Its all a personal choice, I took off my chrome/alloy/bling mirrors and went for painted ones, one of the best things I ever did to the car personally. The genuine ones are ****** expensive so thats probably why they get nicked! A few quid on paint and a bit of time preping and you could...

Some just paintede satin silver would be better than the chrome eBay ones if you really dont want body coloured ones.

Good to hear its sold mate, got mine up at the moment and the majority of interest Ive had seems to have been from clueless dreamers! Good to know there is a market out their for silver bt S3s :p All the best with whatever you get next mate

Keeping up with is one thing, round a twisty wet handling circuit is completely different to 'normal' road driving

Few recent ones of mine:

With the MTM Spec 3 on my car Im seeing 32mpg average on the DIS on my journey to work, thats with a free flowing route and alot of 5th/6th gear legal speed driving. In reality 60litres(13 gallons) gets me 350miles, works out about 27mpg. This is regular for me now When it drove it how it...

Glad to hear it, never let him forget it ;) I actually still had that signature image Tim from "back in the day" with the Custom Code and Revo parody, made me laugh Thanks SportsTractor, will see how eBay does for me. The new Velle is lovely, bit too expensive tho! Now got it up on here...

Proper bike mate, used to have a Ninja but got into a spot of bother, long story. Anyway back to wanting a bike again, fancy a Triumph Speed Tripple for blating to work on and the odd weekend run out. The 'Velle will be fairly new, havent got the sort of cash Split Screens are going for now, I...

Jealousy and your CustardCode remap wont get you anywhere fast sweetie :p I never actually got round to advertising it when I wanted to sell before and then I changed my mind anyway! When I lost my flat etc it wasnt high on my list of things to do. Sold the Rallye now, for the first time...

Cheers guys! Glad youve been enjoying the show Tim ;) Ill try and get a song dedicated to you! Ive been alright thanks mate, usual stuff, trying to keep out of trouble!

Am I allowed to post that up here? I think the last time I was on here there was a clamp down on people actually advertising cars (even just with prices) on the main forum as there is an actual classifieds section (which is it has just been advertised in)

Alright Rav! Ive just got to that point now where I dont have an intrest in driving! I drive it to work and back (15mile round trip) 5 days a week and then its parked up while I ****** off down the pub etc. Just not using it as it should and deserves to be. Sold my Golf Rallye on friday so...

Alright guys, not been on here in ages (couldnt get away from the place before) but was after some suggestions on where would be the best place to advertise my S3? Ive gone for on here and just put one thru on Piston-Heads, I was wondering if its worth me putting it on ebay or not? I know...

To some people anything over 80k is high even tho with some S3s 10years old its natural if they were used daily. My Rallye having 100k on is was seen as high, even tho thats 5k a year over its life

Thanks JS, I dont wanna overprice it or sell myself too short. HTC, cambelt was done at 80k when the conversion was, will leave it all for now and leave it as a bargaining tool for someone. Will be putting it on PistonHeads and will get some mates to put it up on the different forums for me
