Shame the sun wasn't out.. It's a whole new colour when the sun hits it. Will take some next time it's sunny.. So possibly June 2017 haha

Black and 3 door - great combo


3 door S3 in black, great combo...would like to see a few more pics if you get chance.
Thanks mate, really pleased with it. I'll get some photos uploaded at the weekend once I've washed it :smirk:
 
Thanks folks, totally love the car. I'm looking for some advice on keeping the Panther swirl-free though, any quick tips? :blackrs4:

Heard lots of advice about getting a ceramic coating applied by a pro detailer, but no personal experience.

Ditch the sponge and get a mitt. Wash using the 2 bucket method. I use a snow foam lance to get rid of as much dirt as possible without touching the paintwork.

And get a machine polisher. It WILL get marks eventually. Good luck.

Bit foggy this morning, thought the light projections that you don't usually see from Audi beam looked quite cool when I opened my door :-

What exactly are these lights made with? LED? Or are they laser projections? Just curious as someone asked me about mine the other day and I didn't know the answer haha

My guess is they are led's that sit behind a glass/plastic prism that's in the shape of the Audi symbol??
Similar to these.....

Prob LEDs but I'd have said lasers because it sounds cool !!

Finally, a proper car wash...

Recently owned this Audi S3 for about 2 months and I haven't really seen the paint in direct sunlight (since its always been in a covered parking), it gives a totally different color reflection...

That's a stunning looking car mate, congrats!
Never seen Mica in the flesh. The sunshine where you are really shows it off, something we may not benefit too much from here in the UK :pensive:
