Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

Got my GTechniq ceramic coating topped up after the rubbish winter we’ve had and got a few little scratches removed by my local detailer. Like a brand new car again :thumbs up:
Stunning.

Here’s my car after it’s been detailed by another detailer, as the original one did an awful and rushed job, they didn’t even remove fallout before ceramicing, and the wheel coating that they assure me was applied, failed before the first wash.

Originally done by Reep Scotland

and now fixed by AR Detailing

Annoyingly I had planned to use AR initially, but ended up going to Reep because they were Gtechniq certified, costly lesson learned

I wish there was enough room in the 8V to sleep in the back!

Hence I want an RS6.... looks like you could sleep in that easily!

The floret and the silver alloys and roof rails with the darkened glass are a really smart combo. Started me thinking about floret next time round.

I was unsure about the privacy glass when I ordered it as I’d yet to see a silver one with it in person, but turned out to be a good choice

@Snake Pliskin - Had a white GTE but mine was a 16v
150bhp felt so rapid in its day

1 of the dash lights failed on it & it took me 1/2 a day to replace the ****** bulb
Had a nice set of skinned knuckles after too

Ah the GTE, know them well

Had 3 off and in all engine guises.

2.0 16v with Coscast red top head was my fave.

Then there’s the Spectral Blue GSi
