It doesn't sound like an easy task, or one that I would be trying myself mate :sweatsmile: the prices the main dealer wants for the rails are insane. £250+ each plus fitting when it would of cost £250 in total to add them to my vehicle when I was building it. Had I of known it was gonna be such a pain in the **** I would of ordered them there and then :unamused:

Not sure what colour to go for, chrome or black...

That's not insane, that's reasonable all considering. I'd dread to think of the cost of fitting though.

Black roof rails would suit your cars exterior better as it looks like a Black edition? Personally l love my black roof rails on my car wouldn't buy a sportback without them

Love the colour, suits the A3.
I'll be doing the roof rail retrofit too when I can find some black ones. Seen a few chrome but no black in the last three months of looking!

Looks lovely, haven't seen a Nano A3 BE before.

Personally i think the shape of the 8V has a unique look, and suits both with and without rails.

Mine however is without rails.. ;)

do love that grey, wanted a RS3 in that colour. Black roof rails would really suit it.

Lovely car, I have an S Line on order in Nano so im likely to biased.

I've only seen an A1 in Nano and that was on the dealers compound still in factory wrapping when I ordered so I took a bit of a risk but your pictures confirm ive made a good choice. Feel free to post many more pictures. There's a few used for sale but for reasons unknown the website seems to make all Audi greys look very similar.

Im not a lover of roof rails, remind me too much of old yank station wagons but thats just my view, reading above I seem to be in the minority so Ill say no more.

As a matter of interest how long did it take to get your car from ordering, 5 months seems to be the average and mine will be no quicker.

Yeah mine is a black edition mate. I was leaning towards chrome but everyone Ive asked has suggested black. Decisions decisions

That sounds about right, I waited 4 and abit months
 
Beautiful car - really love the nano. Re roof rails, wouldn't chrome look odd with black edition? I think the black roof rails add to the stealth look.

Does anyone know if the S3 grills would fit in the A3 front bumper?

Not sure, I haven't seen a nano black edition with chrome roof rails before. That was one of the reasons I was leaning towards chrome over black to be fair, though everyone I have spoken to has said black.

The colour is amazing! It looks different in different lights, so lighter in direct sunlight and darker when it is overcast for example. Lovely matt sort of look to it. Photos I have took dont really do it justice, planning to get some more up once we get some sun.
 
:sign welcome:
Nice car, Nano looking great.
Don't envy you with on-street parking with construction traffic and dust all around you :crying:

Tarted up the key the other day with an official Audi key cover/key ring

Where did you get them from and how much did they cost if you don’t mind me asking?
 
Nice car, better with the rails :)

Not seen this colour before until earlier when I saw an S3 sportback with it, looked really nice and shiny :)
