OFFICIAL A3 Only Picture Thread

[Evan1028]

I feel like the A3 is the red headed step child or perhaps no one with the A3 feel like sharing great photos of their tastefully modded and styled rides. Well friends, here is your haven! Not to discriminate against the S3 owners out there or the illustrious RS owners but this thread is being started and focused on the A3 and anyone who wants to show off what they have done appearance wise or performance wise. Any cool mods that are custom or unique feel free to post up in the thread. I myself just picked up a glacier white 2015 with chestnut/black interior. Love it! I will post up some pics once the weather breaks and I can clean the car up. I can't wait to see the A3 owners cars out there. Let's blow this thread up annnnnnnd GO!

I actually think I may pull my grille and paint it gloss black to match the Black Optics grilles. I actually love the subtle nuances of out model and the front bumper isn't overly aggressive but has almost a built in lip the way Audi designed it. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Keep those rides a comin'

What suspension are you running? That looks great.

B14 Bilsteins, carefully chosen wheel specs/spacers, and a sporty alignment

Great showing guys, let's keep it going so we can really have a place to call our own and discuss our A3 mods. I am on the fence about painting my stock grille gloss black or jus getting an RS style grille and have been shopping for roof racks this evening. What other future mods are on your drawing boards or what recent mods have you guys done to your A3?

I will be installing the S3 rear diffuser/valence in the next week or so got a steal for $150 on eBay actually. Also plan to wrap the chrome in gloss black vinyl on my front grille surround on the first warm-ish day in Western PA! Also want to grab me a painted lip spoiler, it is subtle but adds a lot to the rear end and I am all about dat money shot LOL

Are you S-Line?

I have a 3.5 downpipe, some top secret stoppy bois, catch can, flaps, custom exhaust work, and carbon fiber caps to put on. Lol I have a stupid amount of parts and money into this car.

No I just have a premium but as for performance mods I only really plan to throw ED springs on once I can afford to dump money on the car and get some decent wheels. Also wouldn't mind the plug n play ability of the Neuspeed Power Module and it looks like it gets solid reviews. Right now I will just do some minor tweaks until free up some cash and weather gets nice and I am outside detailing like once a week. LOL The only reason I grabbed the S3 diffuser was because it was a steal at $150 shipped on eBay. It is used but it is in great condition. Not looking forward to trying to get all the clips undone on the stock diffuser though

[Evan1028]

I am also so on the fence about wheels. I have always been a huge OEM wheel guy so I would probably like to get a nice set of peelers because well peelers. I also really like the 5 spoke 18's or 19's that came on the Prestige models. Rotors also look pretty sweet. My old favorite wheel were the old RS6 5 spokes but they do not make them with a CB 66 so I would have to get them bored and not feeling that idea lol. Oh well, I got time to hunt for the right wheel. Maybe if you guys keep posting some shots of your cars, I will get some inspiration

Post up the install, you’ll catch the eye of many A3 guys. . As for the CB you could always get hubcentric rings. They just center the wheel for the bolts, the pressing force of the lugs is what holds the weight not the hub lip.

I thought the only way those worked were if you were putting on an oversized CB wheel. At any rate probably not something I will do anyway but thanks. I will try to post up some snaps of the progress in my swap of that rear diffuser.

Woah woah woah, hold up?! FO REAL? I swore every Audi past 2009 was 66? You just shattered my entire Universe LOL Well at least now I will know when I get serious about the wheel shopping.

For A4+, yes, they are 66.

Fow A3 and TT, CB has always been 57.1, even in the past gen.

This right her is why I love the A3 in it's own right, modest drop and wheels and the car is perfect. You need nothing drifter. Car looks amazing!

Chrome delete was a gloss black wrap and Suntek PPF (paint protection film) done full hood and front bumper. No more rock chips! Haha

I plan to gloss black wrap my chrome surround as soon as it’s not freezing out. No garage = the suck!

Is your A3 on springs only? It looks like a nice drop but not too extreme. I really want ED springs, should improve handling over stock and settle the car down to just the right height.

Oh and what roof rack bars do you have? I found a real nice set on eBay for $100 bucks but they are not OEM or a brand name.

Yeah these are ED springs. Ride quality is great. I have a non s-line so it didn’t have sport suspension or anything and sat pretty high. Roof bars and ski rack are OEM

Great looking glacier! I love those 5 arm wheels too but can’t find a set anywhere seems they are slightly rare and no one has reps either. I picked up a friggen screw in my tire tonight so I may just say screw it and search for some wheels since my stock 17’s are dashed to hell and back lol

Just scooped a set of OEM S4 19X8.5 Peelers with tires only 4K miles on them and the wheels look like 9/10 almost perfect for the low price of $700!!!! Cannot wait to get these suckers mounted up. Also should be getting my S3 rear diffuser any day now. Pics will be coming soon
