Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

Have been itching to upgrade the alloys for a while now and managed to get a set of 19" OEM Y spokes at a good price. Need new tyres but couldn't resist a test fit at the weekend to see how they would look.

Are they off the A5? they look smart
 
Hi chaps, well I've been drooling over 987 Cayman's for the last few years, but very glad I dropped my dosh on this S3 instead, I think I'll get much more use out of it and will be a lot easier to live with. My first sports car since selling my Nissan 180SX back in 2005, so a tad overdue (midlife crisis?).

Took a little while to find a nice blue, 5 door, auto, not too many miles, with FSH (oh and black interior, got close many times, to find out it had a white interior!).

Was sold as stock but I've noticed it's got a couple of small mods, silicone intake hose, K&N filter and a GFB DVX Blow off valve. Not too sure what sort of effect the GFB is having (apart from the psssshhtt!), anyone else know much about them and whether they're a decent item?

Enjoying it as is for a bit, at least until the 6 months warranty runs out.
Plans are for some subtle mods, new tyres soon, dechroming, maybe some Maxton body enhancements, stage 1, we shall see!

Congratulations on your purchase! S3 is indeed a great car. I bought mine a couple months ago and I absolutely love it.
Despite being sold as stock by Audi dealership it turned out to be remapped so I would check that especially if it has silicone hose and BOV...

Thanks, they are little beasts! There's no real way to check for a remap is there except for taking to a tuning place?

Not the way I am aware of. I took it to the place that does remaps and they told me that my car has been mapped...

Gave the S3 some attention a couple of days ago , back out today for a quick touch up to get rid of fine dust and extra shine applied g thanks to Megs Ultimate QD

I registered here a while ago, but didn't post anything yet.
About a year ago I bought a 2014 Audi A3 8v 1.4 CoD. The color is Shiraz Red, as far as I know.
