Not the normal exterior but an interior shot. Spent all weekend deep cleaning the inside especially the leather. Gone is the shiny leather and steering wheel. Hello more comfy matt looking leather.

My 2.0LT S-line special edition. Recently lowered on AP Coilovers, sits abit lower at the front now though as I chopped 10mm off the struts. Bit of bad news, my turbos not boosting! :disrelieved: Anyone had any problems with theirs? Want to sort it before I 'tart her up'..

Tom.. What did you use to De Gloss the steering wheel?

Baz
I used a flash magic eraser of all things. Just do one light wipe and then clean with something like Gliptone leather cleaner. Good as new. The pads are abrasive so do it light and once but that's enough. It'd be hard to damage the wheel but you could if you really went at it.

New to this forum, going to try put a bit of time and effort into using it a bit. Up until recently I've been thinking of getting rid of my A3, then for whatever reason I've decided to keep it and spend some time, effort & money into it! Will update with the journey!

Would 20mm spacers cause rubbing on S Line suspension?

Much better stance.

Just put 20mm on mine click my car in my signature for before/after
 
Aye, but it's on standard suspension isn't it, not the S line, so slightly higher?

Look at the shine on that, very deep.
Black is gorgeous when done properly

A few pics on the way to work early this morning. Hadn't realised how difficult it is to get Imola Yellow to look right.
I'm using a Canon 400D any advise would be welcome ....

Yes, pics are spot on.
What you could try is backing off the exposure by 1-2 stops on the camera. I always do when shooting in bright sunlight.
Photoshop can always sort out hues and exposure levels, they only need small adjustments to make a difference.
