I can see why the owner of the 720s would have this done .... But on a S3? now... . That's a very close call indeed l wouldn't but hey each to their ownCar went in for SunTek Paint Protection Film , full front, both wings and mirrors and grill.

What sort of figure did it cost mate? If I were getting another darker coloured car I'd be tempted to get it done all over! It's the stuff that heal itself when heat is on the car isn't it?Car went in for SunTek Paint Protection Film , full front, both wings and mirrors and grill.

got my insurance renewal in...and its gone down, yes DOWN £20, the email said "car: audi a3" so I rang to double check it was actually insured as an S3 which it was but have heard people have had the same confusion before....also resonator delete didnt effect the price at all.
also got my replacement drivers side air vent/bumper grill ready to swap.

im with admiral, AXA wouldnt insure me last year, had a quick check on comparethemarket and they came in basically the same price as Admiral. I was certain it was going to be more after seeing what people on here were saying, weird reallyWho are you with Matt? I ended up changing from Direct Line to AXA as they came in the cheapest, still more than last year though!

Admiral wanted £1055 for me, Aviva wanted £2087
I think some companies just pull a figure out of the air!

Total cost was £1180 for Full Bonnet, Front Bumper including the Headlights, Grill, Full Wings, Mirrors, Side Skirts and Part of the rear Lower bumper close to the back wheels are.

Ouch

OK thanks, if keeping the car 5 years it doesn't work out too bad, especially if it makes life easier. The main reason I sold the S3 so soon was because it was black and all the marks on the bonnet started to do my head in!!! I was constantly touching in tiny chips or polishing out light scratches etc. I love the look of black, but it's a full time job!
At 10k miles I was given a renewal quote from admiral of 550 so basically same as yours. Needed to up mileage to 13k though so £625 now.I actually ended up paying £567.25 with AXA, can't grumble I suppose lol

Best quote from anywhere else was 1300, most 2000.. Some places not willing to insure full stop lol.
6 year driving, 5 year ncb so can't complain much. Albeit that's a 4 vechile multicar.
That's not bad, my S3 was £272 last year and if I still had it this year it would have been another £100!!!I’m with AXA and just got my renewal and they’re asking for another £25, that’s the 2nd year they’ve bumped it up.
My renewal is £295 for an S3 Saloon but I’m going to get a few more quotes before I renew.
I’ll have to check to see if they’re APR map friendly too
Michelin PS4s all round and man what a tyre! I wanted to put them on my S4 but couldn't find many reviews at that time so I went ahead with PS3s. For the A3 I had to try PS4s with the view that if I like them I will replace my PS3s on the S4 when the time comes, hopefully end of the year.
I have only driven a few miles since the change and tbh it's a night and day difference in the ride / road grip compared to sh*t* Continentals that I had before.
And ... washed again with CarPro Essence followed by CarPro Hydro2 and the depth it gives is mind blowing... I don't think pictures do any justice.
Oh, and the car has previously been detailed with Scholl S20 Black Concept and a coat of Soft99Fusso Dark.

I read an article yesterday that claimed the average price of car insurance has dropped by £70 in the last few months. That never happens to me!
Depends on your age, I bet you are a lot younger than a lot on here that don't see it drop!I was shocked that my renewal dropped £100 this year with elephant, then reduced it by another £200 with esure, I was paying £1k last year though after getting 3 points.

I’m 35, I think this would have been the 1st time I met esures qualifying criteria. With all the reported thefts I was bracing myself for another increase.Depends on your age, I bet you are a lot younger than a lot on here that don't see it drop!
The very last thing l would fit on my car mate coz if it's stolen l wouldn't want it retrieved
Same, but as I travel a lot it will allow me to keep an eye on what’s going on while away. I also wanted to test one after installing a customer supplied unit.The very last thing l would fit on my car mate coz if it's stolen l wouldn't want it retrieved
That does surprise me, I thought you would say 20's! Unfortunately the next criteria I meet with regards to car insurance is in 3 years THIS ONEI’m 35, I think this would have been the 1st time I met esures qualifying criteria. With all the reported thefts I was bracing myself for another increase.
Same here, if mine went missing I wouldn't want it back knowing some scum bag has used and abused it! It would be like keeping your girlfriend/wife knowing that she'd been sleeping with another man behind your back I'd rather cash in the GAP and get a new car.....
