Hello all

Thought I would share a few of pics with you that I took earlier of my 2001 S3 (Apologies for the picture quality, it was getting dark!)

Happy Christmas smile

Thanks mate!

They are 18" Brabus Monoblock V's taken from a C200 and powder coated black!

Was sceptical at first, but now I love the look cloud9

Cheers again

The car needed definatly needed the map, spent a while researching it and in the end went for CC as they had good feedback from other users, were well priced and were available for mobile tuning. I expect there are a lot better and probably a lot worse remaps out there! All in all, im happy with the results.

Thanks Bud (and this was mid clean wink)

Depends really, higher mileage 2000 W reg ones from 5k i reckon, right up to 10k for a decent 2003 model. Though I havn't checked in a while so prices may have come down slightly!

I dont see many on the road (maybe thats just me) so was definatly a better purchase over a golf i was thinking about.

Wheels look awfull, too small at the front and the car is too low but each to their own i guess. Otherwise really nice looking car.

Nice car ... Wash that sponge before you use it again and drag gravel across your paint!

That's cool, I just wasn't a fan of the standard 17" wheels and thought these were a change to the usual RS4 alloy upgrades you see on many S3's.

(and yes it is low, but it handles fantastically and isn't too much of a harsh ride! tongue out)

Keep the wheels I can see the appeal! Bigger wheels would mess the handling anyways.

I agree there are too many cars running around on rs4's.
