Couple weeks into ownership, my first ever Audi and certainly won't be my last. 2006/7 A3 S-Line 2.0TDI.

Needs a jolly good detail inside and out, but I'm happy and it's already impressed me a lot with its pace, comfort and feel.

Back out after it's winter modifications/tidy up. Still a long way to go but getting there. Currently stage 2+.

My new to me 2012 S3 Black Edition, Manual... Installed some H&R spacers 10mm front 12mm rear to see how it looked. Then, after an epic fail trying to do it myself, siezed bolts and split spline ends on droplinks galore, had a garage fit some Eibach Pro Front Springs (and much needed new droplinks) today. Sits sooo much better now, really just evens out the ride height nicely.

Wingbacks (which were a major selling point), and a Stage 1 Remap & Ramair filter (not done by me)... Been detailing the **** out of it and hopefully it shows somewhat haha

side view please
I don't think the car photographs that well from the side, I do find you need certain distance/ perspective/ position to capture it. For example, pretty much side on...

Compared to several weeks later, not entirely flat ground, considerably dirtier even after a 2nd wash haha...

well that settles it.. gloss black on the wheels for me

Yeah I wasn't sure about the wheels at first, was going to have them refurbed back to normal black edition anthracite, but they really suit the car I think. They look great every time I clean the car and they go all glossy again haha (they look very flat right now as the car is a bit grubby).

Boss looking car. Gorgeous. I wish the 8P S3 had been available in the USA. We have the S3 and RS3 now, but 4-door saloon. No sport back. Yours looks like a blast to drive, a smile on your face every time you punch it.

Of course where I'm located, USA (NY area), there's not much to be done with all that power, really. I mean, people do speed here and there, plus some lunatic drivers come about, but all in all I've mellowed out these days. I may be left in the dust on a drag strip, but my 2.0T with S-line suspension handles like a dream with very punchy torque. She's a few thousand short of 100k miles now, so I have to be a little gentle so she won't give me any trouble in these last years of ownership. It has been a good run. Had mine since new.

Back in an Audi after a few year break. Refitted some of the old bits from my previous car. Rear bumper does not fit, bit of a heck job, but will do for now.
