RS3 8Y Picture Gallery Thread

[Keano04]

The more I see Tesla's the more I also think how incredibly bland they look.
Every model 3 looks pretty much identical and the colour choices are as bland as the looks.
Other than a company car 'tax dodge' I really don't see the appeal.
How anyone could sink their own money into one is beyond me.

Agreed. They are proper wide too.

I have zero interest in them - some of the other leccy vehicles are smart. My sister got a high spec glc fully electric this year (can’t recall what they actually call it but it’s based on the glc size suv thingy) and it’s lovely but I won’t be going electric just yet - hybrid/mild hybrid will be a consideration though for the wife’s next car (3er touring most likely).

Gave the girl a wash tonight to get rid of all the pollen it keeps collecting. Had to do it in a rush before the ominous clouds rolled over!

The guy whos cancelled order I picked up added the Autoglym kit and I'm pretty impressed with the products.

Just need some sunshine now to pick up all the shades/orange fleck you get with Kemora Grey.

It's not just a company car tax dodge (it's basically tax-free) there's a corporation tax dodge too. Don't get me wrong, the last thing I lust over os an electric car and even less so a Tesla but it's just not worth doing it!

Missing the Nardo Grey, but happy with the White, especially with it matching the bikes.

I was so tempted with this colour, but when I ordered they didn’t have any examples in the flesh I could look at. It seems to look very different in pictures. Looks amazing though In yours.

Thank you! I wasn't sure what to expect when ordering either, but super happy with how it looks now it's here!

There's another up with me in Nogaro blue as well, so you can add that one to the list.

The only similarity between nogaro and turbo is they are both shades of blue.

One's pearlescent the other is a flat paint

 

[A3simon]

You said nogaro looks so much like turbo. However they don’t at all.

[Jassyo06]

Not £2000 a difference seen both colours side by side very similar and very similar to the Voodoo blue S3 l had just my opinion and that's why l said l am glad l didn't go for Nogaro blue ....as its too similar l wanted something different that tone of blue has been done to death by other car manufacturers

Nice. Still loving the Kyalami colour?

There was literally a post with a list of colours before your post I replied to, thought it was a fairly obvious comment to be fair.

I must admit that a shade of green that bright is not normally my prefered colour for a car whatever the model but in this instance with those alloys and its a saloon too , it looks nice.

It's a sticker that I bought from mk-graphics on ebay. He'll do any size and colour, I messaged him to do mine in Green.

Do you happen to have the dimensions of yours ?

Do you happen to have the dimensions of yours ?

The length is 30cm, as for the height, if you measure the space you can decide how high you want. Hope this helps.

They do look nice but would need to get the sizes, as the bit at the bottom of the grill isn't that high.

I got a reply from them regarding size. It is 300 X 35mm. The length is ok but the height is to big for the space. The one in the advert is for a FL RS3 8V, they also do one for the PFL RS3.

I agree, I feel with the Turbo Blue, Kylami Green and Python Yellow it really cuts down the number of paint options any regular person would be willing to fork out extra for due to how similar they'd end up being to the standard options on offer. I guess a Merlin Purple or a Glut/Solar Orange type option would remain a good choice for someone looking for something different.

Hopefully mine's the first in Sepang.
