Oh yes! This deserves a new thread.

That looks absolutely awesome!
I think the RS Q3 Sportback looks amazing. Definitely think that would be a great buy, although I'm sure the price will be eye watering!
How you getting on with your repairs ?? .Sad to say my wife has had an accident in the car the other day and the car is currently sat on the drive maimed!! Waiting for it to be recovered and repaired now. Gutted but glad my wife and daughter were okay!!
Still waiting on it chap! Not heard much this week. Itching to get it back now though.How you getting on with your repairs ?? .
Most of front end will need replacing yes.was there much damage ?
Sounds like a fairly big accident then, hope it comes back all well and goodMost of front end will need replacing yes.
Yeah it is and it isn’t if you know what I mean. Doesn’t look too bad on first view but there are a fair few bits that need repairing and replacing. Or bust all the radiator/intercooler. Crumpled the front of the bonnet lid. Cracked all grilles and inserts and moved the front bumper out a line.Sounds like a fairly big accident then, hope it comes back all well and good
It's on the bottom of the tailgate in the middle. She was in a Peugeot 106
They ended up putting on a new tailgate and bumper!
Tailgate originally was down for repair but after accessing it from behind they couldn't get in to push it out so yeah it had to be replaced. I told them I didn't want filler everywhere.I know you want your car back to perfect, but I’m afraid your repairer was taking the p!ss by fitting a new tailgate and bumper....it’s no wonder our insurance premiums keep going up!!
What did you say you were having done again!?Get my aftermarket exhaust 23rd this month, Pics to follow,

Oh yes! I’m intrigued as to how it will look and even more so, how it sounds. Did they say it will make much of a difference to noise?remove large backbox and
rear pipe, fit smaller backbox and 2 rear pipes,
Cosmic, I was going to buy a RSQ3 a year ago but the one back pipe put me off, So I bought a AMG merc, Glad really because this time looking for a car I found my RSQ3 performance, Did a bit of googling Re the one exit pipe, Found a trusted firm to do the job, Bought the car, Love it, And for me 2 rear exit pipes will make it more balanced, Totally each to there own, Both pipes will be 6 1\2" So bigger than the one on now , And to ME it will look and sound better, Im keeping the valve, Looking forward to getting it done. Then the brake pads as yours.
Yes a little loader, That's all I want.Oh yes! I’m intrigued as to how it will look and even more so, how it sounds. Did they say it will make much of a difference to noise?
I just want mine sounding like an RS3 with the sports exhaust!Yes a little loader, That's all I want.

I think those Cete valve controllers are very pricey for what you actually get.Get a Cete AVC...all your lovely audible driving soundtrack desires answered instantly....the 5 cylinder howl in town brings out the child in me I'm afraid.
two exit pipes would be good if they were pushed to the absolute corners of rear apron like all the other RS vehicles - on an RSQ3 they are too close together so just ends up looking weird...IMHO...which of course counts for nothing
Have a look here as an example...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-RSQ...t-Conversion-Fitting-Birmingham-/113742391768
As Cosmicblue has done, EBC Redpads, about £200 for fronts, plus fitting.What pads are you going for?
Good thing about them, You can remove and sell, If wanted, Good to have the extra noise at a push of a button. I just want 2 pipes, otherwise Id buy one.I think those Cete valve controllers are very pricey for what you actually get.

Definitely need to do this too!! Is it better to go for the red stuff pads or yellow? My discs have a slight lip too and I’m sure they’ll be perfect with some new pads like the EBC ones!Good man, absolute no brainer on an RSQ3 when the standard discs have a 2mm wear limit (so 1mm of each face) and they are around £500 a pair, add the lack of wear (just polishes - see pics above, fitted at 15k miles, the disc already had a lip), noticeably increased brake performance and low dust once bedded in - not much not to like.
There is that but it doesn’t make a difference to the decibels and sound if you know what I mean. It needs changing and opening up more with aftermarket bits if you ask me!!Good thing about them, You can remove and sell, If wanted, Good to have the extra noise at a push of a button.
