S3 Sprint Blue - Build Thread *RS3 Grill Added*

(1/10) > >>

jayha11:
After a whirlwind few days I picked up my S3 and sold my MK5 Golf GTI. As I had dipped into the wedding fund to purchase the S3 I think my fiance was relieved to see the Golf sell so quickly! Admittedly so was I!

So here's a quick photo of the Golf which I have moved on from, I am sure some of you may be familiar with it. Car sold to the first buyer who was blown away by its condition. I was a little sad to see it go so quickly in all honesty...



And here is the S3. Completely standard as I wanted









Spec:
2010 facelift
Xenons with DRL's
Manual
75k
Full Nappa Leather
Audi Sat Nav Plus (LED Version)
Bose Sound System
Full Audi Service History

I had already put together a comprehensive list of parts/upgrades I wanted to make and it will feel like christmas with the amount of packages that are currently working their way to me :)

Ordered so far:

* Pro Sport Coilovers
* Stance+ wheel spacers - 10mm front, 14mm rear + longer bolts
* LED numberplate lights
* Pressed reg plates
* Gunmetal caliper paint, new carriers and S3 decals
* Interior LED kit

Car is booked in for 06th Sep to have coilovers/spacers fitted. Once that's done it will be off to have a full paint correction and protection.

No plans to up the power for now I don't think, I want to enjoy the car and will then look at stage 1/2 options next year.

I will post up updates as they happen. Thanks for reading

I give you 6 months before the performance come into play lol

Looks lovely, hows the legroom compared to a Golf? I really would love an s3 or Golf R in a few years but I need to get 3 kids in the back  :sad1:

Looks like a nice car, love Sprint Blue!

Please don't spoil it with cheap Coil-overs though  :stupid:

Its an exclusive car the S3, Not cheap to buy, The stock Chassis are excellent out of the box and can be improved but I would be going for a Bilstein or KW Coil-over kit personally if Coil-overs are what you are after.

Personally if it was my car I would probably go for a Bilstein B12 Damper and Spring Kit  :happy2:

Hope it serves you well!

I have the same Pro Sport coilovers on my Eddy Jay and as you know they ride perfect although it's a different car to the S3 I'm sure ul be happy with the result dude
