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

Managed to get a good wash yesterday. It is an old cliche but the photo (at least when quickly taken on an iPhone) doesn’t do the colour justice. The crystal really picks up the sun and the flecks stand out and give a real depth and quality to the finish. Still need to give it a polish and wax so could look even better.

Hi all

Recently just bought my 1st Audi 2 weeks ago after just having a little look in the forecourt and ended up walking away with a new s3 sportsback Black edition, unfortunately I secured a car that was already on its way through so couldn’t spec the car with the things I really wanted but overall still very happy with the car I’ll try put a couple of pics up. Cheers pip

The owner knows he has an ABT RS3 and that is what matters. Personally I like the 4 pipes.

Fair enough, it doesn't look like its popular with any RS3 owners on this forum either though. Plus it doesn't even sound better. Listen to it here:

Nice looking car mate, congrats.

Had my wheel fixed after getting forced off the road during the snow by a over confident Rangerover driver who came round a corner too fast leaving my only choice to mount a kerb hidden in the snow..

Don’t think they did a bad job..

There isn't nearly enough Red on this forum. Managed to get mine washed over the weekend, decent shine to it despite the clouds + clean up some ridiculously dirty exhaust tips. Think I may have left it slightly too long since I last cleaned them..

Agreed on nice alloys and the Mystery Blue...Seat is not sold in Canada or the USA.....pity as they make some nice and well priced options to either VW or Audi.

Haven’t been on here in a few weeks - flatout with work and things.

Have managed to get out in the s3 a few times with pictures along the way!
Also, took it to my local longlife garage and had the center silencer removed ! For such a minor/cheap mod to the exhaust, what a difference it makes! Very little to no droning depending which mode your in, highly recommend doing it if your looking for that extra pop!

Looking to get a front splitter for it now, anyone recommend any?

I was pretty close to getting a new leon cupra before the S3 myself, mainly because of the massive discounts Seat give. Turns into a £23k car if I remember correctly.

Just looked at lease deals for the Cupra, cracking value.
