Right then, apologies for the delay on this one. These changes happened a few weeks ago however I kept forgetting to take a picture of one of them. Better late than never though, some small changes were made recently to help tidy up the S3 a little bit and just bring it a little bit into the future.
So the first change, always a controversial one. A rear wiper delete. I know what some of you will be thinking, why do you need to get rid of the rear wiper? Personally, I think it just has a cleaner look to the rear end. What about when it gets dirty? Luckily I can always give the car a quick clean so it's never too much of a bother. Oh and not forgetting the rear wiper which was on the car when I bought it, wasn't even working anyway.
So after a bit of a fight with the stubborn boot trim pieces, the rear wiper was fitted and had the exact outcome that I wanted.
Next up, something to help bring the S3 up to date with the newer Audi vehicles we see, puddle light projectors. Now these are something I have always loved since I first saw them, so I knew I had to sort some for the S3. Initial research I was looking for a genuine set, however as you'd probably expect, they were expensive, like really expensive. So speaking to a friend who retrofitted a set to his Golf, he sent me a link to a store that sells them for much cheaper, but another issue, they were out of stock and had no plan to restock.
Eventually, I decided to bite the bullet and do something I would probably tell a friend is a bad idea. I ordered a set off AliExpress. I could hear your sigh as you read that. But as long as the 'S3' was in English and not Chinese we'd be good right? The wait for them to be delivered was worth it, they look amazing and just give the S3 a bit more of a premium feel, plus they looked just how I imagined, which s always a positive.
What's next then? Well MOT time is coming up and I want to make sure it will pass with flying colours. I'm gonna be doing a few pre-MOT checks and making sure there are no glaringly obvious problems that will cause a fail. I have also got the coil packs and spark plugs to sort soon to keep the momentum of the maintenance going forward.
Until then though, enjoy the ride.
