Jimojameso's 2010 Audi S3 Black Edition Sportback

Absolutely love this 

With regards to the seats, surely £420 each plus subframe costs, would it not be better to get a set of OEM Recaro's for the little extra it will cost. Then that way you can keep the heated fronts if you can find a pair.

I love oem recaro's but they're so rare and when they do come up there about £1800 and they virtuallly always have some slight bolster wear

Little update.

My forge spacers turned up yesterday, so i was excited to unwrap them when i got home from work! These should get the stance looking a bit better!

Will hopefully get these fitted tommorow if its not snowing! Pictures to follow! :)

[jimojameso]

Also forgot to add i got some mcguard black edition lockers to go with them! :)

This looks a tidy motor James  

Your drivers seat looks like mine when I use VCDS - wires and laptops everywhere  
Did you not fancy some new wheels with a wider stance & lighter mass to aid the speed intentions?

Spacers will make the stance look lovely though  

[jimojameso]

Thanks for the kind comments :) Yeah i do definately want new wheels but i just cant decide at the moment what i want!!

This is where I'm at too fella. There's some stuff that suits the black 8P A3 an absolute treat, but choosing between them in the right colour too is a headache.

[jimojameso]

Well if you have any ideas mate then get them up as im stumped ha ha. I cant find anything i really ,really like!

BBS CK, BBS VZ, 3DSM 0.01 have all taken my fancy. As did Nathans (Greeners') R32 Omanyts in 18x8 but wasn't sure on a MK5 OEM Golf wheel on them.

Have a google image search around for some bits and check out the wheel picture thread on here 

[jimojameso]

Thanks Pete, will have a look at those. I have always like the CK's  

Even though it was freeeeezing this morning i have cleaned the car and got the spacers fitted. Very pleased with how the car looks now and after a good little test drive i can report no vibrations what so ever, so i'm very pleased. Here a few pictures.

Next plan for the car is to hopefully get the dsg remapped. This will allow higher rpm launches, increased torque limits, etc.

Lookin good pal, the spacers make a huge difference the stance 

[jimojameso]

Cheers Gaz realled pleased with the difference it has made! Thanks for the kind comments!

Small update.

I always wanted recaro's when i was searching for the right S3 but didn't manage to find one in the spec i wanted at a decent price. Anyway finally got some recaro's and went for the RS4 ones. They are retrimmed in red nappa leather and i'm over the moon with them. Door cards and rears will be done to match once my bank account has recovered a bit.

One of my fav mods so far! They hold you in the seat so much better and look the business. Always used to slide around a bit in the bends, even more so for the passenger who don't have the wheel to hold onto
