S Line to S3 conversion

It's gona be a big job £££. Looks nice already

When you say conversion are you just meaning body panels?

Ive got S3 suspension & front brakes here.

What sort of price are the S3 brakes?

Here's the for sale thread:

I had the exact same car as you and decided to do the full conversion after a year . One thing that annoyed me was after june 2010 all 140 TDI's only came with one exhaust as opposed to the twin tip most A3's have .

The best place to buy parts is ebay in my opinion . I found a seller on ebay germany who sold me the front S3 bumper , Side skirts , RS3 rear bumper (only difference is the diffuser) for about £1000 including shipping . This was way cheaper than audi even with the trade discount .
I got the Aluminium mirrors for £190 brand new from ebay germany as well what is less than half of what audi charge you .

In terms of fitting the front and back bumper is plug and play . the only hard part of the conversion is the side skirts . One of my friends decided to leave the side skirts but i feel it is more important than the bumpers as it really helps the stance and streamlines the car . There are a bunch of threads on here on how to go about doing this . The main concern is the existing door sills that have S-line written on them are glued on the car so removing them can be very tricky without damaging them . One easy option is to just buy S3 ones but this adds to the cost and i didnt want to have S3 badged anywhere on my car . If you have a good bodyshop then with a bit of help from the guides on here they should have no problem fitting them .

In terms of the brakes i decided to go for EBC slotted discs and Red stuff pads . They were way cheaper than S3 discs and offered a great improvement and look on the standard A3 brakes . I still have the S- line suspension as i didn't feel it was worth the money to drop the car a further 30mm to S3 height . Im thinking about selling the car in a year or two so spacers is one of the last upgrades i might do as they are fairly cheap.

I highly recommend doing the conversion as it makes the car stand out even more . Another bonus was i sold my previous parts on ebay what helped me get some money back
