Hey guys!
Not sure if you remember but a while ago I posted about having rust on my rear lock strip on my S3 which is very common flaw on them. Anyway, I bought a s3 lockstrip which needed rubbing down and painting again which I did.. (Warley from the forum did this very professionaly as u can see below!)
Anyway after finally getting it and trying to fit and I realised.. I HAVE THE WRONG LOCK STRIP! Didn't even realise there was a difference between the two of them!
Bizzarely the one I have is for a non facelift S3 as the lock strip mounting is completely different and the lock itself is recessed in the middle whereas on a non face lift it's just completely flat with a hole.. can you believe it!! So make sure you buy the correct version for your S3 if your thinking of doing this.
Anyhow means I have an absolutely mint rear silver lockstrip for a NON face lift s3.. See pics below:
Not looking to make a profit here just make back what I paid for purchasing and painting... which all in came to £45 + P&P (there about £60 + VAT non painted from the dealer!) Please contact me if you're interested, ready to fit and as you can see from above pics absolutely mint.
Thanks
