Fran, I'd choose the S Line. Think it will look ace on your car! Stay away from non OEM, most are bad fits and dont look as good!
yeah i was thinking s-line im keeping an eye on ebay to see what turns up otherwise it the stealers for me lol cheers
yup stealers or try looking up breakers in ebay too! Be cheeky and ask if they have any! Hope you get one, will look ace
i will try lol , yeah i agree we've had a good number of s-line's in work now and i think a3's look so much better with them , its the one of the things i wished my car came with as well as sat nav , xenons , heated seats etc ..
lol yeah it does a bit oh well some things you can put on your car thanks to thing awesome site eh haha

Very nice build, fair play for doing most of it yourself, I have broke too many things to risk doing anything to my own cars anymore haha. All I would say is maybe abit lower and some spacers on the back would set it off a treat.
lovely job sar, looked great at aitp !
you deffo need to lower it and spacers would just finish it of a treat.
great work, well done.
let me know when your ready for the digi tuner and dvd etc, will pop up and sort for you, whilst your spending, you may aswell get a flat bottom wheel too and we can fit it all in one go !!!
its only money !!! lmfao

Yeh, I will deffo let you know, then I can do what we agreed when you are here lol But stop spending what I havn't got lol, I do really want the flat bottom wheel but havn't been able to find any!!!!! I'll msn you about it.
thanks again matey!!!
haha tell me about it i had a standard car but then i joined this forum and it all went wrong or right depends on which way you look at it lol but lowering is on my list of things to do on my car will look top on yours
Haa haa Fran but you're not complaining! You have an ace car! But hey there are loads more you can do........ and so it goes on! lol
I have to say, I'm seriously mighty impressed by this, you are the defacto female modder on ASN.
Very good job, only things I will say & you know are get those skirts on asap & lose the horrible splitter on front, it ruins IMHO the S3 front styling, doesnt compliment it at all girl, your car do as you see fit, just a friendly opinion.
Again I say I'm very impressed, wish my missus had some of your dna for your car loving lmfao.

thank you Nige, means alot coming from you!
Yup as we talked about, skirts will be done as soon as!!! Splitter....hmmm not sure, will live with it a while and see lol, I also like to be a little different as you know lol
But I will be picking your brains for further ideas when funds allow!
thanks again Nige
Ok, I've lived with my front rings painted black for a few weeks and tbh, as much as I like them, every time I looked at them, they just looked like they had been nicked!! lol
Anyway, decided to do them the same anthracite (ish with a blue hue) as the Alloys and mirrors. (Hard to show the colour but they do match the lower bumper Lip, alloys and mirrors. Just looked more silvery with the camera!)
Even from a distance I can now still see them, so im happy!
Also decided to have a go at getting some marks off the headlamps. Got some brilliant advice from Jim (Jimmeh) of White Details (thanks Jim) and had a go. Used some Poorboys SSR1 & 2 and Megs steps 2 & 3 of the Deep Crystal System to try to bring them back shiney new! I'm happy with the results so...result!
Before (were covered in stone chips etc)
After

Noooooo, detailing for fun is great but everyday is hard work!!! Although saying that, I'd happily do it more often, I like seeing the results.

With the issue of stone chips to the headlights, have you thought of investing in headlight protector covers from Audi? I would rather have chips on these than the headlights especially with Xenons, they can also dissipate the force against larger stones that could break the headlights as well..
