Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

[Soup]

I think there's still a few east end pubs with a handful of dinosaurs in them who'd disagree with your sweeping geographical assessment!!

My advice is this .....cast of the shackles of your tedious political correctness and unleash you inner caveman..........you know it's for the best

I take your point though, we do sound like a rather pathetic pair of prehistoric has-beens!! lol

Sorry guys, catching up on the activity on here a bit late in the day.

If it's not too unladylike for a woman of my mature years to say ....... PMSL ........ love this forum .....

Did someone mention Navarra...?

View attachment 106855

All that is missing is a bit more length at the back!!

I love Navarra was nervous when I ordered never having seen it but I am delighted with the colour. The number of comments I have had on the colour is amazing. Can't wait to get the 'products' on to it next week. May get it as shiny as yours.

5450 hours, 227 days, or 32 and a bit weeks, but who's counting? There's a few subtle differences between PFL and FL I've noted;

Vents on the dash no longer have jet mode, which, in total opposition to their intended function, sucks.
.

Sorry - just catching up. Didn't have an S3 before to compare, but I think our S3 has this feature? At least, if you pull/push the centre of the vent it moves in/out a few mm, presumably to adjust the spread of the air flow - or are you talking about something different.

Also - as nice as the Audi puddle lights are, I much prefer a light in the door handle or wing mirror which then illuminates the area before you open the door to get in.

Finally, having bought Navarre 'eyes open' as to the dark car looking dirty quickly thing, we are actually pleasantly surprised that it doesn't show the dirt as much as expected. Clearly helped by the multiple layers of wax/glaze already applied.

It seems some early facelift cars received the older design vent from the pre facelift. The newer facelift vents have a fixed centre knob, and don't have the airflow adjustment feature. This is disappointing, but I imagine I'll live.

Like you, I bought Navarra without ever seeing it in the flesh, and it's a risk that's paid off. Because of the dark colour though I did get the paint polished and ceramic coated which does wonders for its ability to shrug off dirt and road grime.

You could just swap the vents for these?....

Good to hear as I picked it without seeing it close up but it looked a stunning colour in pics.
Pics from recent deliveries on here have done nothing to suggest I've made the wrong decision - just the opposite!

Easy now... I do have some feelings you know.

Never thought to investigate my true origins Jass. I know that London & Essex feature strongly, but I don't think there can be a great deal of Scots in me.

For one thing, I lack the gene that tells an otherwise rational man that wearing a skirt is a good idea and acceptable in public, especially in a climate that offers howling wind, driving rain and the sort of temperatures that polar bears would think twice about going out in.

Add to that the instinctive recoil away from the pain induced by bagpipe music and the ability to sustain a suntan, and I dont think there's any doubt that that the highlands didn't feature in my particular gene pool.

Reply....Just as expected.....lol....hey not all scots have the inability to sustain a sun tan,,,mate me Mrs has a Perma tan all year round...lol

Right then, just to keep @Bristle Hound from imploding, and because I'd just washed it (although naturally, it pi55ed it down within moments of finishing, the heavens opening before I'd even had time to reel up my hosepipe...)

Looks cracking Grant .

Unfortunately mine suffered the same fate from the elements also within a few minutes of finishing

 

[Jassyo06]

Blindin mate...in more ways than one.....lol...chrome and them Matrix Candles....anyways how you finding them candles.....are they worth £900 bangers

 

[GSB]

They're a damn sight better than the pre-facelift LEDs were, even on dipped beam. In matrix mode they are amazingly good. I've always struggled with driving at night, these make it much easier. Yes, they're pricey, but I think they're far greater value for money and more useful than the likes of folding mirrors, rear view cameras, or the self parking nonsense.

Love me folding wingers myself wouldn't do without them on any car,but that aside.... I need to try the matrix candles before l commit to them....as they are on the lower part of my options list

I think the matrix lights are particularly good on unlit roads, or bendy country roads, but for around town and lit motorways the standard LED's are great. I reckon they are better/brighter/whiter than they were on the TT. I'm with you on them being at the lower end of the options list.

What options you thing of for the RS @jassyo06 ?

 

[Karen O']

Talking of headlights. Does anyone have a problem with their LED lights not shining very far out on completely dark roads? I feel like mine dont go far enough

I think on completely dark roads you probably need the full beam on...?

 

[Simon L]

No Karen's right mate Audi don't tend to make a very good job of adjusting the main beam correctly out of the factory. Been meaning to get mine done for over a year but keep forgetting about it......doh!

 

[Karen O']

Cant have full beam on when cars are coming towards me on opposite side of the road

 

[Karen O']

Might put mine in to see if they can do anything with them

 

[Simon L]

Exactly right. Take you car into the dealer they'll adjust them for you. If they're anything like mine the dipped beam is absolutely cr4p on a dark road.....probably 15 to 20 feet max!

 

[azibux1]

*shouldn't... you can

Lol don't want to put a downer on your new car but people (professionals who ran beam tests) said that the PFL LED lights were actually worse than the PFL Xenon... So unfortunately the FL LED lights may be similar and may be outperformed by Xenon

There was a really good website with the beam pattern images but I can't think of what it was right now
