    Footwell lighting, what is needed and how?

    I did this on mine a while ago after seeing it on here. Gotta say it was 1 of the cheapest mods I did (under £10). These are the strips I used - Quick delivery too: Flexible LED Strip SMD Red - 10cm Piece - 12v - UK | eBay I used 20cm strips for each footwell and it comes out fine. The colour...

    Illumination Question Regarding Door Mirror Switch

    Not too sure, haven't noticed before. Don't think it does as the knob just pulls off, think there just a plastic clilp under it.

    Post pics of your A3/S3

    Yeh BBS RS 2's, I'd agree about lighter colour but got these cheap, £300 and just has a refurb before I bought them. Gona keep them like this for now and when I get a refurb some time in the future, will get them back to orginal colour.

    Post pics of your A3/S3

    Been on here for a while, thought its time to get some photos up. Not heavily modified, most ideas have come from this site. Tried to keep the outside clean and simple, de-badged, lowered 35mm. interior, retrofitted mustard/yellow leather heated seated along with an armrest. LED interior...

    Aftermarket HU with Bose?

    I don't have a bose system in my a3 but I'd assume it would sound better. With the wiring adapters you would still keep the standard sub/amp running and the speakers (rear) running through the amp so there won't be any loss of sound/power. Most decent head units give you more options to adjust...

    rear brake bulb light?

    Possibly 3rd brake light?? Shouldn't really go off if a few bulbs are gone. Maybe connection problem? Have your tried cleaning the bulb holder where the bulbs touch the housing. Had a similar problem on my old escort.

    Revo, Worth it?

    Think normally you'd be looking at increase of 35-45 bhp. It's worth it, I changes your car totally. Not sure how much Revo charge but when I got mine done £200 was the average figure.

    Spot the difference

    Maybe a typo?? The more expensive ones may be for a set of 4 rather than a pair.

    Major pi**ed

    Think for all the **** your going through its worth a whiplash claim. Just need a trip down to the doctors for a note saying this. Plenty of no win no fee companies around. Considering you were hit from behind, it's gonna go your way. Think standard payout for whiplash is 2K, nice bit of change...

    Major pi**ed

    I'm sure you can prove your cars worth more than £2095 by showing other cars with similar specs (age, mileage etc). I've had friends do this before to get more money out of the insurance company. Just go onto auto trader and print off other cars and send them to the insurance company. I know...

    Center console

    The center console from a facelift is slightly different shape at the bottom. I was looking to swap the lower console which sits between the seats from a facelift into a pre-facelift. Wasn't going to work as the pre-facelift dash console goes slightley lower down I think. I would have thought...

    brake caliper colours

    I'm going for red or black, suppose it depends on what other colours you have on your car. Mines totally de-badged, only other colour is the red on the rear tail lights. Was also thinking about trying these in black : AUDI Brake Caliper Calliper Caliber Decals Stickers | eBay Anyone tried...

    S3 bumper / aftermarket exhaust on A3 to look like S3 (please help)

    I'm pretty sure there's a thread in the stickies about a3-s3 bumper conversion. Think there was another 1 chap with a silver a3 on here done a write up on it too, remember seeing it as I thought about doing it at one point. Front bumper should go on, might be a slight gap between bumper and...

    Tyres

    Ordered my Falken F452's 225 40 18's for £300 the other day. I've seen mainly good reviews for these and as mentioned good value for money for those who don't want to spend too much. I'm sure these will be a big difference compared to the budget tyres I've had on current rims. If anyones...
