I don't think so. My s3 is for sale, sepang, comfort pack, privacy & stronic with 5.5k miles. 15plate and it's listed at 28k and I have had no interest what so ever. It's the cheapest on auto trader spec for spec. Well looked after, only v-power and only selling as want to get rs3 or a 997, 911...

That the thing my car was in auto trader with reg showing so it obviously a stolen car and someone searched on auto trader and found a car the same. Idiots can't count though as the number of doors don't match. Only concerlation like I said is that it was private reg and I've out the car back...

When I spoke to dartford crossing guys. He said he can see on the picture it's a 5 doors so I'm just going to send a copy of info for my car and he said will be dropped. Only issue is the v5 now has a std plate allocation. So will have to get some kind of note from the dvla.

So..... Come home to find a fixed penalty notice behind the door, luckily not for spending. It was for crossing the dartford crossing and not paying back in July. A rattling of my head and I realise I wasn't down that way on the date & time in question. Look into the picture and it shows a...

New 8v does sound good though (with a different turbo)

Clarksons comments

Lots of manufactures are doing it now from Vauxhall with the corsa vxr to merc c63, rs3 even the rs6. Look at the s6 has a v8 twin turbo that doesn't have a burble and pop but the rs6 with a varient of the same engine does. So I'm sure it's possible to be mapped in without doing any harm or...

Id love to have an overrun burble..... I hope it's something that becomes available on mapping options.

I used to run the 'game' on my old s3 8p, doing 10miles plus after 0, never got stuck, However, Tried it on my r32 and said I had 10 mile range when I left work. Nearet shel v power was 4 miles away. Ended up 1mile from shel on a main bridge & car cut out at rush hour traffic. That was one...

I've still been thinking about this and if you look at most new Audi rs cars the rs grill does have a plastic back and isn't see through in the centre. Which makes me think.... If I were to get an aftermarket grill as I'm not paying the £500 plus for the oem one just yet, all I would need to...

Did he say if the UK s3 is different to the rest of Europe. Hoping so as I would really like to fit the honeycombe grill. Either the oem rs4 in a couple month or an aftermarket one

So anybody else know if the s3 foam is different to the a3 behind the grill? Could throw a big spanner in works if the tube is to do with airbag or any safety feature.

That's not good. I wonder what the upcoming rs3 will have then. Ill have to do a bit more research.

If that the case. What do you do with the air pipe hose thing and any cables. Hide them? But won't that effect what ever they do?

This could be interesting. I'm planning on fitting the rs grill next month to my s3. (Too much chrome for my liking) Can't the foam not stay in place or will it be too noticeable behind the grill?
