For the mani and charge pipe I recomend halfords high temp paint it will give you the look your after it doesn't need any prep work just spray it on
The S3 side cover will need a lot of work to make it fit, I'm in the process of doing mine, it's going to be covered in carbon fibre so you should be able to see the bit where I'v got to extend it.
Here's a picture of the trial fit to give you an idea of how much work will be needed.
Looks good, i came down to norwich audi on friday to pick up an oil filter for my LCR but couldnt see yours there 
Ah did you, well my cars parked round the back in the staff car park, so that will be why, you can usually see it as your drive past the building on the main road.
No update really, Fitted a Silicone TIP, and cleaned it alot, thats about all.
However had a really annoying knocking noise, from NSF.
So far replaced Top mount bush and bearing, NS drop link and Both Rear wishbone bushes for poly ones.
Had Gearbox mount out, checked every bolt on the strut, calliper, carrier, checked dogbone bush, ARB bushes. steering rack bushes, track rods, dash bolts, had glovebox out, pollen filter housing etc etc! Its doing my head in, Shocks not leaking but wouldnt mind locating one to try.

Wow this car is awesome mate! Shame I havent seen this around norwich! Would love to see what the custom Jabba map is like...i've currently got jabba's generic stage 1 map.
Let me know what it is when you find it, I have the same on mine and have replaced virtually the same stuff as yourself
Hi Tim finally signed up! Are you sure its not your brain rattling about? I've had a horrible knock/clunck when setting off, braking and over bumps. Disconnected ARB now noise gone!
I have seen some Platinum grey ones around norwich?
Flash me down when you do see me! lol
Its a nightmare isnt it! Ill find it one day... Tightened door hinges and removed glovebox, secured everything behind it, and it went for a day... now come back!Let me know what it is when you find it, I have the same on mine and have replaced virtually the same stuff as yourself
Hello mate, hows the turbo now?
And yeah thats the kinda noise i have... However ARB bushes look fine, and replaced the drop link for the side thats knocking already?
Little update, Sprayed and De-baffled my charge pipe, Will do the Inlet Mani next weekend as need a new injector seal, so do it all in one go.
Just take both drop links off and see if it cures it.. I knew soon as I drove it off ramp that it was gone, gonna get a R32 ARB. Turbos fixed now £540 for rebuild it was battered!!
Well manifold came off this weekend, sprayed it yday and re-fitted today, changed injector seals as one was leaking so all fresh now!
What a chore though!
Final pic was taken in the garage so a bit dark, but its begging for a white s3 coolant cover!
However... extremely tempted to sell up now?
Not sure on the going rate though.
