    M5 Temptation

    After being to my local Bmw dealer, I have left there very tempted by a new M5. Bmw are doing some fantastic deals on them right now as many people are wary on buying due to the uncertainty within the motor industry right now. A facelift is due mid next year, but what a motor. Puts the RS to bed...

    Wet and Dry alloy repair pics

    Scuffed the proverbial the other day. One pack of wet and dry from e-bay later and the wheel looks as good as new. Just waiting on some laquer to come to finish the job. Pretty chuffed with the results.

    Living with my RS3, 2 years in...

    Hi guys, I'll be honest, I have been looking around at other cars, mainly because I bought the wife an A4 black edition and I must say I love the tech and the room inside. So I looked at an S4. Then I got back into my RS3 and that was the end of that. Not often that I adore a car, but this one...

    Recommended tyre pressures on the 18's Black Edition

    Hi all, I picked the wife's BE up yesterday. Have to say, really impressed with the ride on the 18's and the tech is fantastic compared to my RS3, albeit a little quieter...;). What tyre pressures are you guys using? I have never gone by the manual always by other drivers experiences as per my...

    Got myself an A4 Avant..

    Hi guys, Got hold of a black edition A4 Avant yesterday for the missus. Have to say, what a cracking car they are. Interior wise is superb and lots of tech that the FL RS3 has got. My only niggle that gets me that the missus has and I don't is the dynamic indicators which I so wish I had on my RS.

    What car next after the RS3

    Just a general throw out there as I know a lot of us if not most have quite a connection with our current motors, PFL or FL. What's everyone thoughts on what car to go from next in a couple or 3 years time? For me, although the new platform A3 will be out, the RS will still be a couple of...

    Tempted to change from PFL to FL

    Hi all, I have received an email from my dealer who I will leave anonymous. Basically he knows my car inside and out, knows of the paint protection I have on the car and the condition. Basically it's showroom condition with just a little over 4K miles in 15 months ownership. That was always...

    Facelift FL RS3 order prices

    Hi all, Just wondering what people are paying for the new RS3 dependent on spec. It seems that to get a decent spec that will help for resale and not just a basic spec with a couple of add ons is coming in around the 50k's? Am I reading this right???

    Car Detail

    Hi folks, After getting XPEL paint film added to the front end and bonnet last year, I've treated her to a GTechniq detail to finish her off. Prepped, de-tarred, stage 1 correction machine polish, then Crystal Serum topped up with Exo with glass treated as well. I was dubious to see if it'd be...

    GTechniq CSL anyone?

    Hi all, I got the XPEL Ultimate paint protection film on my front end when I got the car new. Thinking of getting the GTechniq on the rest of my darling as apparently it is a fantastic product that gives a real deep gloss shine. I'm already quite OCD with the snow foam, two bucket wash etc? I...

    Removing Number plates

    Hi guys and gals, I know I've asked this before but I'm looking at changing my plate. Mine is currently stuck in so was wondering if any tips to get the rest of adhesive strip off the car. I've heard that Autoglym tar remover or wd40 helps? Sorry for repeating myself. Cheers....

    Glencoe run

    Well for the first time since I've had the car I went out for a spirited drive shall we say up through Glencoe and up to Fort William and back. The car was faultless and the roads showcased the RS3 for me. Popped down through Glen Etive, James Bond style and loved the sound through the glens...

    The 'RS' effect

    Hi all, Not like me to keep goin on about it but how good is this car we drive. I just don't seem to be able to get bored with it. Such a head turner, petrol station conversation starter and general monster. So glad I took the plunge when I did or I'd be regretting it now.
