Looks amazing!! I love the hints of yellow you have in the S3 badges they go well with the contrast of the grey.:icon thumright:
 
Looks great liking the grille as well

How does it work with cleaning your car now? Anything special to do because of the matt finish?
 
Thanks everyone. Yeah iv got new shampoo, sealant and wax for the matte vinyl. Other than that it's the same as washing paint
 
Looks pretty awesome, really like the light shade of grey!
 
I remember seeing somewhere (think it was insta) that you won a comp or something?
Looks good and a great job done by TLC, although i have to say i preferred it as an imola.

Anyhow , welcome to the grey gang :icon thumright:
 
Wheels are audi dtms. Yeah I won a wrap in a raffle haha. Had to pay a bit for the more expensive vinyl but I was more than happy to do that. I miss the imola but this is my idea of perfection

Sweet.
An M3 went through Manheim auctions today in a matte silver just like this, it got a lot of attention.
 
Iv only been out in it twice since I got it back and im genuinely amazed at the attention it gets! Feel like I'm in a supercar or something lol

Have you considered yellow calipers? Might just finish it off a treat :anbet:

That looks mint, very mean looking. Much prefer that over a full yellow car, have they done the insides of the door pillars etc
 
No door sills aren't done. I quite like it though lol goes with the rest of the yellow parts.. My interior stitching is yellow too
 
perfect imho.
are those audi dtm wheels in 18"? do they clear ttrs brakes?
wheels look good, want some for mine :D
 
Yeah dude they are! Still to test fit brakes but I'm fairly confident there will be enough room to clear the brakes
 
Looks ace! Silly question and I should know the answer BUT is their any stipulations with having the front number plate on the dash? As Id like to show the honeycomb grille off to its full potential too
 
Not legal lol. Iv got a sticky plate on now which is also a bit questionable whether it is legal or not but I'll see how I get on
 
i really like the wrap mate, looks like a quality job...

i don't want to be "that guy" but i actually preferred the yellow and black combo, i think it looked a lot more menacing then. either way its a nice s3...

also i wouldn't get your hopes up with the 18" and the brakes. i had a fair bit of trouble getting them to fit my 19". its also the offset you need to look at not just the diameter. good luck, they will look smart one they are installed...
 
they go under the 18" but the offset is an issue. i'm running ttrs brakes with oem s3 18" wheels with et54 but i had 12mm spacers fitted and there's few mm clearance. i was asking because dtm wheels look really good on s3, and they are 18x8 et43 if i'm not wrong...if they would clear the brakes without spacers, i might be looking for them...
 
Gorgeous! I was going to wrap mine this colous if I went that way - matte gunmetal is total win!
 
wrap looks brilliant, the colour scheme is definitely a winner and with the brakes it'll look spot on
 
One of the best looking I've seen for a long time.
 
Thanks everyone you are all far too kind. Brakes going on next week and apr 2+ maybe get some buckets later on in the year then I'm leaving it alone for a while haha
