Hi guys, for anyone that’s interested I’ve bought a crashed RS3 and will be documenting the repair process on YouTube! Give it a view if it’s interesting to you, first time doing anything like this. Thanks Dean

Just watched the 2nd vid, awesome diagnostic work buddy!  Look forward to seeing more vids.

 

Oh and I spy a black A3 in the background that I think may well be shedding some panels soon!!

Subbed!

Great vid.

 

My mrs managed to achieve similar damage to her rear door on the 8p which I swapped out. I also had to swap out the window & guide (it was tinted) and there was one bolt that was an absolute bastard to get to.

Just had a look at Pt 5 - nice job (the connector would have fitted btw as the one I did for the Mrs had a Bose speaker in it and it was fine).

 

Did you not need to swap out the rear external door handle - my S Line has the chrome top trim and the replacement didn't. Its quite easy to change - there is a slide clip which you can just get to with a screwdriver and it all pops out.

Yep part 5 is live guys :)

The old door handle has the alu trim on the missing so I need to find one of those and swap it over. I had to swap all the wiring over as well as the new door had all the wiring chopped off. I fitted the non bose speaker in the end. Decided there was no point having one bose and the rest not.
