Thanks! Still getting around on here, will start to use it more now that I have the car!
Nice, but firstly some decent pics....
I asked the dealership not to clean it so it's getting done properly tomorrow morning/afternoon, then I'll take my camera out to some decent locations... weather permitting

Nice, congrats!
Some mod ideas in terms of level of involvement (roughly):
- Quattro sill decals
- Mist washer jets
- Paint brake calipers red (if you don't already have them)
- Front splitter?

I'm just going to polish and wax for the moment, got a holiday to pay off soon so it'll get ceramic coated just before the winter! Resonator Delete will happen eventually too
Mist washer jets will be a must I think, also a front splitter will be on the list (once I can find a decent one for the FL). Was also thinking of carbon mirror caps from Raywell Design, just nothing over the top for the moment
Go for the resonantor delete, if you love it now you will never want to stop driving it with the res delete 
It takes the car to a new level.

Or carbon wrapping - much cheaper and reversible.
I paid £178 from an Audi dealer on eBay. Still reversible as you'll have the standard caps and 100 times better looking than carbon wrap.
What alloys did you go for.. awesome by the way

Just the standard 5 twin star spoke, looking at aftermarket in the next couple of months. A friend may be selling a set of 19" O.Z Ultraleggas so I'll try those on soon
Best wheels in my opinion, best colour as well! Any more pictures? My S3 saloon in Vegas yellow is due to be built week 24.
Ultraleggara is a very very very good wheel. It's extremely light for a cast wheel, and looks good too... if you can get them at a bargain price they're well worth having;
Don't forget though, there's plenty of others out there that would look ****** good on an S3, even a yellow one;
Oh, and if you're selling those standard 18"s, do give me a shout. I have a feeling that kerb rash is going to be a feature in my cars future.
Mrs GSB is actually extremely competent, I'm thinking more of my own skill set! I took her to the London Rally School for a day a few years ago as we'd just bought a new mid engined car and she'd never driven anything rear wheel drive before. With a few minutes of tuition she was flat out in second and hanging the back end of an old RS2000 out on a slippery corner like Roger Clark in Kielder Forest. She has since successfully repeated the trick a few times in our MX5 and both our MR2's when they've become a little wayward on wet or diesel soaked roads. No mean feat as the MR2's were snappy little ********. She did touch a kerb the other day, but sadly, I'm usually the one who damages cars...Is Mrs GSB going to be at the wheel then

19" as standard on the saloon and they are forged not cast like the other wheel options on the S3 saloon so the best wheels IMO

I thought we were taking about a hatch on stock 18's?
Ultralegga is a cast wheel, in all sizes. There are forged wheels that are a lb or two lighter per corner, but they're pricey.

What is that app?! I've been looking for something other than Photoshop. If I get another set of wheels I'll be keeping the standard in case I ever get rid.Ultraleggara is a very very very good wheel.

It's not an app, it's a very comprehensive sales website in the US that allows you to pick models and colours and then "try on" wheels from their catalogue. Sadly, it's limited to US market cars, and they only get the saloon in the US, so no hatches...What is that app?! I've been looking for something other than Photoshop.
