Little_Dave's S3

[George10]

I've been waiting for you to do a thread. Looks awesome mate!

[N8KOW]

Looks killer, love the brakes

Now that was all I had planned for quite a while but I've got two friends on here that are bad influences plus Alex was tempting me with all sorts of goodies  signLOL

So a deal was made and a kind of mini group buy set up for this little lot to be fitted

I'm always up for a good old deal

Loving those brakes! Nice to see a Silver s3 once in a while, looks fresh!

Cracking motor mate, love these s3's, will hopefully get a dsg sportback one myself next year.

at least you managed to save most of the bits from your golf to bolt on.

Best shape S3 out there 

Plans for this car looks epic 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Lovely 

[Little_Dave]

Thanks for the kind comments guys  

Jussa - yes you are a bad influence along with Marvin  

Dan930 - they are the 370mm bbk Alex was doing a while back, basically a 4pot brembo with a floating disc cooked up by Alex and daveB. Believe mike has a set but with the red brembo calipers instead of my black db9 ones

Mandy - yeah the grip level is immense and traction isn't an issue in any conditions, bet you're loving the difference of your R too

Mvb12 - always up for a good deal and I hold you responsible for the speed at which my cars coming along  

Paul_zx6r - thanks Paul you won't be disappointed if you get one   unfortunately most of my mods won't swap over from the GTI   the exhaust is routed differently, arbs are different spec, suspension too and obviously the interior is a no go too so virtually starting from scratch and selling off the old parts I can recover   only real straight swaps saw the brakes, wheels and engine cover

Looks fu**ing cool Dave! The black grille works a treat with the TD's in gloss black. Very aggressive looking which I love about the classy 8P3 shape, coming from a fellow owner with a slightly different aggro look  

I bet it drives very well.

Look forward to seeing it's progress.

Thanks Pete, was kinda lucky as it already had the black edition grill fitted so saved me a job, was looking into it before I got it so saved me the aggro of dropping the bumper to fit one myself 

Thinking about maybe black front and rear rings but not sure if it'd be too much

Also maybe getting the rear diffuser and front centre lip painted gloss black?

I've avoided doing mine black because everyone does it  and I've got a grey on black theme going, but it might work on yours nicely.

Gloss might work nicely. I want to make mine more silver so it would emphasise the bumper shape and make it look wider, help to add contrast etc...
Chose a good one if that's the case

Very nice.

Not much of an update but tried out the chemical guys stuff I received last week 

Gotta say I'm very impressed with the ecosmartRU waterless detailing spray 

Only cleaned the car thoroughly last week and didn't have enough time today to give it the full Monty so broke out the ecosmartRU, very easy to use and is a genuine spray on and wipe off product

Gave a lovely smooth silky finish to the paint with not much work and hardly any elbow grease, just spray on wipe over with a microfibre cloth and buff off with a clean dry one 

Found it is great with glass too as I didn't need to get out my dedicated glass cleaner aswell

Was sceptical about it being great on brake dust and wheels but again it did the job without much fuss and pretty much used just that and some Meguiars gloss tyre spray and I was done

On another note I finally put on my revo gameover sticker in the rear window, only a small subtle one



Looking forward to the Essex meet tomorrow morning 

Dave
