    Red S3 with buckets

    I used to have a white S3 with the bucket seats. Had to sell it as I moved to Australia. Im probably going to be moving back before the end of the year. Ive developed a thing for red motors and really fancy a red S3. The only thing is you never see them with the seats in them. Ive seen a few...

    Dealer wont fix my alloys

    I bought an 07 S3 in July 09. In November i noticed the paint peeling off one of the wheels. Took it back to the garage. The warranty guy took a quick look and ordered me a new alloy. I new the wheels had been refurbed by the dealer when they took the car back but didnt say anything. While...

    S3 front bumper

    Can anyone in the Aberdeen area help me? Looking for a 2nd hand front bumper. Managed to split mine and would rather replace it than have it repaired. Its a 2002 model. Dunno if the facelift bumpers are different from pre-facelift? Cheers folks

    Big brake people

    Does anyone who has upgraded to Brembo's/Porsche etc front brakes on there S3/TT still have there mounting brackets for the standard calipers? A mate of mine is looking to upgrade to 312mm discs on his Golf. Tried a few scrappies and they will only sell them with the calipers. Seems daft to me...

    Front brakes

    My S3 is needing new front discs and pads. Just moved into a new place so buying the Brembo set up isnt really an option unless anyone knows of a cheap set of calipers going? Is it worth fitting drilled/grooved/whatever discs or just stay with the standard set up? Having checked before everyone...

    Brembo's..... again

    Just a thought here. A mate of mine has an Ibiza Cupra R with the Brembo calipers on the front. Are these the same as the Leon ones? When he bought new pads for it it also said on the box that they were for a Jag XKR. I would imagine they were for the rear. Could be wrong though. My question is...

Problem is locking wheel nuts? been to both the local Halfords and the longest ones they have are just long enough to get through the front ones. I dont think they even make it far enough in to stay tight. Will I end up having to...

    Koni Dampers and Eibach springs

    Right spent most of the afternoon fitting the dampers and springs. The car is amazingly different! Goes round roundabouts like its on rails. To be fair both my old rear springs were broken and one of the dampers was leaking pretty bad so anything wouldve been an improvement. The ride is...

    Big Brakes

    Ive noticed on here that when people speak about big brake conversions its pretty much a choice between the Brembo GT or the Porsche conversion. I spoke to Jim at Star Performance and he mentioned both a Tarox 6 pot 330mm conversion and a Stop Tech 4 pot conversion. Anyone any experience with...

    S3 Exhausts

    No doubt away to open a can of worms. My exhaust has started pluffing a bit so gonna go for a cat back system. What does everyone recommend. Fancy the Milltek because i like the tail pipe design. Pretty expensive though?! Would the likes of a Supersprint centre section fit onto a Milltek back...
