My S3 so far (Pics)

[Sanj]

Hey All,

Been a member of this forum for a while but haven't got around to posting any pics of my S3... had some work done to it over the weekend so thought now is a good a time as any to post some pics up.....

Before: (Standard)
All four wheels corroded and curbed badly by the previous owner....

After:
Had the wheels refurbed finished in gloss black, front grill, fog light grill, side moulds and back bumper insert finished in satin black, light tints all around.....

Next up are some spacers and a 20-25mm drop (without a bone crunching ride) and a remap.

Hope you enjoy....
Comments welcome.....

The black 'n blue combo works well mate, nice one

 

[S3 Rav]

Agree black n blue works well together.

I like the front, with the black grill, I miss my tints now, I don't know why took them off!

Looks really nice mate, well done, just one thing though, change your wipers, get a set of aero blades on front and back, will really clean the look up for you.

 

[Sanj]

Cheers Guys, thanks for the comments!

those satin black trim bits look really good, way better than the faded grey plastic

 

[Sanj]

Yeh my moulds were faded really badly, i was going to get them re finished anyway....

 

[s3 man]

i love them brake calipes.where did you get that paint from?

 

[Sandip]

Hmmmm looks similar to an S3 i know lol

 

[luke2702]

Looks really nice, get it mapped you will fall in love again when it is done....

 

[Sanj]

Not entirely too sure what paint they used... Car was given to a body shop for the moulds and wheels, while they were doing those I asked them to paint the calipers for me as well....

I was thinking a few months ago, im gonna sell up and get an 8P, not anymore..... feels like a new car already.... but cant wait to get it mapped now!

Hehe, I do owe you some credit, your wheels gave me inspiration.... I went for the gloss instead tho....

Nogi's suit black wheels:icon_thumright:

Get some spacers on the back

 

[Sarah's A3]

Ooohh looking good, loving what you have done!

 

[Nilz]

Sanj and Sandip, sitting in a tree......

LOL...both cars look VERY nice...

Sanj, was going to say you dont need to swap the whole arms and everything, you can just get replacement aero blades, thats what I and many others have done, only cost about £15 for all 3 blades, have a quick look on Ebay, they have loads on there...

From memory, you need a 21", 19" and a 15" blade for yours.

Hope that helps.
