A3 with S3 kit | « » 8:02 PM 1/29/2009 | |
|
I've gotten a few requests for pictures of my VERY dirty A3 (hey, she's a DD) with the full S3 kit. I also installed a bunch of interior parts from OEMPL.us, chrome mirror covers and the LED tails. Right now I have 17" wheels with all season tires on her but in the spring I'll swap those out for the 18" RS4 replicas I've got in the garage. I also plan to remove the A3/3.2 badges and put on a single "/S" badge to match the one I have in front. 
I have the euro "SKIFRIK" plates for the front but I've heard that I'd be more likely to get pulled over if I were to put it on. So, I've elected to just leave it off for now
 I think the S3 skirts are the best looking ones out there but I'm biased. 
 
Notice that my exhaust tips seems to be a bit off. I've tried moving them as far over as I can but they won't move any further. I'm considering going with the Milltek 3.2 or with the full S3 exhaust system (depending on if it'll fit) instead.

Did you have to replace the whole rear bumper? or did the rear valence fit to the stock bumper? Looks good even though it's dirty.

Yes, I had to replace the entire rear bumper to get the rear valence. I never bothered seeing if it'd fit on the stock bumper. Here's a picture of the car with the RS4 wheels before I had the side skirts and rear bumper installed.
 And no, I don't plan to "drop" the car because she is my DD after all. My Turbo is the one that's dropped.

I am not trying to sound like a dik but why would you do all this if you don't plan on lowering it? Even a stock S3 would be lower than this if that is the look you are going for.
Looking for a new ride for 2010!!

Thanks for the compliments everyone, did you want me to post pictures of the Turbo? I've got a bunch...but isn't this thread about my A3.  As for Mr BlownM3, well, if you look at my plates, it says "SKIFRIK." Lowered cars don't do that well in the snow.

1) you left your name in some of those photosI know, that's my watermark. I should get around to putting my name on all of them. 2) what exhaust is on your turbo, those tips are not stock Long story, I have the cargraphic exhaust in my Turbo and I originally had the dual ceramic coated tips to go with it but have since then swapped those out to the TechArt tips. 3) what do you do for a living that you have all these cool cars/cool friends Just clean living, dude...not at liberty to talk about my career in the open forum. The Turbo, A3 and the M5 are mine (well, I sold the M5 years ago) 4) scuderia interior is pure sex Thanks...it's one of my favorite pictures. 5) welcome to the board and thanks for the car pron You're welcome...

A few of you guys asked me about the car. Let me see if I can answer those questions.1) How much did the S3 kit cost me? I don't even remember how much the parts alone cost but I got them from OEMPL.us and they have the prices listed. To get them painted and installed, I'd say it cost me about $2000 for all 4 parts. Right now I currently have NO performance mods other than the dogbone engine mount. I think that my next upgrade will be the exhaust system because the stock tips don't line up properly and it kind of looks ghetto-like right now. And the brakes because the stock ones don't hold up very well under hard driving. Hey, after driving the Turbo, you kind of drive faster than the norm.

I like the non-standard Scuderia stripes matching the Stradale stripe colors. The 993 TTS is my favorite. They are all classics though!
