    S3 Cabriolet wind deflector

    Wind deflectors for A3 / S3 Cabriolets were included as standard on the 8P model (old shape up to 2013) From 2013 onwards (8V models) wind deflectors were a (pricey!) optional extra. Around £350 if I remember correctly. The generic ones look and feel rubbish. You will find a good 2nd hand...

    Bye Bye S3

    @pburv New car looks ace! Congrats. I had a go in one a while ago. One of the tech things that I loved was the “buttons” appearing/disappearing in the corners as your hand gets close to the main screen. Such a clever touch. Witchcraft.lol. Don’t see many of these about. Lovely left field...

    A3 2017 Convertible Rear Window Smashed HELP!!

    If the garage has broken the window whilst in their care, it is their responsibility. Simple. I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that the window can be replaced without replacing the roof. Ask your local Audi Dealer?

    Gang tried to car-jack my S3 today!

    What a world we live in nowadays. Fair play to you. Sounds like you weighed things up in the moment and absolutely made the right choice. Hopefully the spineless ******* will get what’s coming to them. I’m sure they will. Glad you’re ok, but I’m sure over the coming days you’ll be replaying...

    Green Audi S3 crash

    Sadly this is exactly what you'd expect nowadays. Noone has any pride in the work they do. I absolutely dread any of my cars even going in for "servicing" as nine times out of ten they come out in worse condition than they went in. But its a stamp in the book. *sigh* To 85% of car users, cars...

    Facelift S3 damaged by a falling..............Sofa!!!

    Thing is with PDR (PAINTLESS Dent Removal) there IS no paint to apply to have problems in the future with! The OP’s ding hasn’t broken the paint, and so all it needs is a skilful PDR guy to push out the dent. It will be near perfect imo. It’s all down to the skill of the individual. EDIT...

    Facelift S3 damaged by a falling..............Sofa!!!

    Totally get what you're saying, BUT I really believe that PDR is the way to go for a ding like this one for the simple reason that I have NEVER been happy with a panel when it has gone to be painted REGARDLESS of where it went and who did it. I can ALWAYS see the difference. I've had three...

    Facelift S3 damaged by a falling..............Sofa!!!

    As long as they can get behind it (which I think will be easy on that panel) a decent PDR guy will sort that all day long. It hasn't even crossed the swage line.

    Green Audi S3 crash

    Hmm...I do think you were a bit quick off the mark, but you were on the roundabout first and the duffer in the Jag should have been more aware of you. It's not as if you're in a dark, hard to see motor !! End of the day, Jags fault.

    Green Audi S3 crash

    At least the old duffer can't use the "I never saw you" line! lol I've said it before and I'll say it again...what a brilliant colour! Hope you get it all sorted soon.

    S3 vandalism

    WOW. That's disgusting. Had both my mirrors kicked off in a car park on Monday (along with around 6 other cars) , and was mad as a wasp. Damage like has been done to yours, though, is truly shocking. I will never,ever get why feral scum do vandalism like this.

    Please be careful

    And while decent people lie terrified in their beds, the Police continue to do f**k all about these oxygen robbing waste of skins. They are really good at hiding behind bushes catching people doing 35mph in a 30mph zone, though!

    Please be careful

    Sorry to hear about your loss. I hate these threads. Hopefully, the aspiring footballers/rocket scientists/all round good eggs will drive it 5 up into a concrete wall at 130 mph. Hope you get a swift payout. Glad you had GAP. I DID get the ULTIMATE in theft prevention…A KIA!:grin: Sometimes...

    Audi S3 PFL vs Mercedes A35 AMG

    Sorry to hear that. That’s really crap. I loved the colour of your A35 AMG, and briefly considered one after rejecting my S3. “Lower your expectations” LOL. That’s right up there with the general manager of my Audi Dealership telling me that “Audi don’t make perfect cars” LOL.(after I’d bought...

    Buying Advice on a Used Approved S3

    The S3 Cabriolet is absolutely stunning. I had a brand new 2019 '19 plate one. The best car I have ever owned by a country mile! Unfortunately for me, due to ridiculous circumstances (Audi couldn't fix a fault with the roof) I had to reject it. But, for the couple of months I had it, it was...

    Facelift Audi Dealer "High Quality" service

    What Audi are doing to your dad is what used to happen in back street garages in the 80's! Stuff goes wrong. I think we all accept that. Its how issues are dealt with that matter.Lying and cheating from Main Dealers is utterly unacceptable, but goes on a whole lot more than you would believe...

    Facelift Audi Dealer "High Quality" service

    This doesn't surprise me one bit. Audi is now a joke. Ridiculous prices and 3rd rate "service" Due to my recent experience with them, I will never own another Audi. Dealer blames Audi UK. Audi UK blames the dealer. Audi CS worse than useless. As for the exec team/ceo etc, its the same story...

    S3 Saloon arriving next week - security?

    The thing is, 15 years ago there was a real chance of being caught and securing a conviction. Today, there is pretty much no chance of getting caught and even if they are caught, sentences are laughable. Scum know this and are taking full advantage of it. It’s definitely getting worse and more...
