Doesn't exactly stand out does it - boring even - just my opinion. Each to their own. Never quite understood the attraction of black cars myself, especially when that colour makes a lot of cars look so ordinary.
Paul, did you get any pics of the interior yet?
The colour is growing on me I wasn't sure at first but maybe I was wrong. Do you have any interior pics, you went for standard seats as did I but finding any pics of them is impossible as most people went for SSS or the red ones!
Another gorgeous Estoril S3 and without wanting to spark another rail debate but i too ordered the EB SB with rails as it just puts the cherry on the cake accentuating the overall look of the deep blue lustful colour against all the silver accents of the car. Audi really got this one right. My previous 8P Racing blue mica had black rails which really went unnoticed so really looking forward to receiving the car with silver rails this time especially with a classy crystal colour like estoril blue. Panther black would have been my second choice but i wanted the car to have some colour.
Also, who are the 2 people in the picture inside the showroom? Why has the, presumably salesman, got his hands in the air? Looks like he's bull****ting, they usually throw their hands in the air when exaggerating some story! The other guy, said with the utmost repsect if he is a relation is definately not buying it though! Just look at his uninterested frown!
I could get some over w/e. I'm really happy with the seats.
Just wish I went interior light pack and mono pur. I do love the B&O lighting on the speakers, but needs more LED touches to the standard car IMO.
Is mono.pur expensive to retrofit I wonder? It's only the door arm rests and then the gearbox tunnel isn't it?

Yeah that was the effect I wanted to go for... Accentuating the s3 only features. The red badges stand out too because of the simplicity of the look. The light interior also helps to break up all the black! It's was a bold move because I hadn't seen ANY cars with this combo before, but looking at that picture it's paid off in my opinion. Of course it won't be to everybody's liking!
I agree, not a fan of darker cars, though ive had a graphite dark grey before but that panther looks good. colour seems to suit 3 door better. Whilst the S3 door mirrors are s3 cars id still be tempted to colour them panther black as well

The tints do look good! I forgot to put them on aswell but I'm actually quite surprised by how dark the standard tint is to the windows.
How do you think mileage has anything to do with a blow out?
Well my contact with Bury St Edmunds hasn't gone well this morning. Very rude on the phone, they are saying it's my fault (without examining the car) and I will have to pay
Waiting for a call back from someone higher up
Given my S3 is 2 and a half weeks old, does anyone know what the cooling off period is?

Surely they would have the wheel and tyre protection on their own demonstrator vehicle!? lol
The gist of the phone call went as follows
Me: Had a tyre blow up, not very happy with this whole experience so far, pretty sure something to do with tyre pressure, given the warning light came on just before it happened. Was this car fully checked before it was given to me
Dealer: never heard of tyres just blowing out, not our fault, you must have hit something, we have had this car since september with no issues, you'll have to pay
Still waiting a call from someone higher up
Tyre gate updated:
My S3 is fixed. Wonderful.
Dealer S3 is sat outside my house with a space saver on. They are saying as the car was in my possession I am liable for all damages
I have point blankly refused to pay. And made it clear if they wish to go down this route I will in fact be rejecting my own s3 as part of the cooling off period
I await a call from the "head of business"
What amount are they looking for in terms of payment from you?

A blow out can happen at any time and on any car. I've managed to get a blow out within the first 100 miles of getting 4 new tyres on my car before
Tyre Updated Again:
They have now agreed to return my car and collect their's with no charges to myself for damages to the tyre and wheel of loan s3
I'm now waiting for the swap over. I shall keep the forum updated, as I think their attitude on the swap over will make my mind up on whether to take this further with a complaint
Leeber: The tyre is in bits in the boot so not sure you can tell whats happened now. The tyre pressure warning light came on just before it went bang.
Good news, out of interest how did the car handle when the tyre went, how fast where you going?
