My 8P Audi A3 S Line

[Gaz86]

Picked this up at the start of the month but haven't had a chance to get proper photo's as of yet, here are some from the dealership though.

It's a 2008 A3 S Line with full black leather, heated seats, Audi Concert sound system, one previous owner and a mere 49k on the clocks.

I have already debadged the tailgate, fitted some nice new mats with embroidered S Line logo's, removed the mudflaps and dropped in a set of H&R lowering springs which is a huge improvement over the somewhat "choppy" S Line springs. My only other plans really are to fit 10mm spacers front and rear and perhaps some pressed plates and refurbish the alloys (one previous lady owner... ***ahem*** sorry ladies )

Other than that I'll just keep it mint and drive it

A petrol Audi? Are you mad.....?

 

[gary87]

Looks great, is it a 122 or a 150?

 

[Boydie]

Nice - a FBMFSW is retrofittable as well as cruise control and the RNSE sat nav unit - makes such a difference to the interior!

 

[Lyons]

Very nice. Not many 1.4's about.

Careful, the anti-OEM brigade will be throwing their toys out of the pram again.

Wait until I suggest a 2 digit plate, oh wait!

Have you been on Audi-sport net or whatever it's called.....

Think after my experience with the Disastra I'm put off diesels for life

Looks great, is it a 122 or a 150?

126 I think these are, it's the 1.4 TFSI, I'm quite impressed with this engine to be honest, it's no rocketship but it does alright for what it is and it will do me rightly for the next few years

Don't tease

I've only had a quick nosey on there, this is the only forum I ever post on though

 

[Gaz86]

Will be at Castlewellan this weekend, excuse the state of my alloys though a refurb is on the cards very soon

 

[Mont]

Never mind all that steering wheel/nav business. I hope there are nicer mats hiding under those rubber ones

Lovely looking motor buddy. HTD

Was the very first thing I ordered I think the rubber ones were just put in for the photo's as it had just been washed. I'll get some better photo's up when I get a spare minute. The new house is taking up all my time and money at the minute lol

Thanks very much


Just landed on my desk I swore by this stuff on my old Nighthawk black EP3 so ordered a new bottle

and ordered some of this to try out, always loved the 476S so hoping this is as good if not better

Looks good enough to me

Don't be quick to discard it, there are many benefits on the Audi forum, discount on all dealership amenities and invites to exclusive drive day events, but to name a few

Lovely motor

Think I have registered but and nosey'd at a few threads but that's as far as I've got

Thanks

 

[Gaz86]

Gave it a good clean last night and took some pics this morning. This is how it's sitting now on the H&R's

Will try and get these alloys resprayed in the coming weeks, they're in a bit of a sorry state at the moment

 

[Ruairi83]

Lovely car bud. Sparking in sun perfectly.. Looks great with springs fitted. What H&R did you for? 40mm?

 

[Gaz86]

Thankyou They're 50mm springs but with it being an S Line it only dropped it about 25-30mm lower than standard. It's just a nice height I think. Doesn't look broken like some do lol Needs a set of spacers to get it looking just right now

Looks perfect bud. Spacers will finish it off .

 

[Coog]

Looks good! It'll probably settle a touch too!

 

[G N K]

The A3 is a lovely shape car, always liked them. Springs have definitely helped the look of the car, you any plans to change the wheels?

I like the ones on it personally but there was someone one here selling genuine new CHs at great money.

 

[Gaz86]

I'm not sure it'll settle much more than that @Coog, they were 2nd hand springs and I've already racked up a few hundred miles in the past week, I'd say that's them settled in now

Nope I quite like the ones on it. Would love a set of Pescara's or similar but unfortunately I've a house to pay for now so those kinda things get put on the back burner almost indefinitely these days I'm happy with it as it is, they just need a refurb as they've had 7 years of some bint grinding them against kerbs by the looks of things

Refurb the wheels a nice hyper silver and it will complent the car more when refurbed

Yeah a hyper silver would really set them off

 

[Mont]

You really can't beat a clean black car, even if they are a nightmare to keep that way lol

It's sitting really well on those springs now.

 

[midgelfc]

Looks lovely, almost exactly like mine, when i got mine last year, 2007, 47K miles, one lady owner! As boydie has said FBMFSW makes all the difference to the interior and how the car feels after driving.

I've been toying with the idea of fitting a RS4 start button to mine recently just to give me something to do over the summer!

Looking at your pics again, your arse must have been roasting the day you took them, you had the heated seat set to 5

Total pain in the arse, heartbreaking almost lol keep saying no more black cars but this is my 4th now. My Collinite No. 915 Carnauba Wax just arrived in the post, can't wait to get some of that lashed onto her

Where would you put the RS4 start button?

I didn't take those first pics, the dealership did, those were off their website when I spotted the car for sale that was promptly turned right down to zero when I took receipt lol

Any pics of yours?
