Honest opinion?
Front - Spot on, looks excellent mate. I'd be dribbling seeing that in my rear view...
Rear - not great. Dont like it at all. Get an S3 rear bumper on it and a recess for the numberplate may soften things a bit, but that big gaping space on the boot where the grab handle and plate used to be looks, frankly terrible.

Front looks Nice. I'm not too keen on the side bits on the bumper but thats just me.
Side trims could do with being painted too...Looks half done with the black still black.
Rear. Put the number plat in a plate holder and whack it back in the stock location....its too smooth
Exhaust is sitting too low too.
You wanted honest opinions. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/goofy.gif

Top notch Mark, a bit much for me, but I am getting on now.......would look nice in beige with beaded seat covers!
I reckon it would look hard as nails in black, but that's to take nowt away from it, good work /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif

cheers for comments everybody i prefer peoples honest opinions,
exhaust hight was actually a bit of an illusion caused by the fact if you look closly in the pic the bumper actually curves upward, a people will tell you the previous owner of my car put a 6 inch exhaust on it and it had actually bent the bumper up slightly,
now as it was a must the exhaust went and i took the photos before i got home, i've just spent 15 mins on the rear bumper and the zaust sits perfect distance from the bumper, although might stick back a bit too far for some peoples liking
as for the number plate and side strip things they were going to get done anyway
any more comments welcome aslong as they dont repeat the things i'm already planning on doing

think you need that S3 rear bumper asap other than thet it looks well /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Looking good mate.
Is the front splitter staying now? As I think it looks good.
Also as stated I think the S3 rear bumper is required. How mucho are you paying for the re-spray? and who from?

You could always chop the ends of the trims off??
Excuse the bad photoshop skills.

lol if it ended up as neat as that i'm sure it could be a possibility as it'd go with the S3 rear but as they have grooves cut ito the bodywork it'd be easier just to spray the whole thing

Front: Best front view of A3 I've seen to date. Must agree would look awesome in rear view mirror.
Side: Like the Black sill strips. They break up the colour, where as all one colour might waste it.
Rear: Needs S3 bumper (Black 1 for sale on Ebay by the way). Not a fan of the smooth tailgate at all. Where were you planning to fit the number plate? New rear lenses might look better.
Might be an idea to leave side sills and rear (S3) Bumper insert Black and try to introduce a hint of black to the front bumper. Best bet would be to Photoshop some ideas and see what YOU like best. After all its you that has to live with it. Good work though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bravo.gif
