Something would have to be seriously wrong for the back end to come out on this!

Looks good Ant. Got facelift rear lights or pre-facelift? Just don't go sticking fablon on the roof mate.

And get yourself onto A-S.net!

Chris, students these days have more than one car! I have 1 and a bit, few friends have got 2, one mate has a road car, pick up truck and a race car

Paul, its got some aftermarket ones on, might get my self some S3 lights, so if you would leave your boot unlocked for 20mins it would be appreciated! Going to do the facelift front light conversion too

Didn't stop you going into the wall three times at worksop though did it

Has it got a crack in the bumper? Seems to be something sticking out of the passenger side on the rear one. Looks nice though, I would be leaving it like that.

Yeah back bumper is buggered, the seller gave me a new one which I dropped off at the body shop en-route home from picking it up, should be ready this weekend.

Plans for this are only subtle things. Changing the wheels as these are f00ked having had a long relationship with kurbs and don't fit very well. Changing the suspension to get some ride comfort back (tired shocks and uprated springs is not a good combo), change the lights front and rear. Then just few other little bits, tidying up the engine bay, few interior touches, bit more power. May go for about 325bhp in the future, but I need a few £1000 for that.

Ha ha ha. Looks nice Ant, but Im with grumpy on the sticking bits on it

What did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking? Emma is thinking of getting an A3 now, fed up with the fukus of death going the opposite way round bends.

Whats ur fuel economy like just out of interest?

Do you want to do a mallory track day any time soon? Im still owed one.

I paid 2125 for it, you can get the normal sports for much cheaper though, quattros = premium prices!

I've done 450miles this week and averaging around 30mpg, mainly doing 70-80 on motorways. People have been known to get 40mpg out of the 1.8T engine, most get around 30-35 though.
