so just got back from my local dealer and have ordered the RS3 red air vents for my S3..

i have a 2 week old mythos black 3 door with the supersport interior and just thought a tiny bit of colour would compliment it.. (currently gloss black)

thoughts? am i mad.. ? I'm also considering the audi red stripe genuine mats too..

just wanted to make it individual :):):)

Not mad at all. My wife has a Misano A1 Style which came with red air vents (although they are the outers not the inners like the RS3) and in all honesty I think they complement and lift the interior.

I bet they were not cheap though.......

thanks guys... no they were not cheap but i kept thinking about them after seeing them so i thought **** it ! ill just order them..

dealer gave me 10% off so they came out at £300 <GULP> but hey.. will spice it up a little me thinks..

anyone seen the mats in the flesh? they do not make S3 mats in RHD (weirdly) so i quite fancy theses.. I've always been a fan of the premium audi mats with the logos its just a shame they dont do s3 versions in RHD.

Cheers

I personally prefer the rubber mats but the striped ones would go with your new vents...:friends:

The trouble with any of the mats that fit Audi's is that they don't last long, well the drivers one doesn't anyway, as stupidly, Audi don't put a small rubber mat in the drivers carpet. Bit hard to see on your link whether those mats has a rubber foot mat built in for the drivers side, if not than personally I wouldn't bother, and would fit rubber mats in the front instead. Whilst you may go yuk, the rubber mats work really well, had them for 2 years in my S3 before I sold it for my RSQ3 - and put the original mats back in when I sold it, so they all looked supa dupa.
 
Very nice !! Have thought about these myself but held off so far as mines Daytona but on Mythos should look well smart !

Would love the carbon inlays to ;o)

Remember no need to dismantle the dash top the vents just lever out with a trim removal tool.

There's a German eBay site they sell mostly Oem alloys,but they also sell the Oem

red door/dashboard inserts,center console red cushion inserts like the ones you get with mono.pur and also the red faux leather door card inserts look them up if you're interested can't find the site on my phone at moment but this kit does look good... It's all really bits they fire on the S3 if you option a Audi exclusive interior

Shhh... Just supposing my FL S3 comes with red rings around the vents, I'd like to have a marketplace to swap them into so I can get some aluminium ones... :wink:

Wow! Not a fan of the red bottom steering wheel, looks like an afterthought (although in fairness, all of those additions are afterthoughts)...but the rest looks great.

Looks nice, as other have said, much better than the facelift scenario.

ARRIVED FROM THE FACTORY EARLY!!

Very happy with the look interior not so bland for me anymore

Mats have been refunded as the rears had no fastening hole things .. However wasn't majorly blown away with them to be honest so saved myself £80!!

In the states we only get ones without the diffuser flaps. I thought it was just Canada that got them. I wish they weren't so expensive to buy from Canada.

Im sure I've seen a guide somewhere where someone took them apart and painted them. I'll do some digging ...
