    Chops S4 thread

    I was hoping for better news, you are where I am at, however got to find a solution as that chrome has got to go. I can paint, have my own paint facilities, I just need to get the bits off the car. Was looking at painting roof bars on, just make sure you mask properly as any edges will lift and...

    Chops S4 thread

    How did you get on with operation black out on the roof bars and the window trims, did you take them off, if so was it a major job to get roof bars and trims on and off without damaging them? Local dealer told me virtually impossible to get window and window/gutter rail trims off without...

    19" wheels (Audi OE) on S3 Magnetic Ride Issue

    Test drove saloon ( I am buying Sportback though) with mag ride and 19" wheels to make sure I was fine with mag ride. Liked it, (it was ok) I would probably drive it on hardest setting and just use soft when had passengers. Nearly ready to press button on new car just want to check I can get...

    19" wheels (Audi OE) on S3 Magnetic Ride Issue

    That colour blue Nogaro and wheel combo would look good on an S3, now you got me thinking! I guess that would be a £2k option for special colour?

    19" wheels (Audi OE) on S3 Magnetic Ride Issue

    I could be up for that, your wheels are second on my list of preferred A4 wheels, only 2 on the list! my intention to paint wheels black and leave the spokes silver - on a black car. Will the wheels come with tyres, if so what are the tyre make and size. Do you 18" of my new S3 when it arrives...

    19" wheels (Audi OE) on S3 Magnetic Ride Issue

    I have done a bit of research overnight and think I will go with the mag ride now, not cheap but getting it wrong could be a major issue and I really want 19" wheels. Seen dealer this morning, they/Audi won't spec/fit 19" from an a4 as a new option from factory, so will have to buy 19"...

    S-Line Vs S3 Suspension

    Thanks veeight, I had been searching using '19" wheels' as I want to fit 19" wheels and can't understand why I have to have mag ride on either an s3 or sline Sportback. I have just searched under 'suspension' and see I have some reading/research to do. Annoying really as I was due to take demo...

    S-Line Vs S3 Suspension

    My old shape 2.0 Tdi SLine with sports suspension that has 18" wheels and had the OE option of being 10mm lower than standard SLine sports suspension feels firmer and better than the S3 demo (with 18" wheels and no mag ride) that I have tonight. Most odd!

    19" wheels (Audi OE) on S3 Magnetic Ride Issue

    Buying a new S3 Sportback and I want to put 19" wheels from the A4 on it so was looking to go with 19" wheels from S3 then swap. Configuration and dealer (and their technical) are saying you have to have magnetic ride on 3 door and Sportback but not saloon. I don't want to pay the additional...
