This particular one doesn't look so hot to me. Like its on jacked up suspension!
Yeah it does look a bit bland on the outside - especially compared to mine which is the same colour with the same wheels. Don't think the optics grille and lack of an S-Line grille badge is doing it any favours. Plus it is jacked up like a tractor.
Yes, I spotted that last week. They appear to be shorter across the top than the bottom resulting in a longer right hand side of the light (if you follow what I'm saying!)

I thought the S-line was supposed to have chrome surrounds on the foglights and a different style (sportier) bumper.....that looks like a Sport front end to me.
I agree, the S-LIne I saw had chrome on the fogs, unless it's an extra.Got to say though the S-Line I saw did look rather nice, really like the front end.

The S-line that you saw - was the front end much different to the red one above (other than the missing chrome surrounds on the fogs)?
Dave.
yes.
there has been about 3 facelifts to the A3 S-line!
Original
Then facelifted to single grill
Then the bumper was adjusted slightly to this
And now there is the facelift of the facelift in the original post!
Yes, I see what you mean now.
It still doesn't explain the lack of the chrome on the foglights and sporty bumper on red S-line though. According to the PDF, the S-line should come with both and, as far as I can see, that red one doesn't.
Aren't there two S-Line packs? The exterior pack and the sports pack?
Over here what you do is buy the A3 sport and then add the sports pack or the exterior pack or both.?
there are no longer s-line badges on the grille and bump strips. there were never s-line badges on the boot. the only s-line badges are on the side of the car where the side repeaters used to be.TeeJay said:don't think that's an Sline.
Not even the 'sport' is that high - unless it's a 1.6 with the springs from a 2.0 fitted.
No Sline badges on grille, boot or bump strips.
No chrome around fogs.
No side skirts - thought the Sline was supposed to have these too?
The S line badges are now on the front wings, as seen in those pics.I don't think that's an Sline.

Is it possible that ordering the blackout pack removes the chrome from the fogs? My local dealer referred to the blackout pack before as a "dechroming pack". Could that be what this is?

It is a bit confusing, as the car doesn't have the chrome foglight surrounds, but it does have the new S line bumper designs at both the front and rear.
