"like" for the pic as its a great looking S3 - great alloys and of course the splitter sets it off. But shame going to sell it..but as I said in the other thread, don't blame ya.

Oh and as I know from following you out of ATIP, it sounds good :p

I will miss your stunning photos Matt of your S3 and your comments. I need to see a photo of the Defender, dogs and you in wellies in some off the road area in the Lake District.

*** pal yer really going through with the sale, can't say l ain't sad but in my experience i can see you in a All new S3 in a couple of years ,you WILL miss it though trust me, and you should sell the dash cams and the splitter on their own because? it will no doubt be a dealer who buys your car and they won't be interested in giving you more dosh for having them fitted, condition and mileage and tyres is all they are interested in, it will sell very quickly indeed, so get some of the dosh you forked out back for the splitter etc etc

I'd think the same... I'm removing the res delete and splitter on mine before I sell it probably.

I'm not sure what damage the splitter leaves behind but the Riguer one I've bought is only £200, I know the Method one is a few times that much! I doubt a dealer, unless a specialist type place would 1) notice 2) care 3) know anything about its value

Res delete, well... Same as above.

Heck, I might even put my chrome mirror caps back on! Maybe if selling privately I'll leave the carbon ones on but if it goes to a dealer... Doesn't make a difference probably.

So yeh. Makes sense to leave them on it you find the right buyer privately who gives a toss, otherwise probably get more money back by removing.

I'll be getting some good pics as I did with my pic when the right Defender crops up!

Oh I will definitely miss the hell out of it, no question, but I've been fortunate enough to even own the car let alone a brand new one and loved every second of it....don't think I did so bad as a young tosher :whistle2: (i'll save all that for the official post when it goes???? :sadlike:)

Aye not sure on the mods, dashcams I can't take them out myself, would mean finding someone local to remove the great work done by vagcarcoding. And IF one of these specialist car companies gets back to me with an agreeable number im hoping to leave them on and save the hassle, if nothings happening I'll be asking a few dealers for values and taking them off.

out of interest @jassyo06 didn't you sell your Sepang S3 to one of these specialist dealers? Do you recommend/worth sending them my car details?

Newly ceramic coated should be mentioned as well = more desirable
The car looks brand new so don't accept anything less than the price you want pal

Real shame you are selling Matt, but understand the reasoning. Love the defender myself, but not that much

Agree with jassy, unless you sell on her to enthusiast, I would take the gear off and sell

Ok pal, the Landy will be spot on for the "hard to reach areas" regarding photo opportunities that is. Will it be old school or new Landy, not keen on the new rear door !!

this lake district? they are wanting to repair it instead of a full replacement? or not wanting to touch at all?

I imagine, with all the fines VW/Audi have had to absorb, maybe they are building there cars out of cheaper parts to recoup cost. Just my opinion
