I purchased my S3 late last year after not being able to decide what car I wanted for a while. I test drove many things and finally settled on this.
A couple of months ago I took it to a detailer local to me who worked his magic on it for me to remove swirl marks and some buffer trails which were there when I bought it. He did an awesome job!
I have some coilovers here waiting to be fitted and then I will begin to start getting a little more power out of it during the next few months.
I will keep this thread updated!

Cheers for the nice comments everyone.
Spec wise it's a 2007 model with auto lights/wipers, xenons, Bose sound system. Unfortunately it didn't have the optional bucket seats that I really wanted.
Power wise, I'm looking at full turbo back exhaust with sports cat, new air intake, high pressure fuel pump with an Audi rs4 regulator and a remap. This should see around 350 - 370bhp.
I am considering a different turbo and rs4 injectors which would see 400+Bhp but its starting to get big money at that point so we will have to see if the wife allows haha.

Just an update, non of the modifications got carried out on my S3 and the coilovers I had already bought got sold as did the car as my wife got pregnant and I got a panic on thinking my little girl would bankrupt me haha.
So, what I did next was incredibly stupid, I bought a new 116i M sport trying to be the responsible adult, 5 doors, great fuel consumption, actually cheaper a month than my S3 was due to it being on PCP with a very good discount, anyway here it is:
All was going well, baby was born etc etc then I realised I missed my power and infact the little one doesn't cost the millions of pounds I expected
So here we are now and after only 7 months of ownership im currently awaiting delivery of a new M135i as I love the 1 series just need the power to go with it.
So what started off as a money saving exercise getting rid of the S3 has actually cost me a hell of a lot more in the long run BUT I really don't care and cant wait for the new car to arrive
I will update with pictures when it arrives!
