All - thanks for the responses....Havent been able to post as I was picking up my new interior yesterday...it was a long journey...but well worth it. Lots of fitting to do now...

I thought they looked a little lost on the 18's too - Although the S3's seem to get away with 18's better.

Easy m8....Saw your motor on another thread - looking very tasty - got any more shots of it? See your power has taken a massive hike as well...320 naughty horses! I like the Reiger S3 kit front bumper with the integrated fogs...with some simple side skirts. I am a bit lost on rear bumbers at the moment, that might take a bit of hunting.

Handling wise, I have found that it handles a treat - seems alot more surefooted, the only thing that could be considered negative that I have noticed is a nip in the snappiness of the acceleration - but the top end has increased - unpublishable speeds!
The spoiler is a genuwine S3 spoiler....managed to get it in the right colour from a wreckage.

That was me that you saw - I saw your motor as well...was snapping my neck back to have a look near the discount cycle store. Your car looks fresh!

Well spotted - Angel eyes they are. Apparently they have taken a strong slating on the site...but in the metal..well plastic, they actually look very well. Having said that, I have them on a silver car, so they dont stick out in garish way. You got pics of yours?
The colour coding was done quite a while back when I was having some key marks taken out - to be honest I cant remember how much it was. I do recall it being quite expensive as the plastic on those parts are quite flexible and they need to be hardened before they are sprayed.

I know what you mean with regards to the 18's & 19's on the S3/A3's. IMO the S3 due to the larger arches can get away with a smaller rim, but to make the A3 look as aggresive tends to need the bigger rim as the arches are nowhere near as flared. Im after adjustable coilovers next so that I can get the perfect ride hight.

The car has been dropped 40mm - I think the TDI sports came with a similar suspension setup as the 1.8T sports. On the standard srings the car looked like a roller boot with escalade rims....definately recommend that you hold out on the 19's until you can do the suspension at the same time.

Was knocked about the last pic...took it on my k800, which usually gives a good result...was just in a rush not to get noticed with my phone out in a gas station - LOL. More shots will be coming up when I get a chance to clean it properly - havent given it a once over since it came back from getting the engine sorted out.
Right...Im going to dig out the posts on fitting S3 interiors....piano black insert me up!!
