Sorry for the sluggish response rate guys, am splitting up from my girlfriend after 5 years and as u can imagine things have been a little crazy.
Will get the pics on over the next few days, took her (the car- not the ex-girlfriend) through the car wash today- looks...
I have found my camera!! woop woop!!
So will endeavour to upload before and after pics tomorrow! Can anyone tell me how i will post the pictures to the site (coz its never going to be as easy as copy and paste!!..that wud be far tooo easy!)
Lookin forward to gettin them on.
Jones-not sure...
OMG...haven't been on in a few days as have been at a 3 day conference at the NEC.
Situation with the camera is...(bear with me on this one!) I went to have my teeth whitened last week and i took my camera with me to take before and after photo's of my teeth so i could appreciate the...
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...???
not had a quote for a new one no, was hopin i cud pick up a bargain from ebay, but its proving slightly more challenging than i first thought...!!
These breakers and salvage guys on there are ruthless!!
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...
Yeah no worries, I'll attempt (attempt being the optive word!!) to put some pics of before and after tomorrow.
Check us out, Saturday night on the forum...livin it up!!! lol

If your gonna talk to them about work, mention you know me (Rich Youngman) i'm sure he'll give u a little cheeky discount if u mention me as i haggled with him based on my spray knowledge...
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...

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?? .. .
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...
Right, you are talking to a guy who knows sweet FA about mechanics and functionality etc. All i know is my car looks bad- and i want it to look badder!! lol
What is the difference between Xenon and Bi-Xenon and what is this auto level thingy?!??
You also mentioned that "Audi TP Center is...
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
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...
Right guys, the A3 is in the bodyshop now and i get it back on Saturday- so quite apprehensive about the final results- am gonna go down to the bodyshop tomorrow to check the prep work.
Will post before and after photo's on Saturday or Sunday.
But the real issue is the S3 bodyparts- i still...
Mapping sounds good!!
I have the car booked in for the first stage of the work to start next Tuesday (will take full before and after shots). This will include filler work and full respray to: full roof, both 3 quarters, full boot, spoiler, side rails and front pillars.
Need to desperately...
