Before you sell it, buy a tin of plasti dip and do the front splitter black!
Think I'm going to keep the S3 to September then make decide to sell up and wait till next spring to purchase something just hope the price don't drop too much as there making strong money at present,

If I can buy plasti dip locally I'll go buy it in the morning and keep you happy!

The morning of Ultimate Dubs 2014, personally one of my favourite shows to go to, standard of cars is fantastic!

Cant believe you ran 20s on this static Kyle....

Speedlines were my favourite wheels but they all looked fantastic

I LOVE this car!!

Speedlines were tasty - I prefer them in silver though

Cantonas - I have to admit looked awesome!

LM's - I do like LM's in general and I can see why you went for them as they are the real deal, but Im not a fan of the reverse mount finish, are they 18's - they look a bit small in the S3 arches

I nearly bought an Imola yellow one of these with the RS4 seats - really clean example....but after a good testdrive I couldn't justify the cost to change...the 8P S3 does feel quite tame standard and the car feels a noticeably heavier both handling and steering wise and not overly quicker than the A3 2.0 T - probably the quattro system....

If I was coming from a completely different car I would deffo get one though - great cars!

They are far too tame standard mine was stage1 when I purchased and I thought it was still tame,

there actually 19s the LMs and could never be run on a low a3 mounted the normal way and especially not one with big brakes but I love reserve mount in them and had been looking for ages for them but I know it's personal taste,

Speedlines I'd love another set but i have a finish in mine that I wasn't gna start on them but if uz spot a set let me know people,

Cantonas suited the car better than I expected, but they were massive

Has to be one of my favourite cars about ATM. (y)

LMs are stunning. Black split rim bolts would be the only thing I'd try/change to tie into the black inners of the spokes.

Thanks Ian and thanks for that suggestion I'd never thought of that, before I finished them I near bought gold bolts too, the black bolts would break up all that polished metal too

Give better clearance with the slightly bigger rolling radius and I can't explain why but when I put them on last week for a few days to clean the LMs they drove really well, can't explain it unless the extra weight just helped the driving feel

Right I've been thinking long and hard about whether to sell or keep the S3
I've loved every minute of ownership and it's never give any bother, it's a really clean example which makes me wonder why I'm gna sell up.

The car will be sold standard as I couldn't face seeing it drive about, can sell for stage1 same price or stage2 for £1000 extra, I'll be looking for a standard leather interior and s3 8p2 or 8p3 alloys or possible 19" rotors.

Car won't be available till September but just putting it up here encase any one fancies it on here,full ad will come first week of September but if your interested pm

Don't know what's next but if the S3 stays I don't know how long I could hold off the temptation of a BIG turbo that's all, still more to come tho haha

Fantastic looking car mate, has to be said im not a fan of those LMs at all but those 20" Fat 5's, they are in a different league, really like them. Head over to Audi-Sport.Net, the guys would love to see your build thread over there, we will be having regular meets including at Audi dealerships etc.
