    New Car, which one to go for?

    Appreciate the responses all, Matt its through my workplace so it has to be new and the limit won't go too far, otherwise I'd go for a 2-3 year old S3/RS4 if it could be a used one. Sarah, all the big engined cars got stripped from the list last month due to CO2 caps as the company has gone...

    New Car, which one to go for?

    The thing is, if I didn't already own an A3 I would've gone for the Black Edition without even looking at the others, but the new models just aren't different enough so I don't think it justifies putting it in front of other new cars that have come on the market? if that makes sense. The 3...

    New Car, which one to go for?

    If you had a choice, which car would you go for out of the list below? I'm wanting to try something different but can't make my mind up, I'll have the car for 3-4 years. (I'm not too concerned about speed/0-60 times as I don't race around) I currently have a modified 2006 2.0TDI SB. A3 1.8...

    Lamin-x??

    Thanks, yeah they specialise in tints (Protint) so any tinting company should be able to do it. I read a few stories on here and other places about people having to take it off / re-apply to get it right which put me off having a crack.

    Lamin-x??

    Same place ^ Colour was 'tint' and I haven't noticed any light issues. I had them fitted by professionals, even though it comes with instructions I'd rather get it done properly.

    Before and After - 2006 A3 Sportback

    Haha cheers guys ;) That's the thing Dave, I wanted to make a few changes but specifically around the aggressive front-end, I did it by not conforming with the usual S-line stuff (not that there's anything wrong with S-line or other conversions) but I wanted it to be different. Different...

    Before and After - 2006 A3 Sportback

    So my mods are now complete (I think!) A little different from the rest and I admit its not really one for oem fanboys, but I love the look. It's going in the next couple of months as I'll be getting a new A3 or A4, haven't decided yet. Here you go, all opinions welcome, whether you think...

    3 door or sportback - which is best? (no TV Burp-style fight!)

    Personally I prefer the stretched look of the Sportback, it's not as long as an estate and its not a chopped hatchback (so its perfect!) I don't like the rear end of the 3 door, especially the tail-lights.

    please help..how reliable is a A3 1.9/2.0 tdi after 80000miles

    With most of them covering motorway miles its not usually a big problem as long as it has DFSH (fleet cars usually do anyway) Mine is on a 55 plate at 95k with no problems at all.

    997 Turbo wheels on an S3?

    Who cares if they're wheels from a different manufacturer, I'm sure we're all grown up enough to decide what looks good on our car, rather than being spoon fed whatever comes out with 4 rings on it ;)
