Im all for improving a car while maintaining its identity, so the changes shouldnt be too radical IMO.
R32 wheels on a 20T, do make it look different, but it still looks like a 20T.
BBS rims on an S3, have a similar effect and so on.
Im just not getting the full cosmetic `conversion` to an S3.
Reminds me of the 90s craze of sticking XR3 body kits on Escorts pops.
All a bit naff.
That said, I take my hat off those for the sheer effort involved, cant deny that.
cheers

I wouldn't say it's a radical change at all. What are we talking about.... a couple of bumpers, a spoiler, some skirts.
How many people (including a lot of audi owners) would see an A3 with an S3 bodykit with no S3 badges and think it's an S3??? Not many, I would think.
I reckon most would only think... "that's a nice looking A3". Pretty much the same as they think when they see a real S3.
I bet most people out there couldn't even identify an S3, S-line, etc just by the bodykit.
I know that before joining this site I couldn't. Sometimes it's still not obvious.
