Have never thought the S3 BE alloys are worthy but the Pretorias really set it off nicely.

Centre caps on order. Unfortunately the caps on the BE alloys didn't fit
I came from a MT to a S Tronic so I'm in absolute love with it. I'll never go back to a manual now! S3 interior is a lot more classy inside with all the nice finishing touches.
I had a DSG R32 for nearly 9 years, that was my first. I don't miss changing gear one bit, especially in slow moving traffic where your're up and down a gear constantly!

I have to say IMO that the TTS in standard finish looks better than the S3 with BE and Sepang looks better in the sun
They need to be in high gloss black.... To disguise the R..... Association
Sepang..... Smokes ye in that photo mate Sorry.... Lol
Now if you added in my voodoo to that photo now that would be a awesome trio of blue Audi's..... Still think sepang would look the best though

It does look pretty good in the sun, it's a good comparison shot of the 2
Well when you get it, cone down here and we'll park em next to each other.
I actually think Voodoo is darker than Ara Blue but lighter than sepang.... Time will tell..... My car is at least another 2 months away

@jassyo06 - Thanks my wee scotch friend !
You need to try a 50/50 mix of Sonax BSD & Adam's Detail Spray. 'Tis a fab bit of alchemy ! lol
Order being placed for new S3 tomorrow and the one thing I've been deliberating over more than any other is colour.
Navarra or Daytona?
I love Daytona dearly but I'm on my second 8V in that colour so gravitating towards Navarra now purely for that reason, plus it does look awesome.
But then I see pics of S3s in Daytona.....
AARRGGHH!

Urrggghhh No No No. They're applying the same makeover they gave the golf 7.5. The grill is fine but for the love of god don't put those trims around the fog light area. They're the main reason I decided to ditch Golf and go for an A3Very crude rendering of potential wide-grilled 2020 A3...
One of the big disappointments when I was getting mine. Even ordering the standard key with my A5, then S5 they had slots in the dash for a fob.Same as the key to my colleagues 2007 A4 Cab! Guess they made quite a few of them
Thats why I was asking. Its the exactly the same key I had in 2008!
Someone I work with has a bog standard A4 and the key is really nice. Why can't they do that?

Hmm....I had Daytona previously and although happy with Flo I do sometimes regret not going for Daytona (and i nearly did)...it really is a wonderful colour ...so i still think I have another Daytona left in me along the line...however...twice would be enough.....Navarra is a corker of a blue ..high maintenance no doubt but worth it...a change is as good as a rest!!!
People assume Navarra is hard to keep clean for some reason, but my pics above are of my 8 month old car which looks like that purely through washing using snow foam and rinsing clean every few weeks. No deatailing, polishing etc at all. Tyres dressed obviously.

Those pics are truly fabulous AB.....snow foam every few weeks still sounds like high maintenance lol...no ...my hesitation with dark colours (and I have owned many a dark coloured car) comes from the rain/water marks and dust that show up more so than lighter colours ..but that's the trade off of having the deeper colours I guess......I suspect Navarra would be a little better than say the black TT!
True on both counts mate. But for some reason mine gets washed more frequently than the wifes TT
Do love Daytona but the new S3 is going to be Navarra, just for a change 
@lekky your pics have reminded me about GB plates - need to have a word with the dealer and see if they can supply these from new to save me the bother of changing them later. Can't abide putting a sticker on the back.

Black Pretoria's on Ibis White sedan, so much lighter than the OEM Audi wheels.
How much were the Black prets and how did you change the badge to Audi?
I want to change my wheels and I loved the prets on my R - I think black would look good on my Navarra S3 Saloon...
