My S1 - Smurf!

[RivieraS1]

Hi folks,

I'd like to introduce you to 'Smurf' - he's my 2016 S1. I've just picked him up today.

Spec is as follows:

Audi Exclusive Paint - Porsche Riviera Blue
Exterior Quattro Pack
Interior Quattro Pack
Privacy Glass
Heated Seats
Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
Arm Rest
Audi Sound System
Cruise Control
Flat Bottom Steering Wheel
Aluminium Gear Knob

I'd not seen the colour in real life before, so took a bit of a gamble on it. Really pleased with how he looks though!

 

[Ian Whiffen]

That looks fantastic, great choice. Enjoy

 

[RivieraS1]

Thank you I'm so pleased with it!

 

[RivieraS1]

Done my first 'mod' on him today - pressed plates.

He goes in to the garage on Wednesday to be lowered and have spacers fitted.

 

[Scottk]

You're not hanging about! Looks great and nice spec

 

[RivieraS1]

I've had the springs and spacers for quite a while waiting to go on - just needed the car lol. Might as well do it when the car is new and the bolts all come undone easily and the dampers aren't so easily upset by a different ride height.

 

[DTYME83]

love the colour

 

[RivieraS1]

Thanks

 

[RivieraS1]

H&R springs and 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers on the back.

Not the best pics of the lowering, I'll try and get some decent ones of him tomorrow

i personally think the spacers are too big prety sure could fail mot too

 

[RivieraS1]

To fail an MOT there would need to be read sticking out past the arches - it's all contained under the arches.

 

[DTYME83]

If turns out to be that much of an issue just remove the spacers for the MOT if you still have the car by then

 

[Ian Whiffen]

They look pretty snug. You have 3 years to enjoy them before the first mot anyway lol. Bit like decat or sports cat you just have to go to the right mot station

Those spacers are absolutely fine, as long as the tread is contained within the arches then it is legal. Looks really awesome, I absolutely adore that colour

 

[gingers3]

ok , thats good , i fitted 10f /12r on
mine they sit with the tyre edge level with the arch

It's 100% contained within the arches.

First time I've seen the colour on a dull day today with lots of rain and fog - and it still looks stupidly bright!

H&R springs and 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers on the back.
What size spacers,if any would I need with the standard 17's 215/40 wheels- ET 36,( anyone to reply)
Car Looking great, Cheers, Pete.

[RivieraS1]

I think the 17s have a different offset to the 18s. I know someone with 17s and 20mm spacers on the back though. I don't think he has anything on the front. I would have thought that 12mm ones would be fine though.

Love the colour mate awesome choice.

 

[RivieraS1]

Cheers

I've had a few bits hydro dipped in Carbon. Front grill, splitter, side bits in the grills and rear valance...

And a professional pic from Audis In The Park last weekend:

Don't think @RivieraS1 is on here too much nowadays. It really does look great in this colour and lowered a bit.
