If in Gloucestershire please go see Nigel at Glos Detailing, take a look at what he has done

I knew it, the coincidence of the plate was one, but the green S3 saloon also gave it away! I was in there today getting the wife car MOT and noticed it straight away.

Picking mine up Friday, and trust my luck it looks like it's going to rain... not much I can do tho really. Who did you deal with? My sales exec has been pretty decent too!

Enjoy by the way!

Ahh you'll love it mate! Although I've just had to take mine back to them as it's Brake Pads Warning light has come on! Only done 100 miles thought these where reliable haha
I dealed with Laura!

How it should have came from the factory imo - springs and spacers added, handling and steering has improved massively!

I fair fancy spacers, 15 on the front and 20 at the rear but petrified of stone chips :'(

Oh man, not good - Hope it gets sorted soon! Warrington are pretty on the ball, I'm sure they'll sort it quickly. I've got Laura too!

Cracking looking car...awesome colour and the Pano-roof.....perfect,butl just dont like them black door mirror caps on a S3

Have to disagree the black mirrors work well on some colours, those wheels are a different level think I need knew wheels

@Bristle Hound, Tom.H, Billy docherty, Audi Bairn. Thanks guys; tough choice because the S3 suits all its colours so it was a gamble going for an unseen one. Was variously tempted by Navarra, Glacier White, Floret, Daytona, Panther, Tango... All great in different ways.



Cheers, couple more of the same then. Pano roof suits the black styling pack I think. Apologies for the heavy-handed use of contrast curves on the rear shot...

Yeah we're all different mate l just think the matt aluminium door mirror covers are the signature mark of the S/RS cars,also black door mirror covers will mark and swirl within months of ownership where as the matt aluminium are low maintenance

 

[Snake Pliskin]

I think navarra blue is fave colour on the S3 saloon ... really looks amazing !!!

@keenu your car is stunning

Yip l think your right mate, Navarra looks awesome even with the BSP saw one on the road the other day

I could easily be tempted by navarra myself next time round - even though it is very similar to estoril blue which I had on my S5 previously.

Running H&R springs plus TPI spacers - 12mm front 15mm back. Think 15 front 20 back would have been perfect but was afraid of rubbing if I ever get bigger wheels in the future.

All clean again and broke the 1k miles love a clean car time to get serious

Glos detailing once again have performed something special, so happy with what Nigel has done. As I said before if in Cotswolds you need to see this man.

What products did he use?

Not 100% sure but I know he does use SiRamik, it didn't go for the full blown package as a PCP car, he has a Facebook page under GlosDetailing, worth a look.

Sorry, but I personally felt that people are really cheap on pictures. Would have loved some more pictures before purchasing myself. People only post the same type of pictures from same angles after they washed their car. Booorrriing

Mine was brand new. Picked it up Friday, shot the picutres Saturday and posted them here as soon as I got home. I know that for you guys this is just a normal A3 but due to our sick taxes in Denmark it costed me 55.000 £. I am really happy about the car. Don't use words as "ultra fast", "internet" and "uk" in the same sentence. No one would ever believe you. lol

Anyways, please accept my apologies for posting pictures in a picture thread
