    help... im loosing interest.

    Had mine booked in for a remap before I even picked it up. Went to Chipped UK in Bromsgrove. Cost me the best £275.00 I have ever spent. I had actually had it booked in at AMD, but cancelled as they appeared to be only interested in the cash and not the car. Went back to Chipped UK again...

    Bye Guys.....Sold it!!

    Just thought I would thank you all for the help and info I have had from this site over the past 12 months. Took a deposit on the S3 last night, the car goes on Sunday. Going to really miss it, don't think I have been this gutted since I sold my Mk3 Golf 16v Anniversary. :blownose: If you...

    Insurance renewal time-AGAIN!

    Just sold mine but the renewal price was £288.00 fully comp with Swiftcover!! I am 33 with full no claims, and get a discount through work. Oh, and the car is garaged. I also have 3 points.:yes: Nearly a grand? Don't think I have paid that since I was 22 and had a Mk2 Golf GTI :faint:

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Oh well, such is life. Took a deposit on the sale of the S3 this evening. Looks like it's going to a good home. I knew the first one to see would buy. Got £8975.00 which for the great condition is about spot on in my book. Cheers for all your help on this forum. Going to miss the S3 like...

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Remap was done by Chipped UK, literally days after I bought it (just don't tell the wife)!! 265bhp which having driven a lot of performance cars with work does seem about right. Went back to Chipped UK last week to give my A6 TDI the same treatment (again don't tell the wife). What she doesn't...

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Cheers mate will do! Have to say that I was a bit disturbed with talk of £400.00 a year road tax. Got to have been a good move having remapped a 210bhp AMK engine. :happy:

    Is the 225bhp 8L S3 in the top road tax band??

    Glad I mapped my 210, and didn't hunt too hard for a 225!!

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Cheers for the comments guys. Just to clarify, yes it definately is black metallic. Everyone has different tastes but I love the interior, it really brightens things up. I paid £10,700 just over 12 months ago. Looks like I have to face the fact that I have lost a fair bit over this time. Got...

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    PMSL!!! I never tried the driving through MacDonalds naked thing..... Had some clown on the phone tonight wanting to give me £8k in cash and a couple of monthly installments.......... For the love of all that is holy......What is wrong with some people. Still think it looks better than full...

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    :salute:Guys (and ladies), Just wanted to know your thoughts on the sale of my beloved S3. Going to really miss her but have been pressured into getting something more practical. Which to be fair is a really nice car for an oil burner (remapped now to 175bhp) obviously...

    S3 for sale.....Bought an A6 TDi

    The sad time has finally come...... My S3 is up for sale. Due to shortly becoming a father I have decided to buy a new family wagon in the form of a 3yr old A6 2.0Tdi 140bhp. I can't really compare the two as they are totally different. I don't think it will be long untill I get a remap as I...

    S3 For Sale, impending fatherhood.....

    :salute: Cheers guys for the good wishes. Still getting my head around coping without the power. To be honest if I really wanted I could cycle the 5 miles to work and run just the one car, but where's the fun in that? I suppose I know I'm getting old and responsible when I start admiring...

    S3 For Sale, impending fatherhood.....

    Hi Guys, Well it's been an interesting few weeks. After 9 years of being married and not wanting kids we are now expecting our first......and our lives to be tipped upside down. Sadly I really don't think my S3 and the wifes MX5 are going to be very practical family buses. Thinking of...

    Murcielago Gearnob?

    Hi Guys, and ladies, I have come by a genuine Lamborghini Murcielago gearnob (don't ask!). It's a lovely thing, a real piece of art. Was just wondering if it would fit, or anyone has fitted one to an Audi S3 before. Also how does the original nob come off, excuse the pun but am I just not...

    Car hit just in time for edition!!!

    Gutted for you mate, had the same experience with a neighbour once who reversed into my MkII GTi. He at first accepted liability, but then retracted. Ended up being a 50/50 claim as I could not prove I was stationary. CCTV could well be your saviour. Make sure the store/garage have put it to...
