr-11 11:14:40 BST) I've toyed with the idea of R8 lights, but I'd steer clear. Im a 1998 A3, and a Essex chav.

One small note - My rear washer had never squirted properly, and when it did work, it woud take about 10 seconds of holding down the button. When I was fitting my second amp, I was runnng wires through the front bulkhead va the normal snap panel in the engine bay which leads to the hole behind...

seem to be OK. I bought a similar pair 2 years ago and they have lasted until now. Mine are still OK but it's time for a change, and my rear (non aero) had died a death. I think they're great, and the other benefit is the clip - they look quite sleek. A tenner seems really good for the set...

I just bought these. Came in one day and were a tenner for 3 AUDI A3 1996-03 FLAT WIPER BLADES 21"19"15A on eBay (end time 08-Apr-11 16:03:16 BST)

Just upgraded to Firefox 4 and it's started again. On my iPhone to get this trough. Meh.

I'm a 1.6 and am very hurt by some of these comments ;) Seriously, I'd go for looks and comfort rather than performance too. I've got bluetooth kit in mine, new seats, parking sensors and any other little luxuries I can add. Your car looks really nice - what's the interior? Lights...

Ha ha yeah. It's been refitted and all seems well. The fitter suggested that the bonding had come loose - I suppose it could have been much worse.
