Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

She'll find a way of making it your fault if no doubt - they have these super powers :whistle2:

Haha she hates the car, I make her carry a change of clothes every time we go to the stables otherwise it stinks of horse ****. She’s pushing towards getting rid and getting a 4x4 or pick up.

Your RS grill looks strange around the mount for the 4 circle logo ie it looks far far too pronounced mate, it seems the grill is also too far back into the engine bay?? ?? ?
 
Ah cheers, is yours 3 door as well? Last of a dieing breed...
Yeh mine is 3 door. I ordered it just a few days before they closed the books. I remember seeing a picture of yours at that time and it helped convince me 3 doors was defo what I wanted.

Good sfuff, I do like the 3 door, suits the 18’s better.

I checked the alignment and compared to other pics of an rs3....grill is not pushed in and seems the same as others. Also looked at other photos of the rings and they look the same to me....maybe I'm missing something? Also the black rings tend to make it more pronounced. Maybe I should place the chrome back on. Unless I'm missing it, I don't see any difference? I'll attach some pics layer to compare. Thanks for your honest opinion though

The plinth on your grill is more pronounced and your grill looks flatter, RS3's have a curve to there grill

It may be just the angle of the photo or the light because i don't see any difference but whatever floats your boat bro. Like it or not, I still think it looks nice....has the curve to it as well.....black ring do make seem more pronounced as i said. Besides, I'm not trying to replicate a RS3...hence the badge...no one would look at my ride and say "it's not a real RS3..look at his grill, the rings stick out too far" etc. I did compare the oem rings with the aftermarket one and the oem is thinner but it dont fit on this one. I'm happy with it and that's all matters to me.

i get what people are saying about it looking flatter somehow without the round, but i think it looks the nuts without the curvyness too?

Not really my cuppa tea either, but that's what makes us different!

What did it look like before ? :) Not seen a Vegas saloon, mind you not seen a sportback either in real life.

I say this everytime I see an ABT RS3 and RS4/5, why would they put 4 exhausts on it? Stick with the twin oval pipes that indicate that its an RS car. 4 exhausts will make it look like a modded S3.

I felt more comfortable with my ability to park close to that kerb than someone opening a door on me , that was the biggest gap I could find

The owner knows he has an ABT RS3 and that is what matters. Personally I like the 4 pipes.

Yeh. Get off that fence and tell us what you really think! Not my cup of tea either but it would be boring if we all liked the same stuff.
