First of all allow me to introduce myself. I'm Lucas and just yesterday I bought a 61 reg A3 2.0 TDI Sport 5dr in brilliant black, although am yet to collect it.
Really looking forward to getting it, but the only thing I dislike about it are the alloys.
They are currently 16", but I intend to put on the "kinetic" style alloys which are 17". Can I up the size of the wheels without any other potential issues cropping up? I'm sure I can physically change them myself, but is there anyone out there who's done it who can vouch for its success?
My second question could be construed as a fairly dumb one, so please forgive my naivety; I was under the impression that the "Sportback" A3 was simply a 5dr A3 as opposed to a 3dr. I ask this question as the car I bought was not advertised as a Sportback. I've also noticed during my searches on Auto Trader that some are advertised as Sportback and some don't seem to be, but I cannot work out why, if there even is indeed a difference.
Many thanks.
