So I've asked a few question regards my newly purchased S3, finally got round to getting some pics.

I've had the car about 6 weeks, two previous owners and 66k on the clock.
In that time the following has been done.

cambelt
Water pump
Oil and filter
Oil pick up pipe
Plugs
Haldex service
Spark plugs

All four wheels have been refurbished and 4 new vredestein tyres put on.

Up front 10mm spacers and 15 on the rear.

running out of cash now but there's still more on the cards.

I will be purchasing 20mm springs all round.
badger 5 tip and filter, milltek and decat and potentially a front mount.
Obviously a remap by yoda himself mr badger5!

Above are the rotifotms I'd love for the car!!
 
really nice colour that, and looks so mint aswell
 
Cracking car mate but I'm bias as I have a kingfisher A3 lol
 
I agree with av4nt on the wheels sorry. Having said that its your car so who cares what i think.
Rest of the plan is a good idea but be warned if you go springs only and you shocks arent 100 % your end up with a bad ride. I had this and it was more bouncy than oem plus it would bang if i hit bumps or small holes. Wasnt good. Just a heads up though
 
The wheels were just an idea it's not going to happen.

First mid today a forge new style recirculating valve.

I wanted the Bilstein shocks as well but I'm going to have to wait so will do springs first.
Is there a decent cheaper spring shock set that any one recommends?

Never seen that colour before, looks good.

Get it a bit lower, get them Rotiforms and it'll look perfect!
 
Is there a decent alternative set up to the Billstein or are they in a league of there own?
 
Wheels look great I was looking at compomotive th lines which are similar
 
Kingfisher, Nogaro Blue and Silver, my fave colours!!

Car looks sweet mate, the 'dream' wheels look spot on as well, really suit the car.

Bubba, where did you get your wheels refurbed??
 
Hi mate they were done at lab tab not cheap £240 but they had my car a day all done 12 month guarantee.
There's city powder coaters £20 a wheel but you take the rims in I've had 3 sets of wheels done there and they can be hit and miss.

Thanks mate, I had mine done at CPC originally a few years ago and am looking to get them done again in the next few weeks.

Were they powdercoated at Laptab?

Lap tab do a proper refurb Nilz, acid dip and repaint etc. , but I would expect that for the price. Powder coat is cheap and cheerful. It's suppose to be more durable, mine have been pretty good so far.
 
Nilz try washford finishings in redditch or better still give me your avus wheels an you but new ones ;)
 
Jo, to be honest CPC did a good job on mine previously and I have no issues with going with them again, its just the time it takes to get them done.

Lee, you can have them if you can source me a decent replacement set :)

Judy go CPC mate, and borrow my 17s
 
For me city powder coaters are to hit and miss plus can leaving you waiting for over a week.
I'd rather pay the extra have them done in a day knowing the wheels will be right first time.
 
Jo, I probably will take you up on the offer, I got some time off coming soon, so can have the car parked up for a bit if i time it right.
