Friday mate, it was suppost to be the friday just gone but they did not arrive in time  :sad: It is crying out for a slam, the gap between the arches and the tires at the moment is ridiculous  :sick: :sick: They will be on in time for sunday  :jumpmove:

Managed to get some spacers ordered for the rear wheels, they are sitting a little too far back in the arch for my liking at the moment. I also deleted the rear wiper yesterday which has cleaned up the rear end  :happy2: All is coming together for the Pod  :laugh:

I know! I was a little unsure about putting it on at first but it came out really well. It only required slight modification, it did not take long to fit at all, bargain at £18  :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

Tom, can you get a pick of a side rear end shot of an S3 and yours, because it looks like its missing something??, maybe roof spoiler is smaller? i know the Back bumper is a completly different shape to the S3. Seems somethings missing or it looks too Rounded??.
Maybe tint the rear clusters to match the front. Nice mods so far though Tom :happy2:

The only difference between the S3 rear and mine is the very bottom part of the bumper. The S3 has a little diffuser and mine doesn't, but apart from that everything is the same. All the rear badges have been taken off mine which certainly makes a difference visually, the four ring Audi badge is going back on this week, I took it off as I am getting it resprayed gloss black  :happy2:

Very nice!  You've done a good job!

I very almost bought the same model as I was tired of wasting my time looking at shagged GTIs.

I found what seemed to be the perfect one, Garnet Red (was an Audi Exclusive paint job on that car), fully loaded and only £9995.  I got half way there and the dealer called me to say someone had put a deposit on it...gutted!

Thanks matey  :happy2:

They are a good car it was just hard for me getting used to the power coming from a 330 BHP Edition 30. I nearly chopped it this week and got another GTI, my mate is nagging me to sell it but I decided to stick with it. I have spent a lot on it already and it would be stupid to sell it after only two months ownership. You don't see a lot of modded A3's which was a factor in my decision to keep it aswell  :happy2:

Ok, a lot has been happening this week with the car  :jumpmove:

I dropped it off on Tuesday morning with Jay (JPC) for a full paint correction. It turned out to be a bitch, there was swirls and marring all over the car  :sick: and the paint turned out to be rock hard. Jay said it was the hardest detail he has ever done  :grin: After over 24 hours of work on the car he got it spot on, what a turnaround  :drool: :drool: Here are a few pics of him in action, a full write up in the detailing section will follow in the near future  :happy2:







I picked up late last night and then it was straight down to Awesome in Manchester this morning to have the AP coilovers fitted. You can see in the other pics in the thread how badly it needed a drop  :surprised:









I am well happy with them, they have made such a difference. I have not had that much chance to drive it yet but the ride does not feel any different  :happy2:  and it feels like there is a lot less roll when pushing hard around a corner  :drool:

I have got a few other bits to do tomorrow and then I will be ready for the Pod on Sunday. Let me know what you think guys  :wink:
