Hi Guys

Been floating a while and reading up on the Audi. My last car (vdub Polo) got in an accident and that was the end of that. Long story short i wanted an A3 next. Luckily for me i have a family member that works for Audi head office in Milton Keynes, (she actually works on the MMI layout) and i got a tasty 20% off the order, can only order 2 cars per year. Specced it quite high i thought, could have been more but came down to budget.

I thought i would be collecting it from a dealer - was i wrong. I had to collect it from the main VW hanger where i believe all staff for VW group collect their cars, saw a range of gti's, Golf R's, 3 or 4 sweet r8's, i wasn't actually meant to take photos but i grabbed a sneaky 2, place was amazing and all the cars had pretty high spec.

Had the car a week or so and love it! (Complete spec in the sig) Feels like a space ship inside (well compared to the polo i had) Finally gave it a good clean today the wheels was filthy! Also when i got the rs3 grill fitted i got the slam panel sprayed black AND the lower two grills sprayed gloss black so they all match, not sure if others have done that yet, but it looks much better. Just waiting on my new plates to come through hence nothing fitted on the front at the moment.

Only a few more mods but enjoying the great advice i have been reading on the forum!

Welcome, great looking car, did you get the grille on straight away? And welcome to the world of Audi UK cars, it's brilliant isn't it that 20%!! Used to have family member there but now at JLR and there's hardly any discount on anything for family. Enjoy your new car!

I just noticed i spelt grille wrong :|, i fitted it about a week after i got the car, the 20% is so sweet. I originally wanted the saloon but because it was so new she wasn't able to get the discount + the waiting time was forever!
 
Very nice mate!

How much did the grille set you back, I rather like it!
 
Looking at an RS4 today and the holes in these aftermarket S3 grilles are definitely too big compared to Audi standard. Did you have to paint the crash bar behind the grille black?
 
did you read his post? i guess not. just pretty pictures.

Yeah the holes are bigger but when you just glance you cant tell or when the average person takes a look, so overall looks much better all matching.
 
Hi,to be honest the front grill looks a little out of place on your car....but the colour and them LED headlamps more than make up for it.Enjoy.

Car looks smart

I'm more curious if your family member has any input getting the MMI to by default(have a setting) to display preset radio stations instead of the station list

Sorry dude i think she only works on the visual layout, like the car effects in the settings.

Great looking Grille!

What a difference it makes. Your S Line looks better than the S3 front end now:hubbahubba:

I had a Cousin who worked at Renault years ago and he managed to get me a full Renault sport bodykit, painted and fitted FOC.

It was on a scenic though:scared2:
