Collection day today at Southampton Audi after a 3 month wait. was originally told it would be a 5 month wait and was actually delivered after 2!!
Southampton Audi were generally very helpful throughout, got bottle of champers and a couple of Audi umbrellas plus a tank of fuel.
Aspect Valeting did a stage 2 correction and ceramic coating which looks great, it was pi@$ing it down when i collected unfortunately so its filthy already.
Went black on black which i know people think its a little boring but actually seem to be more greys and blues on here than anything else. My wife has a blacked out A3 so we are going for a his and hers look plus I visit customers a lot so can't be too flashy!

Thanks

No chance of that now buddy. Washed it for the first time yesterday since my last op and my back was ******** afterwards. My detailing days are over. Will need to be QD wipe downs from now on so I'll be sticking with silver or white. :blownose:

Quick start up video of mine. Sounding just how I want it to now, best sound when listened to with earphones.

Tom did the deal, was hoping to deal with Josh after we bought my wife A3 from him last year but he is no longer there.
Thinking about driving up for the meet but trying to keep my mileage down!

Long overdue pictures of the aftermath, 250km away from the 2000km mark...
pushing it (or shall I say her :wub:

) on the german Autobahn on its way home. Pouring rain does not help keeping it clean to english or german standards though.

However, as a good frenchman, it shall not be washed too often. Windscreen and bird poo apart :whistle2:

May be a dumb question but is a resonator had why delete it?

I presume you mean if it had it, why delete it?

It holds back a lot of the sound that the stock S3s from factory so desperately crave.

Resonator:

A resonator installed as part of your car or truck's exhaust system serves one main purpose — to resonate. It's sort of an echo chamber for your car's exhaust, preparing all of the loud noise coming from your engine for the muffler to silence it.

So yeah to get rid of it makes it sound like it should as standard, even with it deleted it's not by any means obnoxious, in fact it's not louder than its competitor the Focus RS example.

So you signed all the responsibility of the condition of the bodywork over to yourself, hence the transportation film is still on the car?

I don't take H/O of the car until Friday. So anything found is still Audi's problem. However, its been in since 9am this morning and so far no cries of anguish. So fingers crossed.

Just spent 3 hours on a nice clean. She's looking absolutely stunning!!

"Erm, where is the photo then sir?" you ask........ In my effort not to wash in direct sunlight, apparently I chose to wash in the dark. Only just finished up, so please use your imagination. Will hopefully get some pics tomorrow of her either looking beautiful or knowing my luck freshly covered in bird ****.

MikeSel^ · May 22, 2017

Watching peoples collections dates pass, an not seeing a great flurry of pictures I was confused! How could they not want to take a million pictures .... today I found out why! Collected mine at 11am, and have been driving ever since! (Stopped now) so I've only got a hand full...

Stand by it being my most favourite purchase.... EVER

Pretty sure, with time... I'll get some more!

Can you believe I've pushed it the 38!

taking this running in lark too seriously! Although today I drove some of my favourite windy country roads. The car really comes into its own! Really enjoyed accelerating out of then bends!

Tho visiting friends who own farms comes with its own tolls

Can't quite believe this is only the second day of owning her
