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

How come you had to have the grille wrapped and painted?
The guy couldn't wrap all of it so he wrapped the surround and the chrome slats which can be detached the back part was sprayed if that makes sense. It does look quite fiddly to wrap to be honest but has come out really good so I am happy

Absolutely love your car and for some reason your reg too. Really taking to Nardo too. I wanted to go for the BE exterior look but as the car is on PCP I can't get the grill painted :'(

thanks! my nick name is selv but funnily enough have had a few s3's so been a good plate in 2 ways. Im sure a black grill will be available from audi parts soon or one will pop up on ebay in the not too long future.

Is the S-line exterior pack standard in the UK delivered cars? It looks like all the cars are either S3's or has that included.
Here in Finland those are so expensive after the car tax that almost none take them.
I changed the seat trims from red to blue.
My Tango Red build week is 10 and delivery possibly 14 or 15.

Summer wheel will be this:

nice choice mate, they're one of my favourite audi alloys
 
Hi mate,
its not nardo its nano. Its darker than nardo but still has a nice glossy look too it


ah right, yeah it has that similar wet look but darker, very nice choice, first time I've seen it properly.

Really suits it mate

First time I've seen these lights under the door inlays. Are they standard with the S Line interior lighting pack? Or is it just with the S3? Don't see an option to upgrade? They are very nice!

Thanks Spurrellian. Always thought that was a lighter finish inlay rather than actual lights (big red face). Kind of regret not ordering this now...
 
Thanks much appreciated

They is awesome aswell :) I spec'd them on mine last inute and they really set the interior off nicely with the B&O lights... It's like Blackpool illuminations in my car at night :)

Picked up my FL S3 yesterday and am very pleased with her ('chuffed' as you UK lads would say ;) ) Had a few contrasting drives that afternoon/evening: peak hour crawl in 40 degree heat to home (a/c good, stop start no issues, s-tronic smooth as silk), then a late evening blast through some local country roads where the Matrix LED's worked a treat (fascinating when you see the Matrix beams automatically adjust their spread to on-coming traffic), again S-stronic fabulous with lovely pops/farts on upshift and a lovely deep exhaust note. Handling is spot on, the S3 hugs the road and with magnetic ride and 18's is well sorted and composed even in dynamic mode. Loved the interior LED's and the Virtual Cockpit is stunning (std in Oz). Coming from an Mk7 R this is a huge step up all round Here's a few snaps (with the Aussie "euro plates" fitted):

Gave my facelift a facelift today. Loved the black pack on my navarra but wanted silver mirror caps which I think set the car off nicely now.

Is that wrapped pal?
 
The car or the mirrors? The car no, it's navarra blue. The mirrors were off of ebay

are the recycled bags a good way of getting around the new road tax, eco friendly and all?

It's a whopping 5p a sheet for the standard stuff but for a quality finish go for the BFL (or Bag For Life) grade :tongueclosed:
