Sprint Blue Audi S3. Update!

[s3_trev]

Didnt take you long to get them installed dude!! Looks far better now IMO, balances out the front and back now

Springs make a great difference!

Looks great bud. Springs make great difference.

Lovely. Always fancied a blue one of these.

Any spacers planned for the wheels?

 

[dc5Civic]

Cheers guys, I'm planning on a new set of rims, preferably CH-R's but that'll be a while away yet I imagine, thinking about maybe 10mm spacers for the back until there is a change of rims though.

Looks well.

Gunmetal wheels would look well against the black grill and window surrounds.

real nice car

From there I went and met @s3_trev and picked up a set of H&R springs and this is how the car ended up yesterday...

@feck_on_a_stick Jack kirk garage? Brilliant little number..pity its making way for the overpass etc

Well noob update but got some metro plates for the car changed the pollen filter which was absolutely disgusting! Wire brushed and painted the brake surrounds and hubs silver to freshen them up and gave it a wash...very hard to get a solid pic of the colour as it looks different in every light!

Still on the lookout for a nice set of rims for it!

Lovely lovely car.

What sort of wheels are you looking for? What about the facelift twin 5 spoke ones to freshen it up even?

Ideally a set of LM-R alloys with gunmetal centres like so:

only thing letting the car down is the alloys which are in pretty poor condition and need new tyres soon, but I'd rather put that money towards new rims instead.

Personally I think it looks great on the OEM rims

These in 19" are a close replacement

I prefer the standard wheels. I'd get them refurbished [emoji106]

Looks fantastic, a really nice shine.

Sprint Blue is a very hard colour to capture properly, it never looks great in pics, but in the metal it is a stunning colour. @Reno_LV captured some great shots of my Sprint B7 RS4 a couple of years ago, I was never able to make the car look good in pics myself.

I like the standard rims, if they weren't in bad nick I'd happily plod along with them, just with them needing refurbed and new tyres I'm thinking of putting that money towards some nice BBS's or something.

I'm not a fan of them at all mate, prefer my own if I'm honest.

I might buy some spacers and play about with them and see how it looks before I splash out on something different...if I like I'll maybe just refurb them. Don't want to end up spending the money on them and wish I had of changed lol.

If you do go for different wheels mate, be mindful that you may want a BBK in the future.

 

[pablo]

I always liked the A8 18s on my S3. Think I was the only one tho!!

 

[s3_trev]

I think you were on your own there Pablo is right lol

Haven't really thought that far ahead mate tbh, rims, stage 1 (prob a new clutch) lol then brakes I'd imagine.

@pablo I actually quite liked that! I always thought you had mk2 TT speedlins on yours for some reason!

Or.... you know...

Sooo much want for them!!!

[Jonny_W]

Have to agree with Lyons.

 

[Boydie]

I liked them @pablo
