Hi,

New to the forum. Just picked up my facelift S3 last week. I have a few mods planned but the car is standard at the minute...

Hope the pictures work....

Thanks,
Mark.

Welcome and great pics. I'm really starting to like the two rear strips of red lights at the back, much more purposeful looking. Enjoy and congrats.

Edit: and it's a manual as well, nice one. :D

Hi,

Thanks! Glad the pics work wasn't sure I was adding them correctly!!

Haha I'd like to say I opted for the manual because I'm a hardcore driver etc etc however the reality is I couldn't afford the Stronic :tearsofjoy:

Cheers
Mark

It was a bit overcast before, so 1 month on and 1,400miles in, following a quick wash - a few new picks on a sunny October day.

I guys,

Looking at some pics, i can see that someone chosses the steering wheel with paddle and someone not..
Does anyone know if the 2PF wheel has the paddle?

Thanks for the pics, put my mind at rest as I have a Navarra ready to pick up and it is my first non-white car in 8 years and have been up/down over the colour since siging all the paperwork.

Currently running a 2014 A3 150TDI that has 52,000 miles on it so I have done the sensible thing and gone for an S3.

Pickup at the weekend as I am waiting for my plate to sort itself out.

Where did you take the pics? Looks like the Heritage mining centre in Cornwall.

GFV on the PCP figures show otherwise @jassyo06 ;) The manual S3's will be soooooo rare they will demand a premium. :D

Anyways, wait till you try and trade-in your old Sepang Bouncy... :D

Navarre is a fantastic colour. I too went through the pain of wondering if I'd made the right decision but now it's here in the flesh it looks superb. Photos don't actually do it justice as it looks so different at each angle / light level.
Good spot on the venue! Found a quiet corner in the car park to take some 'arty' shots. Tried to find a nice backdrop on the north coast road but failed miserably ...... not surprising given the glorious weather.
Enjoy when yours arrives - you won't be disappointed!

After a pretty stressful day at work, that really cheered me up... Florist! :D

If it's just one the door handle it could be polished out quite easily, try some autoglym renovating polish apply lightly then apply again then try some super resin polish after that, then a little wax.... Or even better if you get your hands on a DA polisher...?

Thanks mate... I have just purchased some Paint renovator polish and super resin Wax. Hopefully it will do the job. Unfortunately I do not have access to a DA polisher :blush:

Sex on wheels! :rockwoot:My fear of ordering the wrong colour is fading after seeing this.

Can you take a couple of pics without the filter in the sunshine?

I'll get some done tomorrow for you. I don't think there was a filter on the pictures but I'll try off another camera for you. :yahoo:

Cosmos might turn out to be a rarity. A salesman at Audi city in Mayfair was telling me last week that he wasn't able to order it at the moment. It looked nice in the flesh though. They had a cosmos etron sportback in, it looked ****** huge in that little showroom.
