    Oh dear, is that the piston dust seal?
    Are you going to do something nice with the seats?

    it is indeed, i've ordered a rear brake refurb kit from the main stealers and quite surprised i didn't have to leave half my scrotum in return.

    i bought a genuine audi rear seat cover in the same trim as mine and got an upholstery place to replace the upper and lower bolster to keep it original. thanks for the comments.

    a few gratuitous shots of the girlfriends new car after she kept complaining about the clutch on mine.





    ignore the chinese laundry and poop house photo quality, i should stop being lazy and grab the decent camera;

    thanks alex, good work on building the a3 in the first place. pleased to see the swallow tail is still coming along nicely. btw i found a chrome interior door release handle when i cleaned out the boot the other day. i'm assuming its from the mk1, pm me your address and i'll put it in the post.

    decided on a quick temporary fix for the marks on the front bumper until i can find an s3 bumper and save for the paint;

    now you see it;



    now you don't;



    a really cheap aris fix and not to everyones taste but the marks were annoying me. i now have to get around to spraying my grille trim and audi badge matt black like the one on the rear;



    because i'm weird and i like things even i also stickered up the rear screen;



    a couple of quick shots from the reno sport happy laps at QR the other weekend;

    not had a chance to do much to the car but have ordered a replacement boost gauge and a/f gauge. i don't like the way the stepper motor oil pressure gauge bezel doesn't match the innovate and mech boost gauge bezel. ordered 2 more podi gauges like the link below;

    podi stepper motor a/f and boost gauge...
