Bought a fairly high spec A3 S-Line a few months ago.
Has RNS-E/Heated Leather/Cruise/Climate Control/Xenon/Bluetooth/Phone/Sunroof/Auto Lights/Washers/Mirrors/Parking Sensors/6 CD etc fitted in the factory and coupled with a low mileage of 70k I was pretty happy for the price I paid.
I used it as is for a few weeks before deciding it needed some attention...
These arrived:
And were fitted:
I added the S3 pedals which look decent and were mega cheap off ebay:
Also added the paddle extensions seen. Got them off ebay. They are pretty flimbsy and I'm not entirely sure whether to keep or not but oh well...
Next swapped all the interior bulbs for LEDs which for less than twenty quid was a decent purchase:
Then I picked up these at a very fair price. Cleaned them up and had to polish and re-laquer one of the rims where it had started to bubble and peel but for the price cant complain:
Got them fitted:
Added 5mm spacers to just widen it ever so much:
Have these MY09 rear lights waiting to be fitted. Picked the drivers and passengers side up separately for less than sixty quid. Pretty pleased.
So that's it for now. Happy with how it looks at the moment.
Total cost of mods:
Alloys £250 but will be offset by selling old ones
S3 pedals £27
MY09 lights £58 (awaiting fitting)
Splitter £40 (awaiting fitting)
LED lights £20
Paddle Extensions £30
Pressed Plates £20
Have a SEAT Leon front splitter waiting to be fitted.
Future plans include MFSW and newer rear bumper and spoiler. Struggling to find a 3 door with PCN fitted though, and a fairly priced spoiler for that matter. Also after them in Akoya Silver if anyone is selling one.....wishful thinking?
Not planning on lowering it as I often have passengers and lots of stuff in the back so not hugely concerned here.
Cheers
