    Congrats :D they have said a limited run of 500 RHD cars but it probably means nothing :). I've had no other confirmation although I'm in the same position as you as I don't really want it till a fair bit later :) Still excited though!

    hmmm. Not sure where you got the 10% from or is it just a sort of normal thing? I've paid £500 to Perth Audi and they've ordered me a car, we are waiting on getting a confirmation from Audi so nothing's in stone. Theoretically if you're in good enough books with your Audi dealership there's no...

    Ah I was talking about alignment, sorry :). Lowering a car in that way and forgetting to get a really good geo done could be much more expensive in tyre wear :)

    Wow who needs spell checkers eh? What the hell is wrong with you? Ease up internet spelling police, perhaps you need to wind your neck in a little and get back on topic?

    S3 AMI + RNS E Retrofit cabling help needed

    Hi, I've bought an AMI and an RNS-E Mk2 to fit in to my 8P S3. I'm comfortable with the coding and installing the RNS-E but struggling with the loom between the AMI and the RNS as apparently there isn't one for the 8P A3 so I've been given one from the A4 and have to splice the cables somehow...

    UK Tyres Online Cheap Car Tyres Shop | Blackboots Wheels in Motion Or DMS will be excellent for you imo :) I've had only good reports about both. I do doubt Audi will do a good job ;) I've only had bad experiences with dealers on servicing with the exception of Perth Audi who are pretty good...

    No question that Audi were taking the mick here but be very careful who you get your alignment done at, best get it done by someone who understands it and calibrates their kit frequently. I know a few folks round the country who do it. The wear on your tyre is almost certainly excess camber, the...

    The wheels have a bit of the JDM bonkersness that I loved so much on the Civic FD2R I owned on the wheels, although I think I'd just have preferred a stripe, I guess I can always paint it black if I hate it. It's perhaps a mistake but I'll need a set of wheels to handle the winter tyres so I...

    Got a shout from my dealer today, because of the number of speculators and the small number of cars available the dealers are having to process genuine orders, so I had to spec mine today despite not wanting it till very late this year (need to get the most out of my S3 :) ). Audi also asked for...

    Buying a car as an investment of any kind is a little bit crazy :) you may be able to sell the slot on to someone for a little more than you paid and I believe the residuals will hold up fairly well, so after 3 years you may retain 60% but I wouldn't think for one second. But once you have the...

    Probably, I don't think I read enough of the thread, I got emailed something I "wasn't supposed to see" and it is effectively what's already been said here with some promo images. I do know that I was the 8th person at my dealership to place a deposit, which means that the delivery slots on...

    The different wheels pictured above are because I suspect they have wider front tyres than rear ones presumably this is to deal with the S3s tendency to understeer, a welcome change.

    Okay, I have a little insider info but nothing to get wet over. The Audi website has more info than before Colours are White Black Red and two shades of grey, no sprint blue :(. RNS-E, Bluetooth, AMI, Reverse sensors standard. Weight is 1500-1600 Kg so much the same as before, 4 pot brakes...
