Hey guys and girls, I thought I would let you know that you can now buy a Black S3 Badge for the rear of your car from Dubstop in the US. This is a ready made badge, that requires no modding! They cost around £6 including shipping from the US. I am in no way affiliated to the company selling...

Hi Folks, just thought I'd give a heads up to those of you who own 2010 and 2011 A3'S3's and are looking to upgrade the horrid yellow number plate lights to nice white LED's without any need for resistors. Until today I had only seen these available on Ebay.De, but they have made their way on to...

Hi folks, this morning I ordered a pair of non-LED super white 37mm festoon bulbs from the US that will give the same pure white light effect of LED bulbs, but without the Bulb Out Error on the DIS. They weren't cheap, costing just under £30 including postage (the bulbs were only $12.99, but the...

Hi Guys, I recently bought a brand new set of Autotech HPFP internals (and OEM cam follower) and have enquired with a local independent garage as to how long it would take to fit these and they have quoted me 3-4 hours labour. Does this sound right? I think it seems a bit much, but hey, what do...

Hi Folks, since I bought my car a few months ago I've been looking for front indicator bulbs to get rid of the 'Tango orange' look of the standard PSY24W indicators and today on Ebay I found some PSY24W SV - with silver coating - bulbs readily available. They are BMW part number 63217161306, so...

Hi Guys, I love the look of the glossy black surround on the 2011 RNS-E navi system and have treated myself to a new one, which will replace my current 2010 MK2 RNS-E. Does anyone know if it will be completely plug and play or will it need any coding done? Many thanks in advance! Paullie :wub: x

I think it was you Martay, just coming out of your house and getting into your S3 around 13.50 today. Car was looking lovely and clean! I was on my way up to Customdubz at Kingswells when I spied you. Don't think you saw me though. :) x

Hey guys and girls, I was gobsmacked the other night to see a genuine RS3 black Optics grille for sale on Ebay with a Buy It Now price! I didn't have to think twice about it as I have always admired the RS6 grille conversion done by Mattandrew and have fancied something similar for my car for...

Hi folks, I don't know about you, but I found it a bit annoying how when I switch on my sidelights, my DRL's dull down to half brightness. I wanted to know if there was a way via VCDS to activate it so that I have my full brightness DRL's on along with my rear positional lights (basically...

Hi guys and girls, I just thought I'd let you see the new look of my engine bay. I had a Forge Twintake fitted a couple of weeks ago and wasn't happy with the way the bare engine looked, so Graeme at GNJ Motorsport sorted me out with a very good deal on the smaller of the 2 Neuspeed carbon...

Hi guys and girls, I picked my car up today after getting a few mods fitted, including a Forge CAI and full Blueflame TBE. It already has a Stage 1 remap on it at the moment, which I will be upgrading to Stage 2 in the next few days. The guy at the garage, where in fairness they are more used to...

Hey guys & gals, I thought it was about time I put together a progress thread as I've done a fair bit to my S3 since buying it at the end of January this year. This is my second Audi 8P and because of my love of the colour yellow it's my second yellow one (though the last one was a 1.9 TDi SE...

This was my last car, featured in the VXR edtion of Total Vauxhall magazine last year. Thanks for looking!

Has anyone managed to code their taillights to come on along with their DRL's on their 3dr MY10 A3 or S3? The default on my MY10 S3 is the US setting, ie DRL's only, without rear lights. I have searched, but can only find the codings to activate this for the SB, not the 3dr. Any help would be...

Hi guys/girls, today I thought I'd have a go at fitting my TT Mk2 air vents, but as a few guys who've done this job already had complained of breaking finger nails in the process, I figured out how I could do it with not a broken nail or sore finger in sight. I took my Astra Owners Club...

Hi Damian, I just wanted to say a great big thank you for the great deal you did for me with the Forge Twintake for my S3. I doubt very much that I would have been able to get a better deal ANYWHERE else in the UK! I'd urge anyone who is considering buying this mod to approach DPM before buying...

I picked up a stone chip on one of my chrome foglight rings, which I noticed a week or 2 ago, so today I thought I'd have a go at wrapping them in 3M carbon vinyl. Originally I was going to buy the new fog surrounds from the S3 Black Edition as I have a Black Optic grille waiting to be fitted...

Hi guys, does anyone know the part number for the grey bottom lip on the 8P3 S3 front bumper? I understand that this part is available to buy from Audi separately, unlike the one on the 8P2 model. Mine has been badly stone chipped on the right hand side since I bought the car and it's doing my...

Hi guys, last week I bought a Blueflame full TBE with 100 Cell Sports Cat (Resonated) from Ebay. It had only been fitted to a car for a magazine shoot and had a maximum of 300 miles on it, so it was a real bargain. Even better, the company who sold it couldn't find the original lightly used...

Hi folks! I have returned to the Audi fold after owning and modifying an Astra VXR Nurburgring for the past 2 and a bit years. I used to have a 54 plate Toucan Yellow A3 1.9TDi Sport before I moved to the Astra. I was a very happy VXR owner (please don't hate me!), but have to say I'm absolutely...
