    A3/S3 Photos Thread

    After many happy miles, 6 months ago I decided to start trying to sell my car. With not much interest during the Christmas period, I left it until recently to re advertise the car. A buyer got in touch from Cardiff, came to view and took it that same day due to the condition of it. Because I'm...

    Selling car - Need some advice please

    Hi guys, I've got my A3 for sale on eBay for £14,995. Initially I wanted anything above the £14,500 mark, however a dealer has been in contact offering £14,000 with no hassle. Now after abit of thinking, I decided to go for the offer of £14,000 - Is this reasonable for a 11 Plate A3 1.4 TFSI S...

    Window Tinting - Is this a modification on the insurance?

    Cheers for all the replies guys! They're all very helpful! We phoned them today, and lady couldn't get her head round it. All she kept saying was 'have you paid extra' so I said ofcourse we paid extra, but it's a factory fitted option not a modification. She still couldn't hack it. Were being...

    Window Tinting - Is this a modification on the insurance?

    Hi I've recently changed my insurance provider, and i've just had an email through saying that the car's windows are tinted - They want to add another £200 onto the premium. They were actually done in the factory at Audi, does this still class them as a modification on the insurance?

    Can Standard Brakes Handle Revo Stage 2+ ?

    The reason for the S3 having bigger brakes is for a few reasons really! For instance, the well known saying 'the fast you go, the longer its gonna take you to stop'. Fitting bigger, better brakes at high speeds will minimise brake fade to ensure your brake is always functioning and does not...

    Can Standard Brakes Handle Revo Stage 2+ ?

    Haha yes I can imagine!! Were you doing it down to lap times at Brands hatch? I race karts and the brakes can get rediculously hot which leads to brake fade (Which you've experienced!). However, you've got to push it to the limit under braking because whats the point in having all that power...

    Can Standard Brakes Handle Revo Stage 2+ ?

    Ah okay! It's probably because the pads are already decent, but take for instance another manufacturer may not be as good, so it could make an improvement - if you get me haha! The brakes on my A3 are more than enough, but it is a 1.4 TFSI, braking from 60 - 0 takes no time at all! I would...

    Can Standard Brakes Handle Revo Stage 2+ ?

    Who need's brakes? They only slow you down ;) It all depends on if your planning on pushing the car past the limits of stock form? Try uprating the pads to the soft ones (think it's the EBC greenstuff?), if thats not good enough, then you have your answer :) Put some R8 calipers on it!

    Any one used "Drive the deal" etc to order their new car?

    I used Drive the Deal to order my car due to all the dealerships in the area wouldn't budge a penny! I saved over £2000 on my new A3 and the service was brilliant. They were in touch the very next day putting me in touch with the dealer. The dealer was 150 miles away and they were excellent...

    White paint on black car nightmare - HELP!

    Plastidip would be a good option, but it's not as good as the black edition grille :( I've done it on mine, from a few metre away you can't tell at all however the inside of the grill is glossy whilst the outside chrome is matte black!

    White paint on black car nightmare - HELP!

    Just to add, have you tried tar remover? Clay bar, IronX? Take the car to a detailer not Audi, detailers will be able to wet sand and take a layer of paint off without respraying

    White paint on black car nightmare - HELP!

    Have you parked it there since the first time or was this the second time and it's happened again? Would it be worth you waiting for the SCUM BAG to come along and damage it whilst your filming? Why let some scum do this, when they'll do it to someone else car! Should of been shot at birth!
