Long overdue boss. S3Simon tried to arrange one earlier this year, but it came to nowt. We held one last year which was well represented. Would be good to get another organised. Might need to meet in the middle.
I thought that both the pre-facelift and post-facelist S3's had the same grilles. I know the bumpers are different though.
Someone correct me if I am wrong though?
Look forwrad to seeing it on.
OMFG paulie seriously cant wait to see this on now but christ you dont hang around do you hun fair do's lol.x
Filthy!
First S3 in SCOTLAND, let alone the UK with the RS grill. And that's not a starter for ten by the way!
Hats off to you Paulie, finger on the pulse, attention to detail. You're in the lead.
Look forwrad to seeing it on.
There's two RS3 diffusers on ebay germany too if your interested
Let the RS3 Modding scene Begin
jesus christ! where the hell did you score those?!
as above. it will look sound when fitted!
Wow, please please fit it and get some pictures!!!
hurry the hell up mate! want to see it and make myself jealous lol
Lol, ..I'm having to wait until I get the plate holder to go with it, Dude . I bought an RS6 one, but it really doesn't look right, so have PM'd Dave at Stoke Audi this morning to ask him to order the proper RS3 one for me. The guys at my local custom shop were going to pop the grille on for me this avo, but when I realised the RS6 plate holder wasn't gonna work, I had to cancel, ..GUTTED!!!
Not good Paullie. But be worth the wait!! Dont mind me asking how much you paid for the RS6 one? Could be interested not even thought about the plate and my car goes in on wednesday Hopefully Dave get back to you ASAP and you can get it on this week
That's not good Paullie
What's happening with your old S3 optic one?
Was thinking about your old one too, with the resale on that your paying buttons altogether LOL. Could have had it fitted & just stuck the number plate on the dash LOL
Hey Ash, I bought it off Ebay too, got it (used) for £30 + £7.50 postage, but it'll not be any good to you now as I Dremeled it to within an inch of its life on Saturday to make the fixing points fit the new grille! It fits it now, but it looks too bulky, so I decided to bite the bullet and get the proper RS3 mount. I saw on the EPC yesterday that the RRP on the RS6 plate holder is £59.28 (just in case you need them, the part number for the brilliant black holder is 4F0 807 285 BP Y9B and you also need 2 x oval headed panel screws part number N 102 473 02 @ £0.10 each) . The RS3 one's even more expensive, ..but it seems that everything for the RS3 is a shed load more than for most other models at the mo, lol. x
Lifted this from another forum:
a full kit is already available from BKS tuning:
front bumper conversion - OEM Audi RS3 8P front bumper Conversion - BKS-Tuning
rear bumper conversion - OEM Audi RS3 8P rear bumper Conversion - BKS-Tuning
rear spoiler - OEM Audi RS3 8P rear spoiler conversion - BKS-Tuning
cill runners - OEM Audi A3 8P RS3 door runners - BKS-Tuning
side skirts appear to be the same as the S3.
so around £6300 + VAT & Shipping, then add painting and fitting on top.
If anyone was considering the RS conversion this may be the only way as I'm sure I read that the parts wouldn't be available from dealers without a vin number.
Ohh haha Did Dave give you a price yet? Cheers for the part numbers may order one tomorrow not 100% sure im gonna run a front plate yet. Didnt have one for 6months and never got pulled up on it. I'll probably put my front reg some where just dont want it to ruin the grille I cant wait to see your car once its on. Yeah no suprise the RS3 parts are gonna cost a bomb S3 parts are bad enough never mind RS3 lol!
looking forward to this mod eagerly!!
The VIN number thing sucks!
I suspect any spare parts on ebay will go for stupid money!
You lucky thing!! Cant wait to see the finished product
Will be posting pics tomorrow and will reveal all re fitment. x
Can't believe we have to wait til tomorrow Paullie!!
Another sleepless night
Thats just plain cruel! Lol
Did the number plate holder go on ok?
Paullie, 2nd only to Hitchkcock in the suspense department...
LOL
