Looks amazing Rob
The Audi.de site has made a massive improvement on their configurator views, puts ours to shame really.
Thanks.
I see we've ordered our RS3's within the same Dealer group - Harwoods Audi ;-)

On the red I think the aluminium pack looks good on the front. I just really think the aluminium effect around the diffuser and exhausts looks cheap. Just my opinion though.
I beg to differ. I think the Alu pack enhances the twin oval pipes....Imo
Rob, Will the tyre pressures show up on your dash with your optional valve caps?
Mines been allocate BW 17 2016 this morning -
Kayemill, looks like we've ordered the same colour scheme
I checked on the 'My Audi' website link and found out that the RS3 construction date would begin 9th November. I phoned my dealer (Coventry Audi) as they promised to match Bath Audi's September delivery quoted when I phoned around prior to placing my order. I asked my Sales Rep there why did he quote September delivery when he knew he couldn't honour it (I know he only wanted my order) I also asked if he could give me a courtesy car as I'm putting too many miles on my Abarth, again he woudn't do anything. I said I'd keep an eye on the build date to see if it came forward at all and also said I may have to cancel as I needed a new car quick (September as he had assured me) I couldn't believe it when he phoned me back about 10 minutes after our original phone call to say they had cancelled my order and were refunding my deposit! No reason was given - I suspect one of the sales guys there has a friend who wants one and they just gave them my build slot. My RS3 is still showing on the My Audi website but the spec has been changed (colour now black) literally an hour after my phone call with them. I told him I would never buy another Audi again - and I've had a few, including buying Audi's for my wife and staff. I phoned Mercedes over the weekend and will be placing a deposit on a facelift AMG 45. Mercedes have been a pleasure to deal with and I've bagged a discount and looking at an October delivery. I guess it may be a blessing in disguise as Coventry Audi (and Birmingham Audi in the past) have been awful to deal with - bunch of amateurs. So good luck with your orders guys but it's over and out for me I'm afraid...

Hi Ash, I've been reading about your problems on the (whisper it..) 'other forum' I had a big row with the dealer principal at Birmingham Audi last year and she slammed the phone down on me. I got an written apology from her and some new tyres for my RS3. I swore I'd never use them again and Listers advised me to use Coventry but to be honest they have been well out of order pulling a stroke like they have. I'd look for a non Listers Audi Dealer if you choose to go back (I never will) Halesowen and Wolverhampton were ok when I was looking for prices.
Take them on over the £500 owing - they've given you £1500 already so haven't really got a leg to stand on.
There's no point complaining as you said. I'm happy with my new order and look forward to it arriving.

T&Cs state cancellation needs to be given in writing, if you haven't or in this case they have not done this then it's breach of contract by the dealer. Sounds like they had another customer who wanted to beat the waiting list so spec amended & avoids them having any risk of you pulling out. (Not to say the other person won't if delivery times aren't met)
Get the balance of deposit back & just walk away.
On another topic look at the Listers RS3 review video, can't work out if its supposed to be funny or just badly done either way they portray an image of stupidity.
Exciting news, finally moved from "preparation" stage to "panel shop" this morning!!
Although, wasn't expecting it until next week (I.e. BW36) and when the factory re-opens.....?!?

WTF?!? I've moved from prep, to panel shop to paint shop in the space of 2 days!!
Mine too good to see they are smacking it about!!!WTF?!? I've moved from prep, to panel shop to paint shop in the space of 2 days!!
Yeah they re-opened on Monday according to my dealer. This would appear to be backed up by the progression on order tracking. Think I'll be first to take UK delivery of Mythos. Keen to see more pictures of the stealth look but there aren't too many about.factory back up and running a week early then?
I'm sorry for the constant updates peeps but I'm excited!!!
I'll stop now.......

They certainly are cracking on with it though, I wasn't expecting them to start on it until next week.
