Ants S3 Project Thread

[ANTS3]

Hi there,

Been on for a while originally having a rs3 saloon in viper green on order but personal circumstances changed so had to downgrade somewhat but still happy with what I now have which is a 2014 s3 3-door in Panther black, when looking for an s3 I had a few options which I definitely wanted which was
Pano roof
Bang and olufsen sound system
Super sport seats
3 door
Having browsed for a month or so this car appeared! Went to see and view it and had it purchased within a few days.
First few days with it being home I’ve changed the front grill and added a spoiler extension and also changed all the interior bulbs to LED. Next things on my list are to go down the revo route and hopefully see 400+ at some point, no major rush. And also get a nice splitter, any other modification recommendations? Let me know!
Cheers!

Cheers bud, love the grill espescially the “Quattro” lettering, and I’m going to hopefully get the car cleaned Xmas eve and I’ll get a few pictures of the spoiler extension but it is the maxton one

aye i know @Schizophonic was also interested in the extension after another fella posted he had one but with no pics. So yes please!

Panther black to me is the best black colour I’ve seen on a vehicle, with that purple shimmer to it, nice one mate.

Cheers! When I first spotted the car for sale it was just listed as black, but soon realised it wasn’t any old black when I went to view the car, noticed the metallic flake in it which in some lights goes purple and the odd time goes like a bronze colour, very happy with the colour either way!

 

[DW81]

I mentioned it before on here when I detailed my TTS it was phantom black pearl and the colour absolutely popped which restored my love for black cars again. A good ceramic or wax coating and the car will be a dream to wash and maintain. I bought a sepang blue rs3 and reckon it will come up a treat when I get a chance to detail it in the spring. Enjoy your car mate

Another Vote for the Maxton spoiler extension.

Awaiting for my China Roof Rails first then the spoiler.

Damn that's beautiful!

Contemplating a black honeycomb grill with Quattro text at the bottom on my Daytona one, but not sure how that would work without it being a black edition!

 

[ANTS3]

Gave the car a much needed wash, and got some pictures of the Maxton spoiler extension as promised!

Nice to see some non manufacture product shots - its a lot less stuble than I thought, how long was shipping and which site did you order it from?

I have a set of side skirt extensions and rear bumper extensions for my S3 which I’ve never used.

I have the rieger splitter on mine and the material doesn’t match. Let me know if the side skirts and rear interest you.

Hello mate, is the side splitters for a 3 door?

Couple of days and from Maxton uk

 

[GregS3]

@ANTS3 Love it mate! Where's the grille from? Oh and can you transfer the S3 badge over to the honeycomb one?

 

[Boydie]

Hello mate, is the side splitters for a 3 door?

I have email confirmation from Maxton that they fit both 3 door and 5 door - let me know if you are interested, I can take photos tonight and send them to you.

Got if off a seller on eBay had like 6-7 in stock, it is a bit of a pain to change the grill over, but once it’s done it does look mint! And there’s no mounting point for the s3 badge but I’m going to work out a way to mount it

 

[ANTS3]

Had it’s service done today at LVS Lincoln, had the revo turbo muffler delete fitted, and will be hopefully back there soon for revo stage2!

Fitted new wheels today, team dynamics
Fitted new tyres today, Michelin Supersports
Will be getting the car booked in to get the stage 3 done shortly

 

[ANTS3]

Finally found some paddle extenders that fit my paddles!
The design of them have slightly changed to the photos in the listing, they no longer are grub screwed to the paddle, they clip onto the paddle and then a screw tightens the frame so it grips to the original paddle.

Good to have at least two of you fitting them, just self tap into the sill, there’s no like groove for them to sit on, so you have to eye it up, and also if you have a 3 door you might have to trim them a little bit.

 

[ANTS3]

Just a picture with the Maxton splitter and side skirts on and the team dynamic wheels!

 

[Timi8888]

I see you on Instagram upload this pic earlier

[boydyski]

Very nice indeed mate!

What are you using for tints on the headlights? I installed fly-eye when I first got the car but took them off a while back.

very nice job, but not a fan of the number plate on the side Alfa style, but each to their own.

Few teaser pics from the guys, before I collect the car end of the week

How much did you get your Turbo for @ANTS3 ?

Car looks great was going to do mine very similar. I'm looking at stage 3 and not sure what route to go down.

What stage you currently running?

I got everything through my local revo dealer, at the prices stated on the website, and no stage running just yet, going to go from standard straight to Stage3 once everything is bolted on

They’ve used window tint film, gone lighter on the front and a bit darker on the rear

 

[ANTS3]

Revo engine mounts fitted

 

[ANTS3]

Rieger diffuser fitted! Happy with how it looks!
