Don't think anything has changed in that department between FL and PFL ?
It's £2000 on a hatch, lot a dosh if your adding pano roof and technology package etc.....won't add much value l would think on the residual price, the saloon has it standard or it use to,not paid too much attention to the spec of the facelift car to be honest
19" and magride combo was the cherry on the cake for me mate! And I totally ignored the reasoning about resale value ;-)
@Steve J Boyd Your car looks awesome mate!
What tyre brand do you have on it? How's the rim protection on them?
Yea it was a £2,000 extra with the wheels... but it is a company car so i'm not fussed one bit about the residual value..
I've gone for the Pano roof, Advanced Tech Pack with virt cockpit, Audi Parking System Plus.. in Glacier White.

Love the 19" wheel options but I couldn't even afford S-Tronic

thanks mate ....far better than i imagined and to date haven't seen another car with em
lol I know. It's going to be fine. Too much waiting... ;-)
Did you go for the A4 alloys? They should really add a extra bit of difference to the FL... You've made the right choice
These ones.
Which look great on the car! (I think)
Too much waiting! Too much time to revisit the options ad nauseam lol
They do look good, but I was put off them because I don't want to sacrifice ride comfort (already have mag-ride) and because when I put my order in they were a £2500 option. By the time they'd dropped to £900ish my order was already gathering dust.
If they did them in 18" then I might be tempted to go for them, but to be honest the standard wheels are nice enough, and there's only so many options you can tick before you get to the point where you'd be better off buying a different car.

Initially I spec'ed the other 19" which were £1,100 (No way I'd spend £2.5K on these babies!!) then out of the blue the 19" wheels pricing went down to £850 (the ones I spec'ed) and £950 for these ones so I got on the phone to my dealer and asked to change asap and adjust the price accordingly. It was just days or even hours before the order was locked!
Not many cars on the market or from other brands I like or shall I rather say that fit my use case (need it to be confortable for my daughter at the back and be able to fit a road or mountain bike inside) so going up would be RS3 (not available in FL yet), S5 Sportback (not available yet - new one) or S7/RS7 Sportback. S7/RS7 being out of reach (even my particularly elaborate man maths can't do it!) and I wouldn't get a RS3 or S5 without the latest tech inside so the FL S3 is the perfect choice at the moment
Yeah you @Rob2k68 and @jassyo06 mentionned this here (http://www.audi-sport.net/xf/thread...head-of-the-curve.268369/page-51#post-2761978) and are one of the reason I went for 19" with Magride (I had spec'ed 18" + Magride initially).
Yep talking from experience Speedy, here's a couple of pics of mine as delivered mag ride and 18s the wheels look lost in the arches :-
Aye ok ya forum Anorak lol pity you didn't take me advice on the stunning Matt Aluminium roof rails ya leaf jumper lol
My anorak's bit too warm with this weather down here! lol
I do take advice on this forum seriously mind you (well not all of it of course but at least I consider it) and I also use Search lol
The next 5 weeks l'll fly in mate. And the next thing your collection day will just be a distant memory lol the week before pick is a bit iffy though lol
Yeah it's been a long wait from the moment I placed the order on the 20th of June... And seeing these Navarra Blue and Tango Red S3s being delivered doesn't help! lol
I'm with Speedy on the roof rails (or lack of), no need to make it look like a mini Avant (hides!!).
The only reason l wouldn't do roof rails again would be because my next car would be a tt lol MANDATORY ON A SPORTBACK lolI'm with Speedy on the roof rails (or lack of), no need to make it look like a mini Avant (hides!!).

I am 200% sure....Your car will Blow the rest right oot the water....mate.....not seen anything yet that's floating my boat ....
Got to balance aesthetics against awful road conditions and the plethora of speedhumps around here I'm afraid. I've currently got an S3 on 18's with mag ride, and really, it looks just fine. The problem with lowering to the extent that makes it aesthetically worthwhile is that it reduces the ability to cope with 'real' roads, and it makes it looks a bit boy-racer, speaking of which;
Have things like this ever been seen in the arena of serious motorsports?
Pads sporting a Willans, Sparco, Schroth, Luke or Recaro logo would at least have more credibility, but Ripspeed? This is 'The Gap' of aftermarket accessories, and they're hardly befitting of a premium German sports hatch. Sorry, but these are £8 worth of Barry tat that belong in a shagged out be-spoilered 1.2 litre Corsa. Their principle use being somewhere to hide the owners herbal stash when he's pulled by the fuzz for doing umpteen handbrake turns in a municipal car park (again), or getting ticketed for trying to put his valves through his bonnet on his 18th lap of the local high street, cruising for 'honeyz' who he think might be moistened by his eardrum shattering combination of 3kW of grime music and a poorly fitted spud cannon exhaust.
Of course, that's just my opinion...
