    I asked a company to make an S3 tax disc holder...(Link inside)

    The etched/printed richbrook ones have been around for quite a while - think I got one off eBay not long after I got the S3 which is about 5 years ago now!

    Hey all, recently tried to fit led number plate lights and seem to have a problem with the unit on the drivers side not working - I have tried turning the bulbs etc but no joy. I have purchased some new OEM number plate light units (not just the lens with the bulb holder), but no idea how the...

    Hey Folks, I don't get to use my car much and the last couple of times have had to charge the battery up - over the weekend I put the battery back in the car and went off for a bit of a drive - within an hour the battery warning light came on and then slowly the dash lit up like a Xmas tree -...

    audi vs subaru?

    I had a classic shape impreza with the prodrive engine upgrade (Dynoed at 257bhp). Chopped it in for the S3 coz I was cheesed off with rattling interior and it was too damn noisy on the motorway. The S3 is a much nicer car to sit in and with a remap not too far off the scoob in a straight line.

    Carbon Fibre?

    Cheers mate, I think you probably need a couple of pairs of hands to do it as it needs to be properly stretched tight and then smoothed out - I got it done professionally as the large sheets are a bit much if you get it wrong. The stuff used on mine is from APA, which the guy prefers to the 3M...

    Hi mate, the bumper panel cost £130 to have wrapped - I didn't think it was too bad - you can get sheets of 3M Di-noc on ebay for around £80 but I don't think even the largest are big enough to it in one piece. When you add the time involved to get it looking right then it seems ok. The insert...

    Carbon Fibre?

    Thanks for the comments people - it is indeed a vinyl wrap, but in the flesh I think it looks fantastic. I already have brushed alu mirrors and just had the black casings lying around - they only cost £20 each to have done and I am very pleased with how they came out. Big shout to Andrew at...

    Can I use Billy B8s without lowering springs?

    I also have to say that I have Eibach springs (std dampers) and don't like the way the car sits - front I am ok with but the back is still too high. Having said that, the ride is absolutley fine. Tufty - do you remember where you got your Apex springs from?

    Anyone sprayed the grey rear bumper insert on an S3?

    I got mine sprayed black to match the car as it had gone all streaky and I couldn't find anything to clean it up with - looks much better.
