PH etiquette dictates that pictures should be posted up forthwith for everyone to drool over...

Hallelujah brother!

any chance I could have those artwork amends now?

And, in true P.Heads fashion, not having had the car delivered yet, he has already had me on the phone to the ex-owner of the loudest S3 known to man, Mr Psychobert himself, as to just how he got his so bleedin loud!

If you get it as loud as Psychoberts, you'll be doing well!

Nice looking car Houghman. Like the exterior paint / interior colour combo.

Only "performance" upgrade to mine I've made so far is to get a new set of dampers and springs fitted and set up properly, which changed the car by more than I could have hoped. Having had it done I'm now sure that spending the same money on increased power and decibels wouldn't help me cover the miles any quicker.

Enjoy!

I can't remember at the mo...... but I got Gaz kit and had it fitted at Guglielmi's - if you want to give them a call they'll help with fig's. Do a search on the forums and you'll see that suspension is a heavily discussed topic already!
