Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

Thanks Jassy ... just got myself a nice set of P Zeros, using Meguiar's Hot Shine dressing which looks fine but yours look really slick.
Just ordered the Fireball Blue wax, I'll get a post up this week once it's cleaned:blackrs4:

My "Black Edition". Changed the grille surround, fog light grilles and mirror cases.
Next plan is to have the wheels painted to L4EE color.

The Ara S3 after a dose of Gyeon MOHS+. More pictures to follow once I get them off my camera. The Ara Blue looks unreal in the sun.

Looking awesome stranger..............lol did you get the alloy sorted

Cheers Jassy, I've been lurking. Just been busy with training at work.

Got it sorted yeah, not quite as it was from factory but never gonna get that. Looks good though, just need to get round to applying the GTechniq C5 now.

Beautiful S3. The wheels look massive in the last pic as well as looking a tad lowered!

so it was the first was with the syncro, snow foamed, rinsed then snow foamed again to add a bit more lubrication for when i go with the mitt and buckets.........the second foam slid right off the panels :tearsofjoy:

topped off with the Cure, im certain its the exact same stuff as carpro Reload, smells identical. Also finished off with some swissv seal feed, and carpro perl on the tyres.....
just gotta pray for the rain to hold off tomorrow
