It is all just because of curiosity : ) If you enlarge both the UK and my car's grill you see a difference at the outside of the horizontal chrome parts. As reference I include this URL with the "original S3 grill which is the same as I have Audi S3 Sportback picture # 20 of 53, Front, MY 2014...

I enlarged the photo and it really looks like chrome. Also the horizontal part below the fog lights

Just saw this photo. What grill is this as it looks with these horizontal chrome parts a bit like the S3 grill ? Is it a part of a UK specced Luxury line or something like that ? :)

My garage did ;), Not joking, it is easy to swap the Pro Line S grill for a S3 one. S3 pedals just push and click and finally the shifters which was a different story. In fact I wanted the S3 shifters as I drove that car last summer but it was quite an experiment to have them fitted. They had to...

I thought I post some pictures of my new A3 Sportback 1.4 TFSI CoD Pro Line S in the exclusive color Night blue. Car is full option with additional S3 front grill, shifters and pedal set. Best options so far: supersport seats, Audi side assist and full LED :)

In the mean time I could extensively compare both the 1.8 TFSI and a 1.4 TFSI CoD. I was pleasantly surprised by the CoD engine. It was so much fun driving and in comparison with the 1.8 TFSI it felt less raw. Sure at top speed you will miss some power in the CoD but at the end it is for me...

I drove the 1.8 TFSI but wonder how the 1.4 TFSI COD compares as both cars have the same torque of 250 Nm. Anybody drove both cars ? Fuel consumption on the COD must be much better but what about sheer fun ? Thanks :)

Estoril is marvelous, yet I advise you to see the color live on some (other) Audi before ordering. IMHO pictures (read computer screens) do not give a realistic view of Estoril.

All I compare it to is the current S-line. Except for the grille, rear diffusor, 4 pipes and plastic mirror caps in matte chrome color, and optional S3 rims there isn't too much difference. That makes the s-line exterior package such great value. Nevertheless the S3 is a sheer example of less...

Bjorn and I have seen the same car: chrome definitely :) btw Estoril is a fascinating color. The influence of light is amazing !

My color will be Nacht Blau (night blue) it is a current A8 color and looks a bit like good old Ming blue

I think the monsoon grey with the S3 grill are a very good match. I was not fond of the mosoon car with the grey S3 rims: just too much grey which make the car IMHO too dull. I really prefer the all alloy silver S-line rims here :) I upped the steering wheel picture to show the S3 exclusive...

Here you go Audi S3 Monsoon grey, German specs car at the Dutch VAG importer Pon

I have these and can send them too you or post them here. Please let me know what is convenient :)

I am in the Netherlands but Daytona gray is a S-line exclusive color only. Yet you can always chose Daytona as part of the Audi exclusive paint program. Yet that will be expensive. Probably, most S-lines are world wide sold in Daytona and as I wanted a special paint I ordered Nacht Blau (night...
