My new A3 :) yey (lots of photos)

[Deano.no4]

Well i picked up the car last weekend, after a 1st class trip on the train free water and tea made up for the extra £5 that it cost. then a 6hour or so (cant remember what time i set off) drive back from Southampton to Newcastle

Its been sitting outside my house all dirty for a week and was tempted to put it through the car wash it was that dirty and annoying me but i didn't

so it had a bath today along with its predecessor which will be sold soon i hope. turned out quite nice but there is lots of scratches you can see now that you couldn't before

probably why he didn't clean it.

OLD vs NEW

Cheers for looking

Dean

Why haven't we seen that grey rep before?? looks bloody wicked!

And does that audi need a pair of front tyres?? The n/s/f looks slick! lol.

 

[Deano.no4]

haha the rep has been around for ages, but its been a while since i put anything up As long as the center 3/4 have enough tread im ok i think but yea i need new tyres and tracking done.

 

[Danith]

Indeed! that rep looks smart, nice colour.

Just out of interest though, why such a long drive to find a black A3 Tdi?! Looks smart tho and bet it shifts.

 

[Bluebeard]

I Can't stop looking at that clio!! Looks superb!

 

[Rob]

Your clio looks flipping amazing, why haven't I seen it before?

Rep I assume? Awesome.

 

[J4mes]

Very smart! Definitely a nice upgrade from the clio

 

[DB.]

Very nice, looks newer than an 05 plate as well!

 

[Deano.no4]

A3 Sline Quattro with 49,000 miles. there was maybe 1 or 2 s line quattros with under 80k miles within 100miles of newcastle within my budget so may aswell go for the one i want.

Fair play. Has to be the exact one I know what you mean. Not really clued up on Audi Quattros but would've thought they'd be pretty easy to get hold of - especially in black! Guess the Quattro's are a lot rarer then? My sister's fella's got a 60 plate S Line (non Quattro) and it's pretty nippy!

 

[Deano.no4]

yea quite a few more S lines out there but still not many with 50k miles. compared to my little 1.2 clio this is amazing

 

[Christopher]

Definitely not what I'd pick, but it looks tidy.

Love the replica though.

 

[Scrooge]

That rep is epic.

 

[Leah]

Nice Audi

Love the colour of the Clio though, suits the kit so well imo

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Lol ... The irony is stong here.

Audi is a nice upgrade.. But proper lols at all the attention the clios now getting !

 

[Gally]

Nice spec mate.

Rep looks immense in that colour.

 

[Knuckles]

When did you finish your rep mate? Is that going now or are you running two cars?

 

[Kane.]

Love that.

Audi looks good too

 

[Deano.no4]

all my rep was missing was the steering wheel, front arch liners and some washer blanks, has been finished for like a year or something

at first was thinking about a 197 but the insurance was to much and the amount of petrol i would go through would be crazy so i went for a diesel instead and just wanted an Audi.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Sweet Audi, you will like it, mine is great and the build quality is sublime. Only issue I find is that they are a little boring. Fantastic everyday cars though and I'm sure you will love it.

 

[Rob]

I bet this thread didn't quite go the way you wanted? Everyone telling you how wonderful the clio is. LOL

The Audi's very nice though, looks a lot newer than it is too.

Nice upgrade if not a little dull to drive.

 

[Ash']

Nice rep , oh the audi is nice also!

 

[Stefan.]

i like the audi, wheel refurb and some clean plates would tidy it up too as said the rep looks good and shouldnt have trouble selling it.

 

[Ian_182]

I like the audi and you'll enjoy the upgrade.

Seeing that colour clio makes me wish ren sport had given me that option when i had my 172 and 182.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

nice audi, as said wheel refurb, some fresh rubber and it'll look nice. machine polish on the cards?

that rep looks awsome as hell, i would swop my dCi for that, and thats saying something after all the effort i put into mine

 

[Robbles]

Get that remapped mate and it will be even better. I've just had my vrs remapped.

 

[Herr Flick]

Spend a whole weekend with a few bits of 2000 grit/water and machine polisher and it will look awesome. Hate seeing so much orange peel...

Would much rather have the Audi over the clio. How much did you pay for it?

 

[Deano.no4]

Haha anyone want to buy the rep? seeing as you all like it so much

The clio looks good from far away but when you get closer the paint is coming off the sport bumpers and the wheels are bubbled like mad.

i dont think the Audi is boring i can put my foot down and it goes pretty quickly. maybe if i had a 182 or something it wouldnt be as good but more then powerful enough for me. Once iv sold the Clio its getting a full colour correction and wheels refurbed, then any little bits that need painting will get done after.

 

[Deano.no4]

it was advertised for £8550 but i got it down a bit, which covered my train ticket and diesel back up. Paint atm is horrible, the guy didnt look after it much and there is places where the birds have crapped on the car and its eaten through the lacquer, but hopefully the colour correction will sort all that out.

I got some private plates for my birthday, so i just need to wait for the log book to come back before i can go get them made up think i might get some pressed plates not sure yet

 

[daydotz]

more love for the clio

 

[Chris.B]

More pics of the replica, please?

 

[Deano.no4]

There you go

Still need to give the inside a clean out so here are some old ones

 

[chriscummins7]

Rep looks brilliant!

I loved mine in that colour and would have loved the 1*2 kit on it. Sell the Audi and use the funds for a F4Rt conversion and you will get 1 million CS win points.

 

[James28]

The rep is an awesome colour!

 

[Deano.no4]

Had the Clio on Autotrader for 2days and its going tomorrow, think i priced it to low. wasted £20 on the 6weeks advertising grrr.

 

[Pint]

Nice motor. I too changed to an A3 S line Quattro last year. Lovely for cruising on the motorways. Do miss the fun of the clio though.

 

[DaveDreads]

My 172 doesn't look as good as your rep, I wish mine was that colour.

Hope you enjoy the Audi, everyone should own a nice VAG at least once,
I still miss mine a bit, proper comfy on a long motorway journey.

 

[Deano.no4]

haha i think its just the colour hides a lot of the marks unlike the black A3 but i did look after it I loved the Audi on the motorway unlike the Clio which was horrible and noisy.
