Got mine yesterday, now it´s in for ceramic coating.
Some updated shots. I had a few wheel swaps but am back on the HRE's and lowered on MSS sport kit springs.
Also did some interior modding to "finish" the center console with some CF and alcantara. The CF center console is from Neidfaktor and the alcantara work was done by a local shop here. Happy to be rid of all that plastic
Neidfaktor took my VIN to match the CF and alcantara to the exact OEM material.
Edit: Also had the Audi OEM CF mirrors and spoiler fitted.

Fantastic, great teaser! Can’t wait to see more, how are you finding it?
Picked up my rs3 saloon today. Love it. Coming from an s3 8v sportback, which is niw the wifes.
One odd thing is that i fir some reason thought it came with tte semi auto parking system like you get on the s3. It doesn't and its not an option. Odd. Anyway no biggie as i used it oncec on the s3

Yes to some degree its an upgrade. Drive brakes steering feels alot better. Cant comment on performance. Interior feels a bit better as i dont have ss seats or extended leather. mmi feels a backward step in graphics than the 2014 8v s3. No parking plus system seems odd but i wont miss it as used it once in over 3.5 years on the s3Pics

Everything great so, except the Audi connect. What have Audi done!? Worked fine with my S3 2014, no issues. Now its a nightmare to setup with 15 million steps using the car, a phone and a computer/laptop. Finally got logged in and the cubic site states my car is an Audi S3 and I have no data plan - WTF!!!!!!!!!! what morons designed this app/setup. It states I need a data plan at £130 for the year (wow, I use a Three preloaded data sim in my S3 and that cost me about £25 for 12gb for the year, not £130!)
Also the manual is USELESS as its for those Audi A3's with the SIM card slot like my S3!!
I work in IT and Telecoms and this is quite possibly the worst tech implementation I have ever seen, especially as it used to work fine on the S3. Stupid things like enter your PIN in your MMI...where???? you morons! 2 hours of my life wasted and got nowhere, thanks Audi.
Also according to myaudi the PIN code for my rs3 is the SAME pin code for my S3, that cant be correct!
I have LTE/4G, shows it at the bottom but cant connect to audi connect via THREE phones so assume the server is down and has been down all day (support is terrible, sorry non existent). Therefore, i cant access google maps, just normal maps and non of the audi connect services. However, i can access spotify and make calls on my phone as they use bluetooth. If i try and enter the PIN (what moron buried this is the menu system!) into the MMI then it just states the server is unavailable at this time. If i access the data inside site it just states my car doesn't have a sim and i need to pay...dur!I feel your pain! I have no LTE connection from the in-built sim. Off to the dealers on Tuesday for them to (hopefully) sort it out. How could they get this so wrong?!
i know, on my S3 2014, insert sim, go onto my audi and register and get pin. go onto mmi enter pin. dead simple.I feel your pain! I have no LTE connection from the in-built sim. Off to the dealers on Tuesday for them to (hopefully) sort it out. How could they get this so wrong?!

I must say, as much as I want to make sure it’s working.. I don’t see the use in Audi Connect? I can’t be using it right. I’ve never, ever used it in 12,000 miles in the S3... still don’t really know what it does exactly.
I agree..... poor by most standards!!!!I think it’s use is limited to be honest by today’s standards. I just want it for google maps. I’m surprised that you can’t use the app to lock/unlock and remote start the car. This tech isn’t new by any means and id have expected Audi to have that available on all new facelift models.
Hey, that looks like NZ -- hello from a fellow Kiwi. That must be one of the first Sportbacks to arrive?Finally mine has arrived at the dealership! Ignore the wheels, getting them swapped to black rotors.
Expecting delivery on Friday
