    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    Yes I did go for a black edition (the only option IMO) with red brake callipers and privacy glass looks lovely! The stock wheels (I’m assuming) are the 18’’ latest more angular iteration of the rotors with magnesium effect. Eventually I want to go gloss black on the alloys as was the option for...

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    @Leevr is your guy - look at the pics of his green S3 and one of his mods are the knee pads you mention. I’m sure hell have the info on those

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    Thanks for the view mate - it sounds like we are on a same journey as I took delivery on Monday and very much hope my next car will be an RS3. I’m heartened by the fact they replaced the clutch before I collected it, and so there will be much fuss made if there’s an issue in the next couple of...

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    Amazing car! The S3 badge and Audi Rings look stunning! Tomorrow is confirmation drive and (hopefully) collection day... now I just need a reliable body shop to undertake the mods because if I try it will certainly go wrong!!!

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    :sign pics: ?? That's quite the list! I have quite a way to go, and the cosmetic tweaks and exhaust work sound very appealing as a place to start!

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    Thanks for the info. I may well look back on this point and berate myself for ignoring your advice, but I think I'm going to roll the dice. Might investigate if the Golf R also has the GTi 'box - I wonder if there's a similar issue/how common an occurrence it might be... So it sounds like...

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    Thanks for the head's up. I had made my peace with this being my last manual, but wasn't tracking engrained problems with it on the S3. In your experience, was this due to neglect by a previous owner or particularly hard use at all? At sub 30k miles I'm hoping the clutch feels good on the...

    Facelift Reserved S3 8V FL Sportback '17 Man - Keen to tweak cosmetics and hear views on 'must do' upgrades

    Having been on this site for a while, and narrowly missing out on an 8P RS3, I thought it best to re-engage having taken the decision to reserve a manual S3 last week (please don't tell my wife!). I wanted to have a play with the S3's understated exterior, but Google results seems more miss...

    8v RS3 Spotters Thread

    Firstly, congratulations on ordering the RS3, I've postponed my decision for financial reasons but cannot find a competitor I'm content with, so RS3 will happen (hopefully next year!). Secondly, I'll caveat this (rather obviously) with the statement that it is all just my humble opinion...

    8.5 Rotor alloys Titanium

    Having driven both with and without on the 8V RS3 I was easily swayed that slower ride speed comfort was improved over poor road surfaces. My mind was swayed by the need to have 'that' exhaust though!!

    Secondary cats removed

    There are people out there far more knowledgable about this than me, however my understanding is that the engine produces a said amount of BHP and a certain quantity is lost through transmission etc before it gets to the front/rear/all wheels. One common and minor mistake is that people quote...

    RS3 and Tuning possibilities

    Also quoting PS and BHP as same figures... school-boy errors replicated throughout the motoring press!!

    What discount did you secure for the order?

    Thankfully in the uk it's illegal to offer two different prices dependant on how you pay for it - unless you're talking incentives like deposit contribution. (Not for the RS3 for a while yet - if ever!) I've negotiated a healthy discount but may have built the ideal car just out of reach...

    Any news on the Buckets?

    Yeah it's a bit like the carbon inserts, released eventually... worth the wait!!!

    Oooh they are nice - didn't make the Oz connection!!!

    Any news on the Buckets?

    Are you not getting confused with super sport seats being called buckets on the order sheet? As far as I am aware they aren't appearing as options yet as their release isn't confirmed?

    Great introductory model has made my mind up...!

    So the 'rogue' option!!
