Due to the peculiar surface those rails have, the wrap was impossible, tried it and it wont stick. So i did Plasti Dip job and i am happy. Of course need to pay attention on the treatment but its a quick, safe, economic and a neat solution for having rails only for aesthetics.

THANK YOU ALL for your precious feedback! I decided to go with PlastiDip. Plan to do the job this Saturday, and I will let you know how it went. I consider too much hassle to tear down half of the car for two f... rails. It’s not a question of money, I have already found OEM black rails, I just...

Hi All, I have my Roof rails on my 2019 RS3 SB in color matt aluminum look and i need to change them to black as I changed rims and the color now is matching with nothing and they look silly.. I would like to ask a couple of thing if anyone has ever been there / done that. - What is the real...

Hello All, do you know the possible reason why in the MMI Google Maps I cannot see the traffic data? (I have valid MMI and I can also see all other info like weather, POIs ect..). But when I switch (in Map settings) to Traffic view , i do not see traffic. (I have also enabled traffic and all in...

The solution to take another staggered setup so you can then have 2 square ones (or two staggered ones of course alternatively) is smart, i can buy that.. I was also thinking to go with aftermarket wheels (was near to the BBS FI-Rs with significant weight diff) but i am a stock lover and dont...

Appreciate your feedback! Just trying to do the devil's advocate although you have valid points, - True that they had decreased the weight by 26kgs, but even now with the RS3 Y, they still keep the staggered setup (and even wider due to the slightly wider body, to 265 with 9J /245 8J wheels)...

Thx Paulbean, but the typical (rhetorical) question is then why Audi applied this reversed-staggered setup of wheels (even with slightly different rim diameters that makes it harder to select a rim, leave apart the tyre), and not going for all square setup n all? they claim that they have good...

Hello all, I am looking for a new set of aftermarket lightweight rims I have a Sportback RS3 8V FL 2019, Front: 8.5Jx19 ET53 (255/30 R19 91Y XL) / Rear: 8.0Jx19 ET49 (235/35 R19 91Y XL) The majority of the lightweight ones (mainly forged alum) are starting from the 19 x 8.5J diameter. But as you...

Hello all, I am looking for a new set of rims and also about to change tyres and I am a bit puzzled... I have a (stock) Sportback RS3 8V FL 2019, Front: 8.5Jx19 ET53 (255/30 R19 91Y XL) / Rear: 8.0Jx19 ET49 (235/35 R19 91Y XL) Almost all aftermarket rims I like, (example the HF-5 from Vossen or...

Hello, I am also looking for a new set of rims and it's a real puzzle. I have a Sportback RS3 8V FL 2019, Front: 8.5Jx19 ET53 (255/30 R19 91Y) / Rear: 8.0Jx19 ET49 (235/35 R19 91Y) Almost all aftermarket rims I like, (example the HF-5 from Vossen), have offsets from 31 or less, to 45 ..not sure...

True, they will never bother to work on the MMI firmware and updates during services. But I'm still chickening out, i have car warranty until end of 2024.. better stay cool for now..

Thank God you informed promptly, i was about to do the tweak today and I would have had a heart attacks! I am even more reluctant now to try it , althoug I have already downloaded and put manually the patches into the SD-Mib-patches folder.. man, not sure its worth to do this only to get a next...

Thx! I have the SD ready with the maps, i just wanted to be sure that they will work (the ones from VW link, Mib1/2 ect) , once I will do the FEC update.

Hi, i have downloaded the 2022-23 maps from VW portal but unfortunately was not enough for my MMI to update them via the SD directly. Reason I guess is because I also get this message from myAudi app that i have exhausted the free attempts (and can only dld and stick with the 2021-22 older...
