Looks awesome Ian! I am not a massive fan of the power delivery in standard form on the S3, a map changes it all and makes the car much more enjoyable to drive! Get it sorted ASAP, you will love it  :happy2:

I need a go in a mapped one as i felt the same when i had a go in a standard one!

Looks lovely mate, im not a fan of red cars usually (except RR's of course lol) but the wheels and black parts make it look  :drool:
i m not a massive fan of red either but now i ve got it i would nt swap it seems quite rare on the S3 too  :happy2:

Looks mint mate. Love red cars esp with the black grills. I know is been detailed but get some red mouse machine glaze for the future you won't regret it  :happy2: I'd like to try one longer term than a test drive to compare the grip, right time of yr for it compared to the ED30.  :smiley:

thanks for the tip but i ve used loads of different wax s and the lusso is brilliant ,very quick and easy to use ( apply really thin or its a pain !) , imo its a car you need to get used to , the speed it goes round islands is un believable :driver:

Looking good, and I agree on the not lowering it - they really suit 19s. And agreed with a map, unleash the beast!

The black styling pack works well with the red!  :happy2:


....x2

Very much so! The oem grill looks like a Cadillac! This is soooo much better.

And I can see how slightly darker wheels would better compliment the 'black pack'.

I can recommend a great new wheel colour from OZ..............  :evilgrin: Titanium colour!

Ian my mate has some brand new gen RS4 anthracite 19's but they have 255/35/19 conti's and not sure they will go in the S3 arches or not but you could prob steal them for £800 for the lot?
