    Front grill badge

    I could do with replacing my front S3 grill badge as it’s a bit tatty. How is it removed ?

    Wheel spacers on 8p s3

    I have standard S3 alloys with HR springs and 15mm rear spacers. I get occasional rubbing over large fast bumps. Even when 4 up its only occasional. I've also removed the said screw. Personally I'd go 12mm if buying again. Tyre type also make a difference depending on the shape of the...

    I want some growl

    I bought a Milltek non res cat back system and fitted it today. Sound is spot on, just what i wanted and so much better than i anticipated. There is a nice deep note on start up which rises when revved. Under load it sounds awesome, very addictive. Youtube vids dont do this system justice.

    I shouldn't have mentioned the R32 as it's clouding my original question. Either way what I gather is there isn't a mainstream exhaust manufacturer that have produced such an exhaust. Unless I go custom which I will look into.

    I want some growl

    4 pots can still sound good which is why I can't work out why the S3 sounds rubbish. I had a VXR Nurburgring with Remus exhaust which sounded mint. I've heard an awesome sounding Seat Cupra. Again 4 pot.

    I want some growl

    Its an exhaust matter. I have always preferred a bit of throatyness to my cars. The last one being a Mk5 R32 with non res Milltek. In a word.......Epic! My S3 sounds pants and while I would like a full BCS system £1200 is a non starter. My budget is £500 max so I've considered the usual...
