As subject she's been gone for the best part of a month and I've had to put up with Public transport for the first time in 5 years (I won't be using it again either!), but I think the wait has been worth it. As the car is almost exactly how I wanted it. (Well it should be as I gave them a photoshop image showing them how I wanted it exactly!)
It's all about being subtle and smooth, and a lot of people wouldn't notice the changes unless you parked it against a standard A3, but that is the idea. Also it's not trying to be an S3 otherwise I would have brought one to start with!
Anyway here is a picture of the finished article. Have a look and see what you think.

That is also why the tax disc is on the other side.

So you got it back after three weeks then, lol. Seen it in the flesh as it went through the process, tbh i dnt think the handles fit too well and look 'flimsy' and i cant understand why the numberplate recess at the front is still flat and not smooth with the rest of the bumper.
Other than that is truly stunning and theres a lot of 'hidden' work gone into it.
where ur side rep's?

Do I know you are not? How come you saw it being built? I was there quite a lot did you see me? (U2U me if you don't want to say on here)
I know what you are saying about the plate recess and I was hoping for that to be smoothed, but the wrong idea must have been taken from the 'photoshop' I gave. Oh well I suppose that could be done at a latter stage.
Also I am very happy with the handles I think it finishes the car off, and are a big improvement from the standard ones.
The side repeaters are there, but can't be seen LOL
Yes a lot of hidden work has gone into it

I've got loads of work in progress pics, but I am keeping them to myself.
This is how the car was a year ago when I brought it.
I will list the mods latter, but I would like to see if people can spot them first

I am not going to say how much it cost in the end, but lets just say it was considerably less then every where else and the work is Top Class.
The interior is still missing that may be the next thng to be sorted though.
I wasn't going to mod it, but it got driven down the side and I thought why repair it back to standard? So I compiled ideas of what I wanted done and after many photoshops came up with the final idea that I wanted doing, and the rest is history.
