I had the same concern with the velcro but I had it on my motorbike and know people who have used it on their car plates and never had any issues with thw weather. They are probably telling that juat to cover their backs.

Yeah super easy to remove mate. Take the numberplate off first and then remove the screws. All you need to do then it lift the plate holder up and pull it off. Mine came off first try, was quite suprised it was that easy. The velcro is absolutely solid, removed the plate to adjust the postion and yeah, that wasn't easy haha.

Car has now been fully ceramic coated, along with gloss black wheels, black badges and some frontal PPF. Thanks to Midlands Car Care for doing a top job.
Also recorded a 3.8 sec 0-60, not bad considering in was in the wet.
Excusing your terrible paddle extenders - I like the plate.
Is that legal? And how/where did you get the mount and plate made?
And does the existing holder just sit on top of the grill? Did you drill into the grill?
Yeah it's perfectly legal, as long as the text is the correct size and there is a border of I believe 15mm around the edge of the text the plate can be as short or as long as you like. The existing holder is screwed into the grill and also has a few clips to hold it firmly in place. I cut down my old numberplate and used the existing holes to fix it onto the grill.

Well, today was finally collection day! I can honestly say that I am in love with the car. I did ~80 miles today and I was stopped a total of 6 times when parking up, at traffic lights, etc with just people complimenting the car (and the sound!) - I've never experienced that before with any car I have owned so it's totally surreal. I even had a group of kids outside Halfords who asked to sit inside the car and take a photo for their mates!
Anyway... out with the old and in with the new...
And here she is!

Without me looking at every picture is there a FL with the numberplate on the side? Ive done this on my Pre FL but the new one looks like a smaller gap to do this.
Congrats on the pick up Callump 
I picked up mine from detailer today, got Modesta BC-05 and Modesta leather treatment (don´t remember the name) done... looked damn good, pity about the ****** weather on the way home though... (first image of the detailers other ongoing jobs, felt like my RS3 was in capable hands

Only picked up the car yesterday and 3 of the 4 center wheels caps have fallen off whilst driving... dealership are arranging replacements now. Hopefully the 4th one doesn't fall off in the meantime.

Oh dear! I know during transport they are removed these days, so they have only lasted between PDI and when you noticed them missing.
Car looks great, nice to see a local one on here!! Perhaps will have to meet up one day.

Looks great but why not keep the Audi centre cap covers? (Assuming that they come off on your new wheels). I think it looks tacky/bad to have third party parts with their name on them - specially the wheels. I would make sure if I changed wheels that it would always say Audi in the middle.
I undrestand but it cant fit, not same diametter, and beside i dont like that Audi chrome stock one

U can check on page for UK prices

Europe is 1298 EUR + VAT
I had considered the same, are there any calibration differences to traction or stability control if selecting the wider fronts?
Just had the windows tinted (40%) - so thought I'd share...
I'm ouside the UK, so I'm legally allowed a top strip on the windscreen and all other windows fully tinted.
I've also had an acrylic paint protection applied. I'm really happy with the overall look.

Cracking optioned car.....but ye failed at the final hurdle with the no cost Nerdo.....only my opinion though
It’s good to see people receiving their cars, my original rs3 saloon order arrived at the dealers this week and they’re using it now as a showroom model, it’s in viper green. Hoping to pop by some point this week and have a look. It’s at the Lincoln dealership if anyone is local.

Harsh!
As you say, your opinion, but I think Nardo with Black optics look amazing
