    Final mod for the A3? (We'll see) Facelift Recaro seats fitted.

    Fitted these about a week ago now, but only just taken some pics. The plan was to get them re-trimmed in leather and alcantara, but as I'm thinking of getting an S3, they will stay as they are. Look much better then the original checked interior anyway IMO. Can't complain for £150 Inc the...

    S3 prices. Will they go up or down when the new S3 is released?

    As subject do you reckon the prices of the S3 will go up or down when the new S3 is released? As you've probably seen from my other thread? I'm looking at getting one, but I'm just wondering whether it's worth hanging on for the new S3 to be released before I purchase. Mark.

    Thinking about getting an S3, shock horror LOL. A few Q’s

    OK some of you will think I’m mad for contemplating selling my A3 after the time effort and money I’ve spent on it, but I’ve always liked the S3. Before I couldn’t get insured on oen, and the final few mods I was planning to do on mine will cost big money (Engine and interior re-trim). Also at...
