[paul26982]

How it looked when i got it





Have since bought some Genuine RS4 18'' Alloys and painted them black, done my calipars black with white Audi declays on the front ones, and de-rear wiper'd the rear. Also modified the standard airbox and added a CAI.








Lots more planned

recieved the other day my carbon fibre, Front S3 Bumper, Rear S3 Bumper, ABT Plate surrounds, ABT pillar badges,


Carbon B pillars


S3 Rear bumper needs alittle work, wrong colour any way, also grey panel will be repaird and carbon wraped


Plate surrounds just need to order the plates

[paul26982]

as ive sold my rear bumper, fitted the S3 one over te weekend even though its not painted, quite a good fit, this is only temp. as tere is most likely room for improvement, heres a pics also of my s3 front bumper, the person who sent it put packaging tape on the acuall bumper so is marked, needs a good clean.

Quick Question........

[paul26982]

Picked up my back box yesterday, just to tide me over with really and for it to fit in the s3 rear bumper, a oval jetex







Also booking the car in on monday to get the rear bumper painted for the following monday

[paul26982]

wanting some s3 interior bits, the gloss black centre console, gear stick console bit and handles, just waiting for them to pop up at a decent price, last night i was bored had some paint in the garage and decided to paint mine for the time been, turned out ok, just forgot to do the ashtray

[paul26982]

Fitted the exhaust the other day, just need a bracket making for it to sit slightly alittle more up, will get pics when done, was scouring ebay other night a company had aero wipers on starting at 0.1p and £8 postage, won them at that, heres pictures, excellent quality and work really really well, a million times better than standard

[paul26982]

Also received my S3 front grill today, in excellent condition, bit of another bargian at £22, just need to paint the rings and surroung black now.

[paul26982]

Fitted my exhaust, just needed somthing that sat in the bumper properly, just temp really until i go for a different turo next year, also fitted my rear plate and surround




Nasty weather outside so havnt been able to clean the S3 front bumper properly, still waiting on my lower grill clip, lower grill and cupra R splitter, got my washer caps just need to paint them, also fitted a front number plate and surround, personally think it knocks around 7 years off the car , also decided to paint the grill surround and audi rings black which looks miles better in my opinion, just need some facelfit headlights to finish the front end now!

[paul26982]

Received my S3 door cards today, Blue and grey suede, over the moon with them, £27, bit of a bargain i thought, just needs cleaning, can see in the pictures just give a quick rubb with water, but have some good interior stuff, need to get some black leather for my interior pillars now and some blue suede for the roof liner. Going to put them on tomorow i think.

[paul26982]

Sorry for the poor pics, heres the door cards fitted, much much better, think ill go for some audi TT front and rear seats, roof liner and pillars will be done this or next week

[paul26982]

Received my grill surround for the lower bumper so fitted that along with lower centre grill, Leon Cupra R splitter and removed my S3 badge today, cant beleive how much better the front end looks and new compared to the old bumper etc, just need to spray my washer caps next week and add some facelift headlights, ive left the fog grills out as i want my intercooler pipes to be on show when i get it, also going to do them black.

[Wayne King]

Could look really good when you finish it, well done. But one thing, surely you would want to fix the damage to the rear wing if you are going to all this trouble to spend money on making it look better etc?!

[paul26982]

agree, body shop is the last thing, exterior and interior will be finished this year, next year will be k04 hybrid and engine mods, when its finished will be going to the body shop

[missing the VR6]

Looks nice, hope there's going to be some serious power to back up the S3 replica looks!
The boot badge is just stuck on so whip it off, nice free mod!

[chrissyr32]

[paul26982]
