That certainly is going to be a rare colour.

Viper Green is not that fluorescent.
That's horrible.
Is there a option to change the type/colour of break caliper. Saw pictures of a factory orders S3 that came with red calipers...not sure if it was from a different country...
Customers in Europe and I believe Australasia can sadly not available to UK customers.
I took delivery of my misano red sportback today. Just wanted to say that this thread has been incredibly helpful in passing the 5 months since my order.
Pics to follow.
Note absence of S/steel footrest. Any more news on this? Any news from dealers?
Right hand drive don't and probably never will have aluminium footrests because of the shape of the foot rest.
They are the standard s3 wheels are they not?
Quick note on the handling of the S3..
Gave it a proper thrashing in the last few days, and can only compare to the 8P S3 which were my last 2 cars, so any RWD or GT3 comments need not apply..
The car is simply a HUGE step up from the 8P chassis, the steering feel is excellent in comparison and the understeer is actually minimal, in fact the car actually has a tendency for the back end to kick out first then correct itself very quickly, very smile enducing!!
The grip is awesome even on my 19" extractor fans..
All in all i would say that the car has probably been given an unfair and bad reputation in the last few weeks with regards to what it can do, because if you can gain perspective as to what the car is (read: not an RS) - this car is immense!
First impressions are: Wow.

Here is a quick pic of her just after I parked on my driveway.
I must say that Aberdeen Audi were fantastic. They let me have the handover booth to myself to wax the car! they are also going to swap my plates for me when the private plate transfer goes through. Brilliant service

Looks nice in the silver with black optics!..picked mine up yesterday needs a quick rinse of and I'll post pics! Can't believe Audi phone box doesn't work with iPhones! Love every other bit of it though so far.
I know, not too happy about that as I specifically asked them to leave it on. Really not sure now and will be looking carefully as to how they are storing it today when I go over.
haha probably. i'll see how many miles it has on but to be honest they've usually got so many S3s knocking around up there I'm not worried.
I suspect if I wanted them to they could PDI and prep ready for me to collect next Saturday... temptation!

Yes Craig that's all in my mind. I'm not overly worried about someone having given it some stick (as I'll be doing the same) but the potential outside storage is a worry. Will be talking to my sales chap today in detail.
