Facelift Jassy's Discussion/Build/Wait Voodoo Blue S3 Saloon Thread

[Snake Pliskin]

FINALLY ............... lol

But well worth the wait - to see an actual detailed photo

Looks incredible

The voodoo blue just looks staggeringly good - made even more so next to the washed out blue of the R8 !

Looking forwadr to more pics and collection write up/ thoughts on the drive / interior / updates etc.

But truly stunning car congrats pal

Love the colour mate! love how it looks tad darker that riviera, which was always a bit light/‘smurfy’ type of blue for me personally.

Voodoo might be a common colour soon.. Just like Merlin has become...

Hats of to you tho. Enjoy

 

[Pinky1959]

That is even nicer than I thought it would be , pity about that R8 thingy next to it ! ! Have a good safe run up the road , Are you stopping anywhere or going all the way home ?

 

[Rob2k68]

You back safe and sound mate ?

Good run to get used to it and cruise in seventh heaven - how are you finding the new box and the PS4 ?

 

[Audi Bairn]

Poor. Handover to be honest mate nearly as bad as this new Sat nav it's GASH l am some service station near Birmingham car drives awesomely far better than my other car will need a few sherbet tonight lol

Enjoy

Told you dealer treats anyone buying through an online broker as second rate, same happened to me, and the guy told me to my face, lost any future business from me for sure .... Whetstone Audi

 

[Daveotto]

Intrigued to find out the differences you have noted in saloon with mag-ride , 19" wheels vs the hatchback in handling, suspension ride in different modes and also cabin noise. The colour has achieved your wow factor.

Will wait for the wee Scotsman's words of wisdom but when I made the exact same switch instantly found the mag ride made the car less bouncy and crashy and overall the car feels feels more balanced, handling more responsive although steering feel is still a little lacking across the range of drive select settings

[CROCOP]

Wowweee, that looks absolutely incredible. I honestly prefer it to the R8

 

[PanamaS3]

as has been said before....wowzer!
looks absolutely stunning mate!
beautiful colour....really
love the black pack, black mirrors, black calipers....wheels look amazing on it....looks absolutely gargeous!

Left lan dan at 12 bells just got home the road works on the M6 is truly staggeringly deplorable, this car is fast fast must be the gearbox..... I actually liked this car instantly got a few gripes though but they can be posted later, l must say it was worst journey l have ever done between roadworks and torrential rain heavy fog am off for a chinky and 4 wee cans..... Doubt l will see past the first yin..... Thanks for all the lovely comments guys and girls.... Lol the VC. Is immense

Chinky

Glad to hear you got back safe James! The FL is truly a transformation, the car is quieter on the road IMO and the little changes go a long way. The left and right tabs instead of the 4 corner buttons are good, I like the interface a lot.

VC is certainly a stunner, has to be used to appreciate it but I still wouldn’t knock the normal dials.

I’ve got that picture of your car saved on my phone, it looks unreal! I liked riviera until I saw that photo, Voodoo is a whole world nicer than it... looks comparable to Nogaro in that photo to me, same gloss look.

 

[MattSedg]

Don’t say that, I’m waiting for mine to turn up white

the last hope is yours in the factory yet?

let me guess, the crane on M6 northbound just past junction 36?

glad to hear you like the car pal

@AudiNutta - Like you I liked a lot riviera blue, now its between voodoo & nogaro for me

Me thinks nogaro is a touch darker, but there's not a lot in it IMO

If only I had £2400 to spend on exclusive paint ...

 

[Jassyo06]

One Huge gripe Audi have ****** up the MMI interface its dreadful my old car worked and looked better, this car handles like the RS3s l have driven in the past extremely surefooted and stable at speed..... Also l have joined the 404 mile club wasn't intentional probably would have got 450 miles out of it if l hadn't put the foot down in the last 60 miles home, also noticed the cost cutting on the interior...... The little spacers between the buttons above the climate controls.... These where in piano black before now there dull plastic, column stalks.... Don't feel as good, l miss the red led buttons/icons white is too bright, footwell lighting blinded me turned it off, no dimming on the door mirrors???

