That certainly is going to be a rare colour.
So what colour is this?

I noticed one or two of you have mentioned that the inner exhausts get dirty and are hard to keep clean.
I use Poorboy's Wheel Sealant, applied 3/4 coats of it to the exhausts, it now allows me to just wipe them with a general clean every week.

I was wondering if you are finding the Estoril Blue paint really soft and easy to mark/scratch? I have mine booked in for a detail in a few weeks to get the dealer supplied mess of swirl marks removed and have been advised to get a silicon coating applied to avoid the swirl marks from even looking at the paint!
beautiful colour and combination with the chrome. such a rich colour with great depth and reflective properties and yet so versatile under bright light.I noticed one or two of you have mentioned that the inner exhausts get dirty and are hard to keep clean.

I've not had any issues with marks on the paint no, when i picked the car up from the dealer there were no marks on it anywhere, I got them to keep the white protective film on until the last day, and pleaded with them to take care as they wouldn't let me wash it etc...
Once home, I used DoDo Juice Lime Prime, then applied AutoGlym HD wax, and used Poorboy's Wheel Sealant on alloys and exhausts,
since then it's been really easy to clean and keep up with each week, no light scratches or swirl marks. (Done 5,000 miles now)
Although on Monday I did get some very bad (but inevitable I guess) stone chips on the front of the bonnet which went very deep

hey bud, thats the one i took a pic of. i agree about the wheels, most of the estoril blue pics I've seen had the S wheels on. makes the car look different. If you know your audis, then you would know that this isn't a standard colour that an s-line could have for a start so you know its an S3. no one in their right mind is gonna pay £2k for a custom colour on this car. not with any logic that i can comprehend. i was going to pop down today but I'm going tomorrow instead, as only got up about 10 mins ago! just writing this while waiting for my lemsip to cool down
I've ordered exclusive and there are quite a few exclusive colours around!
Haha we all have our little obsessions
You have your car?
Brake dust on the S3 is horrific, especially on the fronts.

Hi, thinking of painting the stock black calipers to red like the original one. Anybody can share on the color code of the paint please? Thanks!
Just use Halfords red brake calliper paint,
Personally I'd leave it black
