    1st Official 8V RS3 shots

    I would be shocked if the RS3 is priced at £40k, I think £45k is more realistic without options. Given a reasonably spec'd S3 is c.£36k, I think the developments quoted above will really push the base price well North of £40k. I would like to be optimistic as I may consider chopping in my S3...

    Powder coat or wrapped wheels and where?

    When my S3 eventually arrives I want to get the wheels powder coated or wrapped black. My old S3 had powder coated wheels however I've no experience of wrapping. What's the comparative difference in cost? I'd expect powder coating to cost c. £50 per wheel. The impermanence of wrapping does...
