No Rotors not a fan of the V Spokes on the 4 look to light but will post some before and after pics when its done
was really after carbon fibre but wanted the complete mirror housing not a cover but the cost at the moment is silly so will go for the paint job for now and see how it looks

should look good with the rotors, Audi hardly pushed the boat out supply plastic mirror covers, instead of alu, they just don't look quality to me in silver

is it easy enough to replace the badge? or do you have to remove the bumper etc
same kinda question with the number plate holder is that easy enough to remove also?

I saw this one when looking for my S3. Crazy money. I paid 10k less for a pretty well specced S3 and consider that the limit really. This S3 is actually up for £42,990. So 43K.

Does look cool though.

Yes it ok, take top cover off so you can get your hands behind the plate/badge silly star fixings though

As nice as that S3 looks, I think only an RS deserves such a beautiful colour :bash:

Simples mate buy these. They were purchased as black powder coated spares for 'Riv' but never used. I couldn't resist carbon dipping even though I stand to loose on what it cost. Don't tell the wife!

Price = £2900 exc shipping and wheel centres.
