[X5X]

I like it Are those OEM Bentley wheels? Must of been very $$$ for the previous owner.

[MTW]

yea they are, and yea must have been big bucks whoever bought them first!

mini update.

got some lamin-x, yellow and black, tried out the black....not sure on it myself



really like yellow fogs, but dont know if it would work with the wheels etc, hmmm

turns out as the car is an 03 with an 07 s-line front, there were no fog light units behind the covers! so the glass/plastic was bonded in place....so cutting the lamin-x to fit was a bit of a challenge, and if you got down on your knees and had a propper look its not a tidy job...but cant tell just looking at it. :ph34r:

also fitted black plastic front rings, as the old silver ones i got painted just chipped right away :angry:

they are a bit sharper looking than the OEM ones, but look ok i think.

next on the cards is an OEM optics grill, as the painted silver grill is starting to look tatty

also another pic of the car and me at early edition!

another little update, the eagle eye'd amongst you might have noticed that the A3 was sat like crap at DC11 and GTI inters, about an inch higher than it was before...due too new coilovers etc etc

im glad to say thanks to shakey its back down lowwer and wider than it was before, after a lot of hard work put in by him! its had arches flared and rolled all round, about an inch taken out of the front and the same at the rear,some camber has been added to the rear wheels to accommodate the et29 offset out back (added 12mm spacers) :wub:


i also had the headlining and pillars trimmed in alcantara which looks awesome, and have now got an s-line optic grill up front, with a us number plate plinth which finishes of the front end quite nicely.

heres the pics taken by carlatron... :wub:







19x9 et29 :wub:











still a work in progress, according to carl, there is about 5mm left in it which can come out with a bit more work :wub:

I didn't think it sat too bad at DC, maybe it was the hill doing you a favour. looks awesome still.

[MTW]

cheers bro, yea i think the hill helped slightly

[projektzwo]

i think this is bought, not build, but however...

like the wheels, don't like the colour in your case!

keep it up!

[Rírá]

I'm not 100% on the colour of the retrim, but it looks good quality and its different so I like it, plus the black on black is sick with those wheels. I like it

not interested in "scene points" mate, im fine with the 5 or 6 thousand pounds i saved buying the car how it was, cheers

Wow, that ride is sick! Love the interior and the Bentley wheel are much better in black as they were in orange haha!

[MTW]

thanks bro!

[MTW]

here we go, much better! dont feel like im at the wheel of a go cart now

[Poppy]

Cool. I like it

[Jorge]

I do quite like the whole VAG scene for being able to rip parts off the higher end models like the R8/Lamborghini and get them to fit easier. Can't think an M6 wheel would slot into my car as easy.

[Alex@BagRiders]

Like everyone else said, nice choice with the wheels, I didn't like the orange at all. I really want your R8 wheel though
