One question, how different is your front bumper to an s3 front? Probably a stupid question but may as well ask

Cheers George :smiley:
In short, the S3 bumper is chunkier and sits what looks like a little lower, not sure if in metrics it is actually lower but I expect so. The S-Line/Black Edition bumper which I've got is marginally slimmer in appearance, whereas the S3 gives the impression the arches are wider to the observing eye.
I'm going to fit the S3 Black Edition grill (fully debadged of course) which look great on the TDI Black Edition 3 doors, not many people have done it either :happy2:

Managed to bag a bargain on an S3 grille, it's hopefully on it's way. Will do some bits to it then it'll be ready.
These arrived in the week, OEM chrome S-Line/Black Edition fog light surrounds with matte grille finish :happy2:
Booked in a rain sensor retrofit completion (last bit of the jigsaw) so I'll have full auto light install, minus adaptive wipers and minus the auto dimming mirror.
Means I'll have the auto lights adaptation and leaving home/coming home lights which is what the pursuit of the retrofit was all about. Costly, but worth it IMO. I'll do a leaving home vid when it's all hooked up.
On a rewarding note, the Pilot Sport PS2's are better than I remember. It's very hard to make them look foolish when really trying and they don't tyre squeal at cornering speeds where the Hankook V12 Evos' were sounding pretty much murdered. I'll find it pretty hard not to buy Pilot Sports again :party:

Winter tyres are back on.
Nowhere near as good as the PilotSports for now, but come the severe weather I won't say that so easily based on last years experience :happy2:
Small makeover for the rear.
MY09 lights:
Very subtle change, but MY11 rear lights (early 2011 onwards A3 and S3 cars).
Full adaptive Auto lights and leaving home/coming home lights enabled. Very happy with this one, given the research, time and investment in it :scared:

Nice audi mate!
Mark Webb:
