New S3 8P owner here

[dave_beastttt]

Not new to ASN, came over from the 8L forum, but a borked DMF and cold weather have put that on hold. In the meantime i've picked up a mint MY10 S3 with 76k. It's lowered on H&R's with an RS3 grille, stage 1 map with some Forge goodies in the engine bay and running on MY13 alloys.

Already had to change a headlight ballast after realising on the drive home only 1 side was lit, then turned the engine on with the headlight disconnected and have a permanent headlight range error (I need it cleared with Vagcom? beer money anyone within the M25 )

It's grey, Pepper grey I think, can't find the paint code in the boot or service manual for touch up paint.

Apologies for the colour effect on the pics, my phone was doing it automatically

No spacers on there, they do really fill the arch nicely

Thanks bud, met up with someone local to me today, but need to adjust them so they're at low range first before clearing fault with VCDS (apparently)

Has anyone got a link for a guide/img to what the fuses in the engine bay fuse box are for?

Stunning looking S3 mate... Wheels are really setting that off

 

[fernando young]

welcome to the s3 team!
simply gorgeous, those wheels fit amazingly!!
it's probably meteor gray, dolphin gray or daytona gray.

I called Audi Customer services, 0800 699888 option 4 and gave them the registration, they said it's Meteor Grey Pearl LZ7H, now I can touch up the 1 small stone chip

Fitted my pressed steel plates and S3 badge today

Undid the 3 Torx bolts on the top of the grille and used the wedge technique to squeeze my arm through to fasten the back of the badge

Gota love the Meteor grey
