    2016 Audi S3 build/mods

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Whats up guys! I recently picked up a mythos black Audi s3, and I'm pretty excited about it.
    I'm planning to do some mods slowly and have it become my dream Audi S3. Already have somethings in mind on
    what i am going to do, but wouldn't hurt to get some opinions or advice from some of you guys on here.

    Heres what the car looks like now:


    I also picked up the RS style grill from Emmanuele Design and received it about a week ago.


    Also going to post a list of the mods i'm going do order:

    -RS style Grill
    -KW Coilovers
    -Wheels(not exactly sure which ones yet, need some opinion)
    -Front lip from Fareast japan (http://hitotsuyamagmbh.shop-pro.jp/?pid=86775404)
    -Rear spoiler from Fareast japan (http://hitotsuyamagmbh.shop-pro.jp/?pid=94516914)
    -Miltek exhaust system
    -Brembo brake set
    -Euro headlights

    What do you guys think? Let me know!

    Nice. That's a bit of modifications for sure. The only mod that worries, given your location, is the front lip. Not sure how long that will survive in SF. I like the grill, but wish it did not have quarto on it.

    definitely, the roads and the hills here are not that friendly with lowered cars... now that you mention it, i might reconsider the lip...

    HRE Performance Wheels.

    the currency converter said its a little under 700$ USD. So its not too expensive, I think im going to have a friend that can read japanese look it over and see if i can order it directly. If not, I think i'll have to contact some folks over seas

    haha, I definitely love HREs, but they are just a little out of my price range /:

    Take a look at.. RS-51 by Renn Motorsport. Same design as HRE but fraction of cost. I ordered mine for $1000 shipped. 19x9.5 et42. Going to put PSS 255/30/19. They have different size wheels for same price. Check out sonic tuning

    You can get them off a uk site with no quattro badge. I got mine and i can't fault it. They have a website but it's down for maintenance at the moment. I just dealt with him over whatsapp and a paypal invoice request set up. got from the uk to Aus in less than 2 weeks. https://www.instagram.com/automotive_customs/?hl=en
