    Facelift Paddle extensions / options for Facelift RS3

    Hi I wonder if anyone has any experience of the RacingLine DSG direct replacement levers made from Billet Alloy? I have seen them online and they do not stick or screw to the original paddles so seem to be a much neater solution. They can be seen @ https://www.racingline.com/vwr49g700. If...

    Facelift Regretting purchasing my S3

    Hi Just gone through this process and eventually settled on the S3 Saloon couldn't be happier with my choice. I tried the AMG A35 and initially was seduced by the exterior appearance and the high tech dash. When road testing the car I found the level of road noise from the tyres was really...

    Facelift A3/S3 Saloon roof wrapping

    Hi Thanks for comment. Interesting that your fin was body colour, mine as you saw was black against silver body colour which looked odd but now is ok. Pictures don't convey fully how it has visually joined all the components together but as you can guess I am very happy with it now.

    Facelift A3/S3 Saloon roof wrapping

    I have collected the car following the wrap being applied by The Bodycentre in Norwich to the roof section between the Panoramic Roof and Rear Screen. I am really pleased it looks to me how it should have looked from build, I know it is probably a bit of a Marmite issue but I am delighted with...

    Facelift Regretting purchasing my S3

    Sorry you feel that way @Son of the liberty it is awful if you get buyers remorse on any product but a car is such a high price item I truly feel sorry you are in that position. I have just bought a factory order S3 saloon and the opposite feeling to you where every time I get in it it makes me...

    8V FL Rear camera and rear PDC

    Hi Saw your video on YouTube regarding Hacks being done to get items working on a car only to lose the functionality if you have an update performed at a VAG dealership for warranty purposes.

    Facelift A3/S3 Saloon roof wrapping

    Hi @S32B Many thanks for the picture that is exactly the type of image I was imagining and all the better for seeing it on a car. The white black contrast works well and will be similar on mine as Floret silver will create a clean contrast. I think it is strange that on light coloured cars they...

    Hi I have just bought a new Audi S3 Saloon 2020MY with the PPF. It sounds from reading various posts on the Audi-sport.net site that your resonator delete pipe would give me a subtle improvement in the sound without destroying the quality in the cabin.There is mention of a discount for forum...

    Facelift Res delete questions

    Hi Very interested in your post regarding the BCS resonator delete pipe as like you I have a saloon and therefore your experience is likely to be more comparable than hatch versions. Mine is 2020MY so fitted with the additional PPF only have 800 miles on car so far. Do you have any sound files...
