Those front calipers look HUUUUGGGEEEE!!!

Yeah they do look massive lol..no i have 18"oz superleggeras with a spacer on

@GRELA has sorted me out with wings so another thing off the list...just need facelift badges now and think that's it mostly covered for when paint time comes

 

[GRELA]

Should've said, there is a possibility that i may have facelift badges too

No way lol

Well the car went in for respray on Monday got the facelift wings and some pressed plates

My mate gave me his Clio 200 gordini to use for a few days till I go back to work

Super little car handles like a dream

Great fun with the cup chassis..it really shows power ain't everything

 

[Goubo1]

Going to get my wheels refurbished and don't know if I should stay the same colour

Or go for silver

Any opinions on what looks best ??

Silver

 

[badger5]

I'm a fan of black personally.. but I also dont clean my wheels much too

 

[Goubo1]

Silver

I think silver would look good with the fresh painted car

 

[Goubo1]

Haha I'm the same bill but need to try up my game on keeping it clean...I do like the darker wheels but thin it would look real fresh in silver

Also I'll be in touch soon for a badger5 inside and badger5 edition stickers

 

[Goubo1]

Not the best of pics but got the wheels back from powder coating and went up and put them back on so the paint guy can move the car.Ended up going for the silver hope it looks good when all finished

Hoping to have the car back next Monday at the latest been held up a bit with me getting the wheels done so the car was on axle stands for a bit can't wait to drive it again

Looking good. Are they gonna strip it down more before it gets painted?

 

[Goubo1]

I ain't to sure mate when I was up with the wheels the bonnet and wings were removed bonnet painted and the wings I got from you were also painted...other than that I don't know just want it back to drive it lol

Well, i got my sill trims and skirts off today and found out the very expensive way on how NOT to remove the sill trim with the aluminium S3 strip, i trashed the ****** lot but i've found to have some surface rust on my sills and pretty much all along the bottom of the sill, i would of left it if my skirt wasn't cracked as well! It's something worth looking into i guess, only takes about 10 minutes to remove too...

 

[Goubo1]

Picked up the car this morning

Good to see it all looking fresh and no rust..I'm glad I went for the silver wheels as I'm really liking them. Im now Patiently waiting on dark like a kid lol to try out the new headlights from trups the looks awesome man....the level sensors on my car are kaput so got down my mates work to level them

The bonnet,front wings,doors,boot lid and bumpers were removed to paint but no windows were removed

 

[Goubo1]

If anyone is thinking on getting headlights for the s3 from @t8ups then get them asap

That's dipped beam the difference really is night and day from my old lights and on full beam the light these lights produce really is something else

Full beam

Parked up dipped

Really happy with the upgrade worth every penny and nice to actually see at night

Had a little car day yesterday got the oil and filter changed a few miles before it done the 3000 miles I normally change them at

Then took the car to the jet wash for a little clean and used some quick wax after I dried it

Decided to take it up the north of Scotland to work so I could have a little mid week play in it....got to annoy a e46 m3 driver who wasn't happy that he had a lot less power lol

Then got on the A9 and the roads were sketchy so was steady away till I got to work

Sketchy looks like serious understatement there.....snow does look lovely though....

We just get mud and rain down here in the softy South.
