Akoya A3 S line.
« on: April 15, 2012, 06:08:56 pm »
Hi peeps! Today saw me get rid of the VXR - never really gelled with it. Great car but jut something missing for me.
In a rare bout of sense I decided to go for an A3 8p sportback, S Line 140. FSH, 1 previous owner.
Really chuffed with the pescaras (or whatever the Audi equivalent is called), got some cosmetic tweaks planned but not much.
Couple of pics

As always comments welcome.

Had the R32 for 3 weeks (was away for 2 of those) and had the VXR after that. I do like a change!!

nice... Akoya Silver?

the wheels don't have a name, they're just called "14-spoke alloy wheels". they're a little different to Pescaras (ET 54 instead of ET51 and they're not that smoked colour the Pescaras are)

That looks nice, how come a change to a diesel?
So it's you that had the white K1. Seen that around with your number plate in Huddersfield.

Just fancied a total change. Nice looking car and cheap to run. Be a change of pace for sure.
Don't mention the plate. Sold the K1 on the understanding the new owner would put my plate on retention for me. Never happened. Stopped answering all calls, texts, emails!!

Yeah, Akoya. Should be relatively easy to keep clean.
I'll prob change the colour of the wheels for a bit of contrast against the paintwork.

Black grille today. Looks better I think. Once my mirrors are changed and wheels done to tie it all together I'll be happier.

Let me know what you think.

Much to my surprise my new mirrors covers arrived today. Excellent quality and OEM fitment.
Set off the grille nicely.
Obligatory iPhone snaps





Next on the agenda's a set of H&Rs.
