Took advantage of the other half wasting her evening watching Big Brother the other week and wrapped the gear surround. Unfortunately the finish had begun to spoil and after researching thought the vinyl was worth a punt first of all as it only cost £6 from ebay. Pretty chuffed with the results and blends very well with the ashtray.
More importantly I got my suspension and spacers fitted on Tuesday. still letting it settle but may raise the rear slightly next week. I went with 13mm spacers at the back and 7mm at the front.
Been busy decorating this week and its been frustratingly difficult to get time with the car. Managed to pick a few bits up from my local dealer on Wed, nothing exciting however. Replacement tow cover as mine was pretty beaten up and the spindle lock for the spare wheel as it was oddly missing when purchasing the car.
I have a rear wiper delete to fit if I get chance this weekend. Car is booked in for a 3 stage paint correction in 2 weeks time, hoping I can start on restoring the calipers/hubs in anthracite before then.
Thanks for reading

LOVE a sprint blue s3! What I was saving for until I had enough money for an ed30 and couldn't wait any longer to have a nice car again! Haha
Any plans for power? Sounds like your going OCD on it which is great to see!
