Right guys back in February I purchased an imola yellow s3. 80,000 miles, heated seats and parking sensors which was a bonus. Everytging was going great until I hit the following week. 5 faults appear. What great luck now.. Not. So rung the garage up and they happily took it back and repaired it.
Three days later car was fixed, or so I thought as after having it 3 more days that's when things got messy. Tutbo blown, driver rear wheel hub bent, traction control not working. So within 2 weeks all this has happened. By this time I was p*ssed off extremely as I have just bought a car which turned to a nightmare.
After asking them for my money back they refused. They then tried to blame me for all the problems - just what I wanted them to start acting like tw*ts. So I spoke to my father and we went down the route of taking them to court. Great.
4 months later, after having a mediation phone conference with them they then agree to fix it. This was back in June. So end of June the car went, from then until this week I have been waiting for a call to say it's ready... Wednesday hit and we received the call. And today I went and picked her up! So far she has been brilliant! No issues, so now it's my turn to show her some respect and get her back to a good standard following by some modifications.
I have chosen revo as badger is about 3, 4 hours away and revo is 5 minutes away.
I have booked the 17th and 18th of December to get a full service done, haldex service, cambelt, water pump, leak test etc so far coming in just over £1k. And then any additional pipe I might or should replace. Following this I am doing my stage 1 which I will have additional upgrades of forge 008 dv and badger v2.2 TIP with jetex filter which I will be ordering both Monday. Please let me know if I should do anything else.
I am on the look for better brakes, coilovers, xxr530 alloys, polybush kit
By end of this year or January I will have the addition of Christmas/ birthday/wage money into my bank and I shall go down the to get a full 3 inch turbo back exhaust (unsure on where at the minute) airtec intercooler de resonated boost pipe which goes down the side of engine (because I can) and stage 2 remap (I'm unsure on anything else I shoudl think about doing).
Tomorrow when it's bright amd hopefully sunny, I shall upload some pictures.
If anyone can share any suggestions or advise that will be great!

tomorrow I'm also hoping to change the rear lights, new numberplate section/lights maybe try fit my LCR front splitter. I might do the airtec intercooler with my stage 1 depends if I overspend on Christmas presents. If not then will do it in January
