LOL - what?! Too funny Justin.

Looks good though. Nice solid German engineering. Good luck getting anything apart without busting it. They have weird little engineerences (yes that's my own creation) where you have pull the whoozit out, rotate it, which then unlocks the Y-axis to switch it up and then push it back in. Oh wait, that's just a shower tap in a German bathroom. This car should be a breeze to work on!

Just needs some diamond plate NOS matts and you'll be gettin all the ladies.

yeah germans seem to make things that dont like to come apart. somehow this works against nature as things you dont want to come apart come apart easy and are hard to put back on lol

Its not an S3 badge, its an S-Line badge.... S-Line is the sport package (the seats, bumpers, wheels, spoiler, and suspension (but then I changed the suspension from US to Euro because the US one sucks), and some other things....) which the car has.
