Welcome to the forum Mak :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) even though I can't help you as iv had no experience with the virtual cockpit I'm sure other members have :) cheers steve

Saw this and thought I'd share. In certain parts of London there is now specific parking prices for diesel cars! It is a new scheme that is being trialled in a number of cities around the country. These charges are on top of the diesel congestion and entry charges into the capital. Heres an article and info with more info: http://www.buyacar.co.uk/cars/diesel-cars/460/diesel-tax-proposed-charges-and-surcharges-for-uk-drivers hope it's useful cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Lavelle :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I would say ultra. You get better spec and I believe different wheels :) but obviously you'll pay more. The S Line is a good spec and you'll have more choice of cars in S Line spec as they're more common :) hope iv helped cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Laura :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) sorry to hear of your issue. As Piotr as said, we need to know what mmi you have and what model it is. Just makes it easier for members to give you correct info :) Cheers steve

Thanks Dan:) it couldn't be helped and I do understand that injuries and work do come first than a car show. I'm just using it as experience to help plan Audis in the park :) as I say it was a great show and members would have loved it. It was genuinely on the best shows iv been too. Not too big but not too small and the quality of the modified cars was amazing!

Your most welcome Dan! Glad you and the family enjoyed the day! :) I did too :) it was disappointing that no one else showed up as they missed a great show! :) cheers steve

Hey Beck, welcome to the forum :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) what year of a3 are you after, and what engine/gearbox you after? Cheers steve

Looking great Paul! :) with regard to the wheels, have you considered refurbishing them in a gun metal grey colour? Cheers steve :)

Welcome to the forum Huw :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch and will help you where they can :) unfortunately I'm unsure on the part number myself. Sorry. Cheers steve

Brilliant guide there Joe! :) iv moved this topic to the auto detailing section to make it easier for members to find :) cheers steve

I agree with Dan :) i would deffo say the wheel will be smaller than your current wheel as Dan said probably a 15-16" wheel :)

This was a cracking show! Il write a full report over the next few days :)

Parked next to you. I'm near costa. And sat outside smiths :) im in a white club t shirt :)

If your struggling then you may need to look at a car that's slightly older or with more miles on it. Im assuming you've tried eBay and Audi approved used?

Welcome to the forum Barry :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) If you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask :) cheers steve

Hi chris, welcome to the forum :) your audi looks great! if your coming to Vag Tuner Live I can get you on the club display! We are meeting at donington services for 7:00 and have to be at donington park for 8am. Give us a shout if you want to have your car on the display. You'll get a free t-shirt and sticker for doing so! Cheers steve

Hey Dan i suspect a space saver should fit straight in. You could always put the jack and brace somewhere else? Even though the manufacturers allow space for a space saver they don't always think nowadays it will be used if that makes sense. Its pretty annoying to be honest, ususlly though the space saver is often the smallest size possible. Cheers steve

Deffo will be good! Mil see you at donington services. You can't miss me il be in the audiownersclub.com t-shirt! ;)

lol that's true! I can still fit genuine roof bars and a surfboard lol as well as a banner bra lol

Try the car supermarkets such as available car or motorpoint :)

Looking mint! :) wish id modded mine slightly now lol

Yea should easily be possible :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Lauren :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) if you want a decent spec then you'd be better off going for an S Line model. You'll get more features and I believe cruise control is standard on the S Line. Normally satnav is extra or Is found with a technology pack. You can tell if an a3 has sat nav when scrolling through the multi media system. If it hasn't got sat nav then it will be blanked out. Sensors are often extra too but you'll find if you find a a3 with genuine fitted sensors then they will come up on the screen. As in when your reversing a picture of a a3 will appear from a birds eye view and will show you how close your getting to any object. What engine are you after? If it's diesel I'd avoid the 1.6 as I found it under powered hope iv helped :) cheers steve

That's the one Dan! :) i meant to ask you, does your wife have an Audi? If so she could bring it along! :) heres mine, packed, and already for the show! :)

Less than 24 hours to go! All those attending the show, we will meet at donington services at 7:00 sharp. We have to be at donington park for 8 to set up. See you tomorrow :D
