Looks good. From experience the Eibachs settle very quickly and should not drop any further.
Eibachs are a really great spring choice, they wont ruin the comfort / ride like other spring offerings and dont make the car look slammed etc. Would highly recommend either the Sportlines or Pro’s.
Further reading threads here and here and for difference between Pro and Sportline offerings on similar cars read here

Also added a clearmount, I was impressed with how quickly it was delivered from Canada. One of the rings got bent in shipping though. I had no issue bending it back and installing it anyways. Managed to pry the vents out with my hands. Really like the mount so far. Manages to keep my Sony Z5C snug while driving over the horribly maintained Belgian roads. (By the way, if you Google around you can find %10 discount codes)
Also, I'm looking for a made to fit sunscreen for my A3. Sadly I have to leave it parked in the sun for 8 straight hours with no shade in sight. I'd rather not burn my hands after a day of hard work. Apparently it's going to be >30°C sometime during the coming week. Anyone knows of a good brand for that?

I'm surprised so many people phone holders. I had one in my first 2 cars because there was no sat nav . My past 2 cars, the 8V have nav and bluetooth so I've never wanted my phone mounted.
I'm not sure really why people would need one? Unless you don't like the nav, or there is something with Android Auto / Apple Car play that I don't know about (not used them/don't have it)... or for conducting illegal activies

Honestly, just got it for convenience sake. Sometimes car nav systems just don't fair well, and that's where TomTom will come in handy. Also.. wireless charging. Really wanted wireless charging in my vehicle.
Have you tried Waze? It’s so much better than TomTom because it’s constantly updated by the users and it’s free and it’ll soon be on CarPlay
I haven't, but since I don't live in a highly populated area I couldn't imagine it being super useful. I'm actually not sure if I'll have CarPlay or not, is it available on PFL?Have you tried Waze?

I used to use Waze before the Audis, deffo is a good app..Have you tried Waze? It’s so much better than TomTom because it’s constantly updated by the users and it’s free and it’ll soon be on CarPlay
Me and a friend were leaving the Olympic Park area one afternoon heading somewhere else. He followed Waze, I followed Audi nav (SD card, no google traffic updates or whatever it is)... it took me like an hour and him 30 minutes or something. I wonder how much different it would be now with the live traffic updates etc.

Badges and mirrors. New caliper face plates. Not cleaned the car yet, so please don't crucify me for a dirty car.
And I sprayed the bells of the discs

Not today but planning on cleaning my A3s engine bay and before I do that I'll for expert opinions. I have not done it before and therefore slightly nervous. I am planning on using Autogkym engine degreaser + BH Surfex HD and then coat the engine with CarPro Pearl.
Are there any specific areas or shall we say what areas should I cover. Would using a hose (definitely not using pressure washer) be a safe option or should I wipe clean after agitating the engine with degreaser/APC?
Would appreciate help. Thanks.

Calipers done. What a nightmare of a job. Started brush painting but was taking more paint off than going on. Reverted to masking and spraying. New caps finish it off nicely.
Caliper plates looking fab buddy. Where did you get them from. I had my S4's recently done up but the '4' on n/s has just come off. Would like to do a permanent one rather than decals.

6hours later. Snow foam.wash. claybar. Washed again. Paint cleanser applied. Then nice layer of alien 51 topped over with layer of nebula showroom wax that stuff is pukka
wheels tyres cleaned. Just didnt have it in me for exhaust tips lol.
Finish looks great. Would have liked to have borrowed me mates dual action an give it a polish as there's few light swirls but didnt have spare 6 to 8hours for that lol.

I tried launch control for the first time today. The thing flew like s**t off a shovel, I wasn't quite expecting the initial acceleration! All good fun but not something I'd use too often unless showing friends or just fancying experiencing a bit of g-force.
Fitted my milltek cat back exhaust, went with black GT tips non valve non res. Sounds mint!
got 43mpg out of her today, my personal record. more impressive is that it wasnt motorway, but on the a65 along the south of the yorky dales.
Blimey! I did an 8 hour drive yesterday, mostly M25/M4. I managed 39.8 in the end. I thought that was really impressive!
this drive was an avg of 48ish mph on 60mph roads with traffic holding me back, so it wasnt really completely realistic, anytime i get about 35 im chuffed though.
keeping that mpg over that milage is impressive, bravo i say43.3 is my best
VC question: what does the red arrow in the 11 o'clock position on your speedo indicate? Speed limiter?43.3 is my best
Speed that cruise control was last set is my guess. Get a red dash on the normal analogue dials.
