Audi S3 jacking points added to my car :-)

As title, as i take the wheels off quite often thought i would add this little mod, saves damaging the underside of the car

And how easy are they to install?  Good practical mod imo.

There is also a Audi TT kit which is cheaper but you dont get the covers for the front which i think is important as it covers the underside , plus they sit higher up in the holders part numbers below

These are a great mod, seen them before and really surprised they don't happen more often.   Nice work Shaun.

took me about 20 mins, you just pop the old cover off on the backs, insert the rubber bung, it does need a jack to pop them into place (i put a socket bit in the middle to help) , then you insert the plastic bit and again use the jack to pop it into place, done for the back  , the front is a matter of removing the plastic cover as in the picture (it helped to remove the surround as well, its just held on with two torx screws), then again you push the rubber bung in place with a jack, then insert the plastic cover/ jack point (this part is two parts  combined), done

What's the reason for the yellow tape?

[vRS Carl]

Probably for dumb spanner monkeys to see where the jacking points are.

Its so you and mechanics can easily see where they are   , not a necessity but nice to have all the same

[kevinm]

Cool thanks. I fitted the TT ones about a month ago and did wonder about leaving the cover off. It will be fun getting them out now

  Great mod Blue, and definitely worth the money IMO. I have had the car up-n-down loads since I got it.

I have always thought that someone should come up with a mod to make better jacking points for a trolley jack. Lets face it the "widow-maker" jacks in the boot are dangerous 

If only there was a better location for the axle stands I have. The shape they are, are a real pain. They don't fit anywhere easily.

I think I'll get these from my local TPS too

Attention to detail on this car is great 

As said nice to see a practical mod.
