Ha cheers Josh... Wheels next..
Considered cruise to make use of the apr anti theft software aswell.. Doesnt look that expensive either... 1 of the lads has just bought his kit and is going to retrofit it himself.. Or at least try, so following that 1 with interest...
Was considering TTRS brakes too.. Might just go Brembo disks and uprated fluid and lines, thats all next year tho...
cruise is good for keeping to speed limits, as you know these things aren't easy to keep under the limits haha
trouble is with big brakes is your limited to wheel choice, TTRS setup is a bit of a pain to get most wheels over
indeed something different , looks good ,
reminds me of my old mk3 golf vr6
Nice one Jack, loving that engine cover, makes the bay a lot neater.
Looks good Jack get a mold and make them
Nice idea on the cover, Looks ace Jack.
I wish I was as brave as you to hack things up and put them back together again. I usually mess up the first cut and end up having to buy the part all again.
Hello mate just read all about your car I think all u have done is very nice mate great reading
I look at this site mate but can't ever put stuff on there my self as I am looking for stuff for my car also I do bits to my car but can do a write up like yours how do u do it please help
Good outcome mate, just a shame it doesn't cover the fuel pump, would be spot on in my eyes if it did.
However, hats off to ya for trying something different with a decent outcome.
what an excellent work! It looks so clean and oem, definitely my taste!
A great read bud whilst I'm in the bath lol
Really good read this mate
Just read your thread from the start mate and makes for a fantastic read!
Great selection of DIY mods with the aim of being a bit different from the crowd each time.
Top work!
Looks good mate, nice to see something different other than the normal rotors that absolutely everyone seems to have at the min.
If it was me I'd like it sat lower to pull off the wheels even better, however.. I often get told that my s3 is way to low to be driven "properly" so that down to personal choice.
I got a feeling the right rear scrubbing will be due to the camber, as far as I can remember the right hand side of the car has different camber than the left so it runs less negative camber than the left side. If it's anything like mine whatever's rubbing will eventually run away and the rubbing stops.
Wheels look spot on, may pay powdertec a visit as my td 's are shadow silver so they might be able to fix them up. I think the grill would be better gloss black if it were me, but i am not a fan off chrome.
Well done mate the wheel colour is spot on. You do know how to make a car look good
Excellent write up mate, really enjoyed reading through all of this and the car is looking absolutely bang on now.
Also you mentioned in the first post that you built your own rs style grill and it looks brilliant mate. I don't suppose you did a how to? Or maybe took a couple of progress pics during the process? This is something I would love to have a bash at myself but only if I could get it as good looking as yours.
Hey Bailey.. I didnt do a build thread unfortunately on it, but I might have some progress pics on it.. I ended up building 3 of them in the end, 2 for other people ao quite clued up on them and would be happy to help answer any questions you have about them..
And yeah thanks man, glad you enjoyed reading, thats what its all about! its defo getting there, although still a work in progress, although its a bit more livable with now
Looks really nice! Though the first one did as well
Any difference driving both?
Was not sure on the front grill at first, but actually really like it!
Do you mind if I drop you a pm in regards to a couple of questions about the grill?
Those wheels look nice great colour. I think your grill has too much alu colour going on. How about making the honey comb part matte black to match the fog surrounds?
S3_jacko really excellent work you have done there! Can you tell me what you did to the rubber window seals please as I cant see anything mentioned?
Thanks
Stunning pictures
Great pair what grilles you got?
Hi sorry this is me just noticed this... I just used a trim restorer gel on mine..
Probably need to do them every 6 months but well worth it.. Totally refreshes the car imo...
Thankyou Kelza
Both are running the xenonz grilles mate... Mine had a lot of work put into it though to look like that..
The grille fitment is great but the colouring on the Alu grille, from them is pretty poor.. The Black is just Black and works well tho..
