    Petrol V's Diesel

    I got the mrs her 2.0 tdi as it was cheaper to run simple as that to be honest, Audis have always been a dream car for her hence going for the A3 to begin with but as for engines ect I didn’t specifically want a diesel or petrol, it was just about cost overall and there’s no petrol offered on...

    What colour alloys look best on a white A3 Sportback?

    Honestly don’t think you could go wrong with either one of them! There all nice in there own way, gold would definitely stand out the most, black generally ties in really well with other accents on the car like badges, window tint ect and grey would be the happy medium, choose what you like...

    Are 17" alloys too small for an A3 Sportback?

    18”s on mine, i definitely wouldn’t go any smaller to be honest, I think 18”s are a perfect mix of ride quality and looks, also tyres are cheap as there not very wide.

    What have you done to your A3 (8p) this week

    That was the original plan but we ran out of time unfortunately, will more than likely do it when we re do the bottom section of the bumper black :icon thumright:

    Remap day today and the little 8p yet again done me proud! Chris at Performance remap in Gloucester done a great job, the car made real good power even though he didn’t go mad as it’s high mileage but either way it still made great power and torque figures. Dyno figures: As you can see it made...

    If I knew how to do the folding mirrors I’d get it done I’m a bit naive to the retro fits, there’s to many words involved about electronics I don’t understand haha

    Appreciate it mate it sure is coming together, I gave it a full machine polish to help with the shinyness haha, as for the plates to put them on without screws you need fairy dust from ebay also having the sticker on the back window helps longevity :icon thumright:

    Good reputable body shop?

    Yeah sounds about right to me, I wouldn’t paint that colour for any less anyway, that’s a decent amount of work there so £1200 sounds good.
