Audi S3 2007 Progress.. 430bhp+ Build
Hello again Sax-p!
Back again, hopefully this time I won't encounter another problem with a car eh.
Upon advice, and mostly jealousy of Ross taking me out in his Audi RS4, I had to take a look at the S3! After test driving a few cars, a Golf R32 didn't quite cut the mustard up against this. It took a few attempts to get a S3 with the seats that I wanted, but my god, it was well worth the wait!
Here's some pictures of todays progress, its first partial clean and polish. I had my bitch do this for me, thanks ross 
As you can see, the paintwork needed help when a light is beamed onto it.
The exhaust hadn't seen any cleaning products since it was put on the car too.
A bit of elbow grease later and it came up quite well, needs more but not bad for a 10 minute attempt.
Ross got to work on the polishing, only the front end was started today, needs a couple more days of TLC to be spot on.
Not a bad result of the first stage of polishing to be honest.
Engine bay came up well too!
That's enough for now anyway.
Plans;
Refurb alloy wheels, a Gunmetal grey colour.
Full detail on the bodywork.
Number plates need changing.
Canbus LED's on number plate lights, sidelights and DRL's, maybe the interior too.
Double din 7" Display screen headunit
I'm sure as I go around the car and pick fault, a lot more will be added to the plans. The old girl needs some TLC. We had a quick go at the seats before time was up, but I'm really pleased with this purchase!

That poor cunt doing all that work whilst you watch! Anyway - thanks for fixing my compressor bro 
On a serious note, car looks great on the front end now - we just need to finish the rest! Looking at the photos I can't believe how bad it was!
More to come next week bro - let's crack on 
Ps - add a miltek to your list you know you want to...

I'll reserve this space, and you can use it to save people reading when something goes wrong..
In all seriousness, it looks good bro, hope it's a decent one and serves you well! Wouldn't mind an S3 myself! Really nice cars!

Let me just ask Alisha if I can modify her car.
No. She has no more money.

Thanks bud, if it makes you feel any better it's going back tomorrow to sort problems, indicators are fault, you indicate left, it's okay, you indicate right, and it indicates left again.
Oh and the bonnet won't open anymore. Damn.

It's probably seized (and my fault) - forgot to regrease it after jet washing bay. I actually made a mental note to regrease but completely forgot. Dom - there's the issue
Cheers Yates - good shout.

The indicator thing seems odd, not something that can just happen to go wrong with a car. Has it been fucked with?

Not a clue, only had the car a couple of days, hoping it's just a relay or something minor, only noticed it after getting flashed quite a few times on the M1. I thought they were letting me out.

I genuinely hope it works out for dude, you seem to be kissed with death as far as cars go.
Feel free to disregard / ignore / tell me to fuck off, but I have another mate in a similar situation, you must be up to your tittays in debt for cars now surely?

Why would you ever sell that?!
OP nice car - I'd definately want a flat bottomed steering wheel on that list of mods. I want one of these soon but with the dsg/s-tronic box.
