The smoked chrome look would be nice - tempted with this colour myself as dont want black on black as it will be too dark

Very nice car bud!! Was going to mention the colour of the rims, there is a white one round my area with smoked (i think) rims, well they aren't fully black anyway and they look sweet.

Still haven't had a drive in one of these yet. Dont think they can take a 22 year old serious when he says he wants to buy a car of that standard. They certainly didnt when I bought my ED30 a few months back the first guy looked at me and fobbed me off, probably thinking I just wanted to drive a powerful car...anyway he waved good bye to his commission  :grin:
sorry but my vaux looks far better than the mk5 gti, thats why i bought it  :wink: faster too  :grin:  :tongue:

One of the lads on ASN has an S3 with forge intake, milltek TBE, and Revo stg1, thats making similar figures 341bhp and 344lbs/ft, which is fantastic for the minimal mods he's carried out :smiley:

Don't like it Gaz, pile of crap! It will breakdown and rust!!  :grin: :grin: :laugh:

Very nice bud  :smiley: Now your warming to the wheels, what about just getting them painted black??

(p.s. not jealous at all  :drool:)

If I do change the colour or the wheels I think it will to a graphite colour rather than black
i am really pleased with the colour i had mine done , would look great on your s3 imo , nice car mate
Mmmm they do like nice mate..
Can we have more pics of the whole car please?..  :wink:

Seeing a great photo of that white ed30, gaz, why on earth did you get a white S3 when that ed30 looks the business!. Im sure you have your reasons mate, if the ed30 had a 4 wheel drive system fitted, would you of still plumped for the an Audi??
