What you getting?
Stirling Audi been on trying to get us to change the TT. But playing them off against the stinking deals and spec the dark side are currently offering.
A5 Sline, this deal would blow Stirling Audi and DP Bmw out the park imho!

Nice and shiny. BTW, do you also have 5 mm of untouched by the pad disc surface closer to the hub as it's on this picture?Show us them nice and shiny not still protective temp paint on.
And how come u had 288 in front originally ???
Is it what in new audis they fitting? I always had 312mm with a3 2011 and a3 2015..
Good choice! I had (still have) the assy5 on my old wheels. Great tyre. The only reason I chose Dunlop RT2 for my new wheels was that the assy5 are a little noisy in comparison to the RT2. I regret it, TBH, and consider to switch the tyres as I still have the assy5.Got 4 new shoes,
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5
Fully Fitted £87.17 per tyre.

I like them a lot! Stunning design and very shinyNice and shiny. BTW, do you also have 5 mm of untouched by the pad disc surface closer to the hub as it's on this picture?
Speaking of the 288mm discs, VAG fits them to cars with 150PS engines and below.

Went on Holibobs. Not to Spain, so no quarantine thankfully. There's a lot to be said for a cracking good UK based holiday. Easy to forget we live in a ruddy nice country with many areas of outstanding natural beauty. I even went to the pub. For the first time since early March. Real Ale never tasted better.
Every decent road trip begins with a properly detailed motor. Clean cars drive better. So here's the sensible family wagon, freshly buffed, the day before we set off (I've posted a similar pic before, about 2 years ago - good to see the car's still looking as good as it was then )

I've said it before on this forum (more than once, lol) - the S3, 8V Sportback, with roof-rails, is just about the best one motor for all occasions I can think of. With the roof-box on I have more load lugging capacity than an A6 Avant, for the 2 or 3 weeks a year I need it. The rest of the time I get to not drive a dull barge.
My opinion on the S3: Anyone hoping that it is going to be a sharp, nimble, track focused lap-time slayer doesn't get the proposition. What the S3 is, is a fast, comfortable GT - capable of doing everything very well, rather than one thing excellently. And that's exactly what I want it to be. Haul big miles, quickly and comfortably and enjoy the understated way in which you are doing so. That's what the S3 is for.
We headed over to the Royal Coast of North Norfolk (pretty near Sandringham - kept an eye out for Philip pulling out of a junction randomly, lol). None of the Bournemouth over-crowding nonsense in this neck of the woods - just VAST open landscapes, and hardly another fecker around. Brilliant. It was the first time our newest member of the family (Rocco, our nutcase Boston Terrier, 10 months old), got to see the seaside. Pig. In. ****.

Got back yesterday, and then had to deal with the state the car was in. Footwells, and seats, and boot, and roof-box full of sand. And the paint was as dirty as it has ever been. The front of the car was a bug holocaust. Spent 5 hours getting my trusty steed back to showroom condition today.
Top tip: Never scrub bugs. You'll mar the paint. Let a decent citrus based bug remover do the work for you. Blast the worst of the crud off with your pressure washer, then bug spray remover, (I used Gyeon Q2M Bug and Grime), let it sit for a few minutes (never in direct sunlight, always in shade), then blast with your pressure washer again. After that your ready to wash the car.
Gave the interior a good detail (including a much needed leather feed, with Colourlock Leather Conditioner), and finished off the paint (already well protected with various layers of stuff), with a coat of G-Techniq C2V3, diluted 1/1 with water. End result. Very shiny, and back in the garage.

View attachment 208268 View attachment 208262 View attachment 208264 View attachment 208265 After a serious of kerb mishaps I decided it was time for a refurb and went with powder coating instead of diamond cutting again, so picked them up today from " The Wheel Specialists " in Aberdeen after having them done in what they describe as RS6 black or as close as they can get it which when you look closely has a multicoloured sort of fleck through it but from a distance just black. really happy with the results and think it sits well with the pearlescent sepang blue on the car.
