Hi,

Here's my dolphin gray A3! She's spotless paint work is awsome.
1.6 sport with all the bits and bobs.. low point was a massive bolster tear in the alacantra but i stiched it up which youll see.
got her with 53k on the clock. Been for ever fixing all the bad niggles.. but what a car in comparison to my old bug.. for fuel.

heres the pics:

Plans for the car

Coilovers. (should get them for xmas)
Leon splitter. (Already have sitting)
S3 Rear bumper.
Wind deflectors
Possibly new wheels.

Been working on the car since i got it.. i think about 6 months ago and gave it a major over haul and service.

The last 3 months the car has had renewd:

2 x Front tires
2 x Trailing arms
1 x Exhaust gasket
1 x broken manifold bolt bored out and re tapped
4 x spark plugs
1 x alternator belt
1 x full liquids service
1 x fuel filter
1 x oil filter
1 x panel filter
1 x Lateral crash acceleration sensor

I cant recall if theres more lol.

But i now need:

Passenger window regulator
Central locking pump
and a Yaw rate sensor

And car should be perfect.

so coilovers come first before all that lol, might buy it some nice new window wipers front and rear, ill have a look at disks and pads as a crimbo gift to it.

any ways lol hope you like!

Looks great, always been a fan of the dolphin gray colour. Super low mileage for its age, good find!

Always good to see another fellow Scot on here too.

Lovely condition. If i were you though id keep the 1.6 for awhile and not uprate the suspension or anything. Get a good price for it as it is clean and well looked after and then id buy a 1.8T. They are getting cheaper now,and a remap alone will get you 180bhp

Lovely. Dolphin grey was always on my list when I was looking. I'm really surprised Audi stopped doing it.

thanks people, If i were to get rid of the A3 id go for the S3 but no intentions to rush into ridding of it!

hope to get my self some coilovers for crimbo, then ill get them fitted get her looking nice.
