Welcome to The Hulk

[veeeight]

That's a window

I assure you there is a door in that photo, one which I went in and out of repeatedly to get the keys to the RS6 and R8

+5 for the gold wheels, although I would just gold where it's been diamond cut.

Your looking at the RS5 photo, I'm staring at the beading shots lol

 

[The Challinor]

It was only a 30s photochop so I won't be offended if you don't get them resprayed!

Kudos on the green though. I've always been a big fine of crazy colours on other people's cars but have always bottled it when it came to my own car.

Thanks mate, I've gotta say it's a amazing colour, I really do love it. Gotta be seen in person to appreciate fully.

@45bvtc
Was that pic taken at Wychwood Park?

It was... along with these:




Takes me back to a day in 1971 when we were deciding on a colour for a new Lotus - I wanted to go Pistachio (Green) but compromised with Lotus Yellow

 

[veeeight]

Hmmm. I was there, I saw that RS5 drive off !

 

[45bvtc]

Thanks mate, your RS3 was from Stafford wasn't it?

My cornflower blue RS3 came from Tyneside Audi via DK Engineering in 2011 but is serviced at Stafford Audi, great guys...

An ASN member 'BAGEY' took this in Newcastle on its first day out (THANK you Bagey):

I didn't find the photograph on ASN (http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/rs3-discussion-thread.107448/page-18) until I'd purchased the car and it was in my garage

Still not cleaned no, still driving and playing with the tech.

Weather has also been pretty poor, did get some cool beading shots as requested though.

@The Challinor, thanks, some good beeding going on there. x

Was waiting for your reply, took each one in between the rain yesterday.

Hi Ben

Well the colour is different and it looks great. Ignore the comments about what it's worth come resale time, i mean who thinks about what their car will be worth in say 3 years time when they have just bought it, just get out there and use it. We have had ours now for just over 12 months and it has over 15,000 miles on the clock. Lets see now if you can get 40+mpg out of it.

Crewe Audi have a Java green S3 in the showroom now.

 

[Blackwhite]

I think that the Gold Wheels would look awesome! They would complement the
color of your car.

2 People in favour of Gold wheels now, politely I can't say I'm convinced lol

 

[klauster]

I think the green might effect the residuals... Green is a notoriously bad luck colour for a car

Hi Jeff,

Long time no speak, glad you like it mate. Yet not really thinking about resale value, just really love the colour and the car, it's for my enjoyment!

May be a while before I see 40MPG out of it, it's drinking fuel atm but I'll put that down to it being new.

The Java Green S3 at Crewe is the one I cancelled, the one that should have been mine before I decided the colour wasn't for me.

Btw if anyone's interested i'm sure I can arrange a decent deal with Crewe on this.

 

[Martinbanshee]

+1 for gold wheels

 

[squiretolley]

I think the gold wheels would look awful IMO.

Great colour, but I think I'd have stuck with Java.

Hope you enjoy the car!

 

[lee_fr200]

That java is stunning, can you get more photos mate, maybe side on and rear on

 

[0B1001001]

-1 for the gold wheels but each to their own

Love the green though!

 

[The Challinor]

Yer I'm loving the wheels it has now guys, suits it really well.

You need some more pics of it clean outside so they don't look gold under the light!

 

[The Challinor]

Looks good in some light but as a whole is very pale, gold and citrusy, hence why I cancelled it and went for Porsche Viper Green.

Crewe Audi are selling it so should have some pics online, if it wasn't for me they wouldn't have it in. To be fair they were very good and let me swap colours as once they order a exclusive they cannot cancel it.

 

[lee_fr200]

From that view it looks lovely, very much like house of kolor limetime pearl

 

[Bristle Hound]

I think the gold wheels would look awful IMO.

Agreed

As always, just my opinion of course ...

 

[veeeight]

+1 Gold Wheels would really set off the green, it would be stunning

 

[The Challinor]

+1 Gold Wheels would really set off the green, it would be stunning

Shhhhhhhh

 

[Audimad]

Gold wheels would look ****** awful.

 

[veeeight]

Gold wheels would look great and compliment the green

 

[Blackwhite]

^ We told you Challinor!

 

[Dan_G]

Love it! Well done!

Will post a pic of my 911 in the same colour when I get into the garage...

 

[The Challinor]

Everyone shhhhh about the gold wheels

 

[Blackwhite]

Everyone shhhhh about the gold wheels

Three concerned citizens,
Do you want to let them down.

 

[OliJ]

I will admit when I first saw this when you posted it I thought it looked completely garish, however, it's really grown on me. Major respect for having the balls to go for it.

 

[Bristle Hound]

You managed to get the Hulk detailed yet then Chall's?

 

[CraigI]

I thought it was an awful colour when I first saw it, adding gold wheels would make it look much worse though.

 

[The Challinor]

It's been washed but not DA sealed it yet, will get done soon though before the bad weather hit

 

[lee_fr200]

Anymore pics of the hulk mate

 

[Addict]

saw a rather nice exclusive green at Birmingham Audi today!

Took a pic but as was on the way to swap out a broken iphone 6 I lost the piccy unfortunately

It was like a lizard green metallic colour, a little like the colour you used to be able to get the Porsche 911 in back in the 80s.. looks rather good!

Saw one of these today at Birmingham Audi.. an aquired taste clearly but looked rather good!

You didn't say you were working for Crewe Audi, what deal can you do for this S3 then?

Although the viper green is nice, personally, the Java has a little more x factor especially with the black grill.

+1

Cheapens the car's looks IMO, put some flame decals along with the gold wheels and it would be right at home on a Fast & Furious set. Unique doesn't always = good but the OP seems very happy with the color which I suppose is all that really matters.
