Run the sump in the boot like I did with the GTR and just trail the stainless hose under the car. Zero issues for me in lots of very hard driving

yeah? im gonna be using push on oil hose not aeroquip stuff, you think that will be ok? i could get some over braid just to protect it

is it ok to have such long oil lines? i was gonna fit it in the front bumper but think it will be a bit of a squeeze..lol

looking good, can't wait to see the s3 in the metal again. Will have to take some nice photos of it.

No idea about the grade of hosing but I used braided lines just to be safe. No issues with long runs..........we tested it thoroughly with zero issues. Have a look through my (really) old GTR thread for details

Update - Machine polish

Car got a machine polish yesterday and the difference is incredible, the paintwork prior to the polish was pretty nasty to be honest, lots of hazey stratches and swirl marks(due to previous owner going through car washes

)

all these swirls and small scratches have now been removed and the paint looks like glass, obviously the larger scratches, stone chips and dings cannot be fully removed, but they certainly look less noticable

here are a few shots i took of the car in progess

including pics of the paint work which i had done on the rear number plate light

Before:

After:

During polish:
