I'll recommend to change your fog light to LED. Looks really cool when you set your fog lights turning on when you are opening your car(coming home/leaving home)

Brilliant, i love the look, this is actually one of my favourite car designs (and colour) and I'm also totally down with the clean look, simple does it for me! Only one thing that I was screaming about (personal taste of course) is when you preferred the silver logo over the black one xD I absolutely adore the blacks - still I don't own a car, I'm only dreaming :D cheers mate

Also your fog lights I put a 30 amp resistor on each fog light to stop the warning light screwed it to the crash bar to absorb the heat from it and then I bought some cheapish high powered LED bulbs I believe H8/h11 with fan are you also coded it to come on when you turn pretty good for corner and really lights up

Real nice video man! I've got an 2016 S3 and recently fitted an Oettinger spoiler on it. To be fair it is a bit more expensive, they go for about 200 in the UK, but it does give the car quite a nice edge and just sets it apart a bit from the others. My car is in the daytona grey colourway and I made my tail lights darker with some vinyl tint, I got 2metres of vinyl for next to nothing and would totally recommend this for any darker colour car and I think it would look especially nice on your black A3. 🤪🏎 Also, I made my footwell lighting red by just coloring the lights with a sharpie and I got some S3 puddle lights from amazon for about $16.
