Build Thread Apparently

I went with kW Clubsport adjustable topmounts on mine.

I wouldn't say comfort is any part of these...the ride is controlled if you get the settings right but utterly crunching.

Forgot about German Top Suspension System builders, KW, H&R, Ohlins, etc.

Following this

Ensure to use corrosion inhibitor in coolant this as well. That rust in your block and hoses is a tell tale.

Impressive build thread mate, I can see that a lot of hard work and money has been put into your S3, great job!

I have been searching high and low for a picture of the original S3 grill with chrome rings & surround but with black slats and licence plate holder however no-one has one, not even a photoshop request thread could give me exactly what I wanted but you've saved the day! So thanks for the below pictures it looks smart, did you just Plasti Dip (or equivalent) it?

As mines the 07 pre-facelift chassis, then my only other alternative is to buy an RS6 grill for a couple hundred quid and then hack it up to make it fit which I do not fancy doing.
