    S3 or BMW 135i

    Thats what i thought, a diesel engine that big in a 1-series would be awesome

    New sticky??

    I dont think its a bad shout to be honest although two things come to mind. Firstly, im with some of the others who think a lot of buyers wont even bother researching, and secondly, its no good for people like me who have a private reg because obviously that is coming off the car when i sell.

    I cant see how it would effect your credit tbh as long as you keep the payments up. Settling early should bear no relevance as long as the company give you the option.

    The 500 Abarth will be an awesome car but the build quality will be in a totally different league compared to the Audi.

    As far as im aware you never keep an existing finance policy, they always settle it with a new policy, could be wrong though. Either way good luck with sorting it.

    will be having to sell soon!

    That really is a shame mate, sorry to hear, although priorities change. What modifications do you have that would potentially be for sale? I would love to take those BBS's off your hands if you are looking at setting the car back to standard.

    Finance

    All you need to do is call the finance company and ask them for a settlement fee. Once you have got the fee you can then see what Audi will offer you for the car as part of a part-ex. With there being so long left you may find you are left in negative equity like somebody has already mentioned...

    which S3 map do you lot advice ?

    Nice one mate, appreciate all of the hard work you are putting into this. My main concern is that the maps do not block Audi from getting into my ECU, other than that as long as i have to option to put it back to standard one way or another for the dealer visits im not too bothered who i use if...

    S3 Front Bumper

    Thanks guys, thats what i was hoping for. Ive got some RS4 alloys on order from a friend who has his own garage and he did a lot of spray work on my other modifications for my old car so im thinking of getting him to sort this out. The other problem i then have is do i get the RS4's sprayed up...

    Diesel chipping

    Diesel cars do respond really well to being remapped, the torque is amazing. We used to have a 306 GTi-6 in the family and i still stand by the fact that it is probably the best hot hatch ever but that worked well when you took it up the rev range whereas the diesel will use its torque to drag...

    which S3 map do you lot advice ?

    Yeah your right in what you say. If the other companies cant offer the stock map then i will go for Superchips but i think i will go to the HQ and get it all done there. I would like to think they have a dyno so i can actually see the results on paper as well as feeling the difference.

    S3 Front Bumper

    I need opinions. I have an Ibis White S3 with the black grille and obviously the fog light surrounds are black, however, the small piece at the bottom of the bumper is still in grey/silver. Im thinking about having this sprayed to match the rest, what do people think? Also if i do go for it do...

    which S3 map do you lot advice ?

    Why is life so difficult, lol. I had pretty much made my mind up and now im thinking Superchips is the way to go but then a lot of people have been complaining about the final result. :shrug:

    which S3 map do you lot advice ?

    I think i will because im looking forward to the RR day now and would still like to go ahead if they can do it. As such they cant but from what my guy said if the car develops a fault and they need to plug into the ECU some maps block them from getting in and that deems it useless, which...

    which S3 map do you lot advice ?

    Thanks very much to L60N and mitch78, thats what i wanted to know. Im now unsure about what to do again, i have put myself down for the RR day in October as well but if it doesnt give me the option to restore the actual map my car started with im not sure if GIAC is the way forward. I dont...

    Why the negativity

    Its a really difficult one because we are all looking at it from different angles. Ive got to say ultimately i dont think it will effect sales purely because now if someone wants a new one they will have to have the facelift, they wont have the choice and if i was buying right now i would rather...

    This is what i really want to know because that will sway my decision one way or another

    which S3 map do you lot advice ?

    Thats something ive been meaning to ask, when you say it turns it back to standard does it actually re-load the stock map as it came off the car or does it replacement the performance map with one that is similar to standard? The reason i ask is because when i spoke to my Audi guy he said that...
