Isn't the S3 basically the same car?

Things like suspension settings (some have mag-ride) and other details may be different but underneath the skin they are fundamentally the same.

I was looking at S3's myself as a more sensible alternative to my M140i.

Never driven an S3 but from what understand it is basically the same car, but apparently the drive set up is not as keen as the R and so its a little less engaging, though you do imagine that its only for those who drive more spirited than most who would notice.

Have had Audi though, and interior is a little bit above the Golf in material, but I actually prefer the layout of the MK 7, not big fan of the pop up screen on Audi, but thats a subjective opinion only others may really like it.

I'm still on 1899 and haven't seen an OTA update of any kind for a long time.

Are your privacy settings still allowing OTA updates through BillSan?
My Clubby took the change between 1894(?) and 1941 with no issues with bongs afterwards.

How can I check if my privacy settings still allow OTA updates?   I haven't changed anything (but, as we all know with VW software, that doesn't mean that no changes have taken place!)

The one and only mod I’m doing to the Clubsport. In my opinion this is how the factory decals should have looked

Brilliant. I have located the sticker on Ebay - any tips on fitting it? Reason I ask is you might of figured out a good way to get it lined up etc.

Prep wise im thinking the usual wash process, decontaminate, quick clay bar on that specific patch then wondering if you did the wet fit process or not?

Sorry for the late reply

Masking tape, patience, measuring and a bit more patience.

In these conditions it's about the driver not the car. I've got 4 wheels bogged down in a loaded van before, you need go forward and reverse a few times to widen the U shape hole before you'll get out.

My gti lives in the mud these days and it's no bother other than clearance...I really should just get a Touareg...
