Couple months back I got my hands on a 3 door A3 Sport - 2006 (55 Plate) - Took very few (awful iphone)photos as it was meant to stay standard.
So, first up I got home and ordered a full set of interior bulbs - Never liked the look of orange interiors and its cheap enough thing todo..
So that was the plan, keep it standard and enjoy trouble-free driving for a while..
Parked up outside work on the Monday morning, saw the horrendous arch gap and ordered a set of coilovers.
That weekend they were fitted and looked like this:
Wasn't happy with the way it sat atall, messed around a little and got it near enough even. Had to slightly stretch the 2 back tyres as they were catching aswell..
Which left me with this:
I was pretty happy with it like that, had it idling whilst I cleaned an
d heard a slight tapping noise from the engine bay.. Back into the garage.. Couple of hours later I was informed flywheel had slight play but wasn't going to cause any issues for a fair few thousand miles. Decided it was easier to just change it there and then so had a new Sachs clutch, flywheel and concentric sent down.
Because of that, I decided I'll definitely be keeping this car for atleast a few months.
Which meant this
Tried on some 17s but they just looked silly to me..
And picked up some LM Reps for the winter, came up for sale locally at a very good price, nearly the exact specs I needed.
The plan is to keep it like this for a short while, will be having the driverside resprayed as someone's keyed it. Also looking for someone to chassis notch in North Wales?
Also, can anyone point me in the direction of someone selling S Line/S3 front bumper?
Many thanks.
