Lovely looking car, I love the black optics kit - but have you see how much it costs on the options list at Audi?! I really like the A3, if don't end up with a GTi, it may well be an S-tronic 2.0T A3.

Does the Lamin-X not adversely effect the performance of the headlights? They look really dark.


i think it takes about 10% of the brightness (from what i remember), so not much really.  :smiley:

Sure the promo stuff quotes 5% light filter :happy2:

Looks very nice. I thought replacing the chrome bit of grille with a black one would look nasty but it's come out well.

Looks a bit orange though. Is that what it really looks like or just the camera?

No its the camera. I am gonna get some proper pics up next week when it has got the coilies on and it has been washed  :happy2:

It does make them a bit dimmer but hardly any difference. Mind you I have xenons like Gaz which are bright as hell anyway. I have not seen how they affect standard halogens  :happy2:

Thanks for all the comments guys. I really was not sure about the wheels at first TBH,but they really have grown on me quickly. When the car has been slammed I think it will make a HUGE difference. I have been shopping again today, the misses don't know yet :confused: I have picked up a bonnet bra and the mirror shells are going into the bodyshop to be finished in gloss black  :rolleye:

These pictures do not do the car any justice at all, it looks miles better in the flesh  :happy2:

I like the front splitter the way it is Joe. I think it breaks up the front end a bit, I think it would look too orange red if it was colour coded. I am counting down the days till friday now, I honestly cannot wait to be dropped on its arse, it looks plain wrong at the moment. This springs to mind  :grin:

i think it takes about 10% of the brightness (from what i remember), so not much really.  :smiley:

It only takes away 5% of the light. Light output is not affected on mine, i cant tell the difference.


Car looks ace Tom!!!!  :happy2: :happy2:
