Haha :grin: pretty much my plan from now on, bar cheap stuff like refurbing the wheels! Unless I happen to have some wonga when bumpers or rear lights come up then I doubt much more will be done, especially not in a hurry! Want to save for a house now lol

Last weekend I lowered the back a bit more, serviced it again, and its clicked over 121k the other day. Still going strong!

Was meant to go into the bodyshop on Monday for the front end to be re-sprayed and the rear bumper but my mate was behind with a couple of other cars due to a customer changing his due date (and as I was getting slightly reduced rates I couldn't really pester him!) Plus, having just moved out its been useful having the car to cart stuff about :)

Haha yep! Been a while, but nothings been going on! Quite like it at the mo so its all good :) Decided not to facelift it as when it comes to sell, it could be looked at that it NEEDED a new front end rather than just me wanting it to look newer!

Thanks bud :)



Also my mate took the rear badge off which I've seen look good on a few S3's, but on mine it doesn't look right, and I dont think losing the rear wiper would help much either. So going to take the wiper off anyway but likely get a black rear badge so there is still a badge there, but still match the de-chromed front end :)

Ah sweet :cool: Yeah Votex splitters look pretty cool! Wouldn't want to pay for one myself though lol

No idea on the grills bud im afraid, my chrome was going a bit manky so I wrapped it black but thats all i've done, never looked into replacing them, sorry mate.