The good..... Vc is amazing...... And best of all the best car l have owned or rented lol

Few pics now, this car has a amazing spec l don't even know what colour this is, l think it's from the same Porsche paint catalogue as riviera and voodoo/viper, Milk Tray purple l am going to name it.... And one of Mine's lol got P Zero's on the car and they look and feel far better than contis

"And best of all the best car l have owned or rented lol" im truly glad you are pleased with the car mate, always a risk involved ordering a colour you've not really seen, I dont think many people would order a colour not knowing if its flat or pearlescent, props to you!

also, im in love with that purple, if it had roof rails, and my Ara blue next to that........I'd probably lean towards the cadburys special

I loathe the M6. The A1, A66 is a wee wee bit longer to the Glasgow area but with most of the roundabouts gone, it is a pleasant drive and you miss the Birmingham traffic chaos and the perennial roadworks.

That ^ S3 SB looks like exclusive Venetian violet to me

That ^ S3 saloon looks quite tasty
Don't know about the 'potential' customers in the background mind ...
lol

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Well since you are still sober...I think.....Intrigued to find out the differences you have noted in saloon with mag-ride , 19" wheels vs the hatchback in handling, suspension ride in different modes and also cabin noise. The colour has achieved your wow factor.

 

[Jassyo06]

Ps they had a Huge spec Nardo RS5 just off the transporter..... What a stunning looking car it was even with the transportation film on.... Best looking Audi in years

It was a flat paint mate with not a ounce of metallic fleck in it lol

 

[Bristle Hound]

Bet it was crazy silly money mind ...
Some Audi's just suit nerdo & some don't IMHO
Saw a nerdo B8.5 RS4 today. Looked stunning !

 

[Jassyo06]

Don’t say that, I’m waiting for mine to turn up white

Your Mica blue will look a bit tasty as Del boy would say mate especially with the matt aluminium package

 

[Bristle Hound]

Might need cleaning 'properly' on a sunny day lol
If not, a flat purple ?
Better off with Ford's old Sahara beige (for those of you old enough to remember it lol)

 

[AudiNutta]

It is indeed! Showing paint shop now

The RS5 puts the Sexy into the Nardo mate.... Truly a special car and it all the carbon trim but with a pano-roof... Wish I had taken a photo damn.... Lol

@AudiNutta - Like you I liked a lot riviera blue, now its between voodoo & nogaro for me

Me thinks nogaro is a touch darker, but there's not a lot in it IMO

If only I had £2400 to spend on exclusive paint ...

Nogaro is definitely darker, but it’s so similar. If I were to choose it would be Voodoo by a million miles!
I was really unsure on Voodoo but after seeing that photo of Jassy’s, what a colour.

 

[AudiNutta]

Your Mica blue will look a bit tasty as Del boy would say mate especially with the matt aluminium package

Fingers crossed, yeah Alu touches should suit her nicely Won’t be long now, showing paint shop.. hopefully will hit QC Monday and be on its way Wednesday / Thursday. Hoping for 3 weeks to get here. Not booked into the detailer until 22nd though for PPF, so will only be sat around. I am just very eager to see it.

It’s very strange waiting for a car and not knowing what it will look like, any other car I’ve bought I can go and see lookalikes.

 

[Daveotto]

a chinky and 4 wee cans..

Still p****** I was stood up and for a chinky... pffff

column stalks.... Don't feel as good

Thought it was just me, agree on the stalks, and I still notice the difference every time I drive the car.....wonder if PFL stalks are an easy retrofit?

 

[TDI-line]

Man, i thought after 26 pages this S3 was going to have wings or at least helicopter blades.

 

[TDI-line]

But it does look lovely Jassy, at last you can relax.

And start planning your next car.....
