Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift RS3 8V In Here

Even now, Nardo still gets lots of good comments. I've lost count of the number of people who have commented on it.

I do love Nardo, but especially on rs4

There's also this blue one but its £2k more and got 3k miles, so worst value.

Definitely go for Riviera, not that I’m biased in any way

I think I'll stop posting these cars here until I get one because they get sold fast after I do. I enquired on that purple one a couple days ago and was working out finance, but it got sold yesterday.

Probably not a bad shout, but they do sell quickly anyway. Mate of mine looking for PFL, and often gone before he can even see them

Yeah but new ones are popping up just as fast though. Funny thing is the nogaro blue one was bought by another dealer who was selling it for £3k more than what it was at before, so it was back on autotrader 3-4 days after it was taken off. At that point it seemed like a rip off but someone bought it within a week. Annoying thing was that I sold myself on the purple one and now its gone, I really doubt there's another one around. Hopefully my original choice Floret Silver pops up. A new one today is £42k Nardo Grey RS3 Saloon, 17 plate with 14000 miles. Personally I think its too much miles for the price.

That is quite a few miles for the plate. Have you seen @penetrator is selling his Nardo...but a sport back

Took this the other day with the new iPhone XS. Not to turn this into an iPhone discussion, but actually pretty amazed at how good the camera is. Had to decrease filesize for this website but hopefully it's still fairly clear.

My loose plan is to change the badges for black ones and get some black wheels on it (possibly HRE FF01s if I can convince myself to spend however much they cost).

I know Catalunya Red is a bit of a controversial one but I honestly really adore this colour with the black styling.

Very nice mate

Thanks!

And as for Portrait mode, YES. I think the price Apple is asking for for these phones now is madness, but the camera being as good as it is has made it (slightly) more palatable.

It’s madness when you first see it... then what you think about it, look at the use you get out of a phone now... it’s never out of most people’s hands 24/7

I said the exact same thing to a colleague who commented on my £70 a month contract. I pointed out to him how much people pay for things that they rarely use. I use my phone for a solid 3 hours per day at least, for work and play, I watch TV on it, videos, music, everything. So actually, regardless of what they cost 5 years ago, it's still good value.

I'm only looking for a saloon I'm afraid, my last car was an A3 sportback and I've got an S3 sportback now so want something different. The car in question is nearly fully specced, missing pan roof but got ceramic brakes and carbon engine cover, 2 options I don't need.

Well in tests the iPhone XS/XS Max are now the 2nd best phone camera, the best is still the google pixel 2. Pixel 3 is just around the corner too. Catalunya Red looks great in that picture though. There were quite a few of them around when I started looking for RS3 Saloons so it seems they aren't popular.
 
Only seen one or two Catalunya reds before, only at shows and never on the road.. Really like the colour tho, v nice :)

Have had my iPhone 6s 128GB for 2+ years, and will probably get £200 odd for it on fleabay, so offsets the cost. As I have work contract, went down the apple upgrade program route

fair enough mate, the saloon shape is VERY classy looking. Jeez, ceramic brakes and engine covers such expensive options. I can kind of understand the former if you do loads of track days etc, but the engine cover....!! Unless you concourse the car how often do you open bonnet. It does look good tho :icon thumright:

Thought about google pixel and samsungs, but just much prefer iphones. Previous camera was pretty good anyway, not a must having best camera.

Good luck with the search, keep us informed (if not revealing cars before you have sealed a deal)

CE18, are you local to Cardiff?
 
I did some searching for purple RS3 Saloons yesterday and I found another but I have a feeling its the same one as I originally found. So the original one didn't show its number plate so I can't confirm it but the other one I found does have it. I know it was an 18 plate with 150 miles. This one though has 2500 miles and the exact same spec. It's an older ad so it looks like the other garage bought it to sell themselves. The guy on the phone did seem a bit dodgy but I'm not sure you can put the miles back on these new cars. It might be the other way round and this garage just bought it and put miles on it.

I saw this for sale about a month back and then it disappeared, I presume it had been sold.

It's still on the garage's website so unless they haven't updated it for a month, they've either bought it from the other guys or theres 2 purple ones.

Wow so now theres a Floret Silver one I've found, 68 plate with everything I was looking for but it has 5,000 miles on it already and the price is way too high. £55k!! Highest priced RS3 pretty much.

Wow, that does sound high for 5k!!
That sounds like new price to me, and 5k, they are taking the proverbial, but does appear to be a captive market at the moment, as cannot order new
 
Quite a few cars come up today, so looking good for me. Nice glacier white RS3 there. The only thing I'd say is that the gold alloys seem out of place, everything else is black and white.

I have to say though, this is why I won't go for Nardo. In the sun the colour just looks horrible to me.
