Will the Bluemotion undertray cover the S3 jacking points?  :popcornsoda:

I have the earlier Audi lift pads installed (same position that the S3 ones would fit) and my under tray doesn't foul it in any way.

I'm going to order one of these then regret it when trying to fit it. Although on my old diesel I perfected the art of using my leg to hold it up while I got some bolts in to secure it.

Possibly a stupid question, but would this help aero flow under the car much? Kind of assuming so as it's on the bluemotion...

Yes it improves underbody aerodynamics as well as keeping crap out of the engine compartment.
Another plus point is it quietens the engine noise in the car's interior.

I already have a full under tray from a TDI.

Is the blue motion one made of metal?

So it wouldn't be of any benefit really for me...  the plastic one defo saves my bacon. Although I'd like to see a full under tray cover the subframe bolts too.. mine are ground out..

PS was it you I met at Alex's? Recognise the car .

Give PSI Tuning a shout, I spoke to them the other day about products from ECS, they listed them on the website the very next day so I could order it!

Believe it's to do with noise of diesel engine.
No biggy you can bolt them up very easily.
