[@enzogiampieri1092]

Genius!! I know what I’m doing at the weekend. Always disliked the silver surround. Thanks for the vid!

[@ChampagneS3]

Happy to help!

[@Beardchanics]

Nice video, been wondering about getting the aluminium trim in black too. Subbed, always nice to see someone else doing mods to a lovely S3 :) For the inside rings they also sale some already red, pretty cheap too.

[@ChampagneS3]

Thanks! Appreciate the support! The rings I've seen for sale unfortunately seem to work only on certain vent styles especially for the PFL.

[@Beardchanics]

@@ChampagneS3 Yep, ordered some and they did not fit lol :D

[@hassankarouan2573]

I have an A3 sportback 2006 but the ring won’t come off is that possible or do i have to try harder?

[@LetsgoSino]

When i was removing the air vent the spring flew out of it… can i put it back in? The click sound that it mades doesnt work also now… can it be fixed if i put the spring back in?

[@ChampagneS3]

Yes it can. The same thing happened to me and it's very easy to adjust it to get that click. I believe I showed it in the video

[@LetsgoSino]

@@ChampagneS3 sorry with al that stress and excitement i didnt watch the full video thanks you are a legend

[@ChampagneS3]

@@LetsgoSino 😂😂 no problems at all. I'm glad the video helped you out 👍

[@maniirdzjr24]

Does middle ring come off as well?

[@ChampagneS3]

Yes you can take it off as well with a very thin flat head screwdriver 👍

[@NoName-hj4ok]

Nice job

[@waterschade3757]

Is there a way to get the paint completely of ?

[@ChampagneS3]

You could probably use a paint thinner to strip the paint off

[@DeLange12]

Aceton and cotton buds

[@danielsavage2128]

What colour did you use? any idea what the OEM RED is?

[@ChampagneS3]

I just used the red plastidip with some plastidip glossifier after. Pretty happy with turn out. You just need to go heavy with the red in the later coats.

[@J_A_N_N_I_K_]

Is it possible to remove the black ring without pulling the whole vent out ?

[@ChampagneS3]

You definitely can if you prefer to only paint that part

[@J_A_N_N_I_K_]

@@ChampagneS3 ok perfect. because on my A3 the outer ring is already black ^^

[@ChampagneS3]

@@J_A_N_N_I_K_ nice you're already set!

[@Amirish]

Nice video man!

[@carlosavila5392]

Dime los del.año.2012 Audi A3 8p no se puede desmontar

[@ronikazan5333]

I did it and only hear one click when it’s open what is wrong?

[@ChampagneS3]

Try to remove and resecure it. Maybe it's not aligned properly

[@yungboi2915]

Thank good video

[@johnmichaels4330]

Plastidip doesnt last long if its being touched and cleaned. Just paint the damn things

[@ChampagneS3]

It's lasted me till this video so not too bad. You can paint it however you like, vinyl wrap it even.

[@johnmichaels4330]

@ChampagneS3 really? Do you not have to touch them to adjust flow rate like on my TT? If you do, do you adjust the flow very often? I can't get that stuff stay more than a few months with my wife always touching them.

[@johnmichaels4330]

@ChampagneS3 like your videos btw. Keep it up.

[@ChampagneS3]

@@johnmichaels4330 I'll be honest. I don't touch them very often, so that may contribute to it lasting a along as it did lol. But I do like how plsstidip is "reversible" if I change my mind about the color choice later.

[@johnmichaels4330]

@ChampagneS3 yeah, that is a huge plus. That's why I use it on the emblems and such. Makes sense to use inside if you don't have to touch it a lot. I see how that works.

[@paulbaker-rz4hd]

You should have left it silver mate it looks much better than crappy black
