Nice mate.
Did you manage to get the discs off and on without removing the brake calipers?
Thanks!
Nah, I removed the caliper to get them off.

MTEC Black Edition Dimpled and Grooved with Mintex Pads

Have you driven much with the mintex pads? Mine squeaked for a good 500 miles until they were worn in
Only done around 10 miles tbh, haven’t heard them squeak. Did you fit the shims?

Nice job - how did you achieve that?Finally got round to sorting out my little accident with a curb!!
Cheers, started with 400 grit wet and dry until deep scratches were removed then continued with 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and finally 3000 followed by a good metal polish.Nice job - how did you achieve that?
What did you do to seal it? Clear lacquer?Finally got round to sorting out my little accident with a curb!!
I had a small bottle of lacquer from ebay with a brush but when applied it looked a mess so had to re-sand and polish, going to get a spray can to get a good finish.What did you do to seal it? Clear lacquer?
Freshmodsuk on Instagram! Can't fault the quality, good value too. Got rings and badges for my S3 and S5. They also do plates.Not a lot apart from watched it gather dust, couple of things i want to do but looking for best place and price to get them.
Gloss black badges for front and back as audi want £40 each and am not wanting to pay that. Some short plates in 4d gel. And some Audi puddle lights.

Sorry if I’ve missed it, but is that an otherwise standard S3 saloon (judging by your profile pic)?Managed a 4.38 second 0-60 mph launch control test. IE Stage 1 high torque with DSG tune (3200 rpm version).
Seems reasonable, albeit high for a Stage 1 tune. Maybe tires were too cold.

That's correct. No other performance modifications.Sorry if I’ve missed it, but is that an otherwise standard S3 saloon (judging by your profile pic)?
Nice! Looks like you’ve got front windows tinted as well as the usual rear?In the midst of a full correction and ceramic coat.
And epoxy garage floor coming soon!

Extended leather is defo a must, looks much better mate!Not driven the car much with everything that’s going on at the moment but I did get round to fitting the extended leather on the centre console, grabbed a bargain full centre console on eBay for only £60 so thought it was worth the plunge.
There’s a few guides on here that I followed but it took me a good few hours and did have to go back and re-glue one side as it had lifted slightly but it’s now stuck down solid so I’m happy. Think it looks miles better than the previous plastic trim and it no longer squeaks!
Just need to source some leather door cards for a 3 door next, and maybe try wrapping the interior trim in carbon fibre also keep getting tempted by RS3 style grills!
Cheers mate Might have to take a look, think the S3 fitting is a bit more complicated and needs more ‘modification’ than the S5 from what I’ve seen which is my only concern. Mind you I’d be getting my local body shop to take on the job once we get back to normal anyway!Extended leather is defo a must, looks much better mate!
If after a grill hit up fresh mods UK on Instagram, good quality and decent prices. Got mine from there!

Hi . I am thinking of this mod .the leather console sides . If you e bought a complete console can you not just exchange without remove and re fixing the knee pads ?

I could potentially have done but it would have meant ripping out the whole of my centre console which would have been a lot more work I think.Hi .
