Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

[Jassyo06]

I got a new camera (Nikon B500) and this is my first time using it. Unfortunately I had the resolution set too high which took it way above the 2mb upload limit so had to reduce the size.
I think the rear 3/4 view of this car is the most flattering.
My car is approaching 6 months old(doesn't time fly....) and I think it looks pretty good for never having been detailed in any way....just washed.
It was my intention to have it ceramic coated from new but my local detailer is not currently trading.

My first Audi
(Just to let you know how lucky you are to live in any other country, I'll let you know that I paid around 43.500£ for this car - due to ridiculous Car-taxes in Denmark)

Is it not all relative ie.... car prices to the average income in Denmark/Scandinavia???

Not exactly - gross salary may be high but income tax is also 50-60% and it expensive to live here as well.

Tax on cars in Denmark 150% (Recently lowered from 180%) + 25% VAT on the car AND tax.
To compare with tax on cars in Sweden is 0% + VAT 25%

I know - read somewhere it's pretty similar to denmark except the car tax.

But why all the drivers aids thought you Danes where good drivers lol

Haha - I would say I am, but we have many bad drivers.
Just to enjoy level 3 autonomous driving ;-) (Not my video)

Aye no bad jassy mate......I thought you would be in the same handbrake camp.
Speaking of stunning.....that's the word I would use to describe your car and the effort that has clearly went into making it look that way. Above is one example, as is the one taken in the petrol station.

voodoo mirror, looks great pal....should pic yourself up a proper camera ey

 

[Audi Bairn]

Thanks
Yeah I know, thought about moving to another country for a while because of that.
I totally agree with you about the wheels, but they are only for the winter, will get some 18" or 19" wheels in the spring.

Welcome mate!
Look forward to seeing more pics once you decide what wheels to swap to.

Haha on separate days, living in Gloucestershire you can’t help but get into racing, the Mrs knows more than me to be fair. It’s a great atmosphere

Never got a chance for some daytime pics after cleaning it on Friday, so here’s some night time ones instead.

Still got it mate and it still looks well ? When you chopping it in for the beemer ?

Cheers mate still got it, will be going back in 3 weeks if the new lease company ever gets their finger out and gets me some finance documents!! Been chasing them for the last few weeks, said on Friday there had been an error at their end and docs would be out this week, nothing so far.
Beemer due for delivery to dealer next week, with delivery to me two weeks later, fingers crossed. But there is a 14day cooling off period from signing docs until delivery will be made so if they are not here this week it’s going to delay things. Been getting quotes for the EV charger and got a guy coming out on Friday to have a look, but can’t even commit to get this done until I’ve seen the finance docs

As a fellow shire person - you have any recommendations for tyre shops round here? will need some shortly, so having a look at options now...

If you have a Costco nearby, that's where I always get mine. Always the cheapest price I've found. Or there's a website tyreleaders.co.uk which I've used to. You'll just have to pay fitting for the latter.

I replaced all 4 around June @ Bathwick Tyres on Kingsditch Industrial Estate, they looked after the wheels, no marks, had the tracking done at the same time:

I went for Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2’s, not the most focused but do a good job on the motorway.

......... but better than dirty Navarra which is mine currently

Really need to get both cars washed this weekend as it's supposed to be decent up our way.

 

[bokoboy]

Nope, there's a single sticky thread that has a link to various threads like this one

Thought I would post a better pic of my S3 whilst its clean (god I hate this weather! ) Light's a bit dim today but not due to get better all week and it will be filthy again tomorrow

 

[Pook]

Devastated, the mother of all stone chips noticed it today giving it the final full clean of the year. It stands out so much from a distance that I’m gonna have to get something done to it. Dunno what yet but I don’t want no respraying or anything like that. Looks like a bluming bricks hit it

 

[Abzz]

Hmm bummer
Have you got a good smart repair guy close?

Not that I know of, I’m on the hunt for one now though lol. Like I say I’m not doing with a panel respray but not sure what can be achieved without doing that. Based in Newcastle if anyone has any advice.

Yup, no about of ceramic coating was saving that one, what a waste of money haha.
