    Re-Spray Done!!...Next stop...Bi-Xenons!!

    Interesting u say that about the washer jets for the lights- i was gonna get that bit filled and smoothed over as i feel it spoils the lines of the bumper- surely it is not an MOT requirement if the car didn't come with them as standard...???

    Re-Spray Done!!...Next stop...Bi-Xenons!!

    Got a valid point there!! My thought process for dressing my A3 s-line to S3 spec kit was this: 1. I want an S3, can i afford it..yes! 2. Can i insure it (I'm 24) only just... 3.Whats wrong with my current car...not a lot 4. Is it worth the pain of swapping, changing, negotiating, picking...

    Hi Guys, I picked up my car today at 3.30pm. There it was parked at a diagonal angle to the parking bay outside the bodyshop...it looked brand new. I jumped out of the car (mum's car as she gave me a lift) and went over to inspeact the paintwork. Now, i was expecting a few little...

    What a mess- time for a BIG change!!!

    Thats great mate thanx, I'll probably give you a shout when i've got the parts and need a hand with the fitting if thats okay? So Guys, just to clarify-first things first i need to sort these Bi-xenons out. What parts (in total) do i need to acquire to get the job done?? .. .

    What a mess- time for a BIG change!!!

    Thanks for the jargon coversion! lol Okay, so i have just bidded on that auto levelling thing (made him an offer). So when i get the Bi-Xenons (whenever that may be) is it just a case of swapping the existing halogens with the Bi-Xenons and then just connecting the adaptive thingy or is it a...

    What a mess- time for a BIG change!!!

    Know what i mean mate!! Bizarre...! I've contacted Pontias- but he's sold the lot...!! Shame! At this rate i might just buy a brand new S3- take all the parts off it that i need and sell the rest of the car on eBay!! lol

    What a mess- time for a BIG change!!!

    Yes i have contacted that guy on ebay, he wants £1,000,000 for every part. He also wants £150 for a bonnet, which i think is very steep. It is also quite dubious that the parts are off a Cat B write off and the bumper has been primed which to me suggests it has been repaired...and he always...
