Cheers that's a good idea. A lot less expensive!!There were always people on the VWROC forum that dabbled in photoshop, sure there will be one or two on here that can pull together something for you. Multispoke and bright silver for sure!
Congrats on the car mate! looks incredible and the lunar will suit the alu trim well...cant persuade me out of black styling though im afraid.So finally, here are some photos of my car under popular request. The car hasn't been prepped, the process you see unfold in the photos is the reveal today, move onto a transporter and transportation to Reep Midlands for PPF. The car is at Reep Midlands for a whole week, 7 sleeps :-( I will be going up for the long drive back to South Wales :-D The car will spend one evening in my garage, after that it will be off to the local detailer for ceramic coating for 4 days. One day, it will be mine to freely use.. haha. It's the strangest thing, picking up a car but not having it.. it doesn't help my disbelief that I own it. Apologies for the terrible blurring of the plate but it has been done quickly on my iPad, to satisfy you eager Mica Pup fans.
The colour is unbelievable, we had a right old adventure following it. They didn't expect us to follow, not knowing me! So we had to go and collect a Skoda from a dealer, transport the Skoda to Coventry and finally onwards to Leicester! We even had to have the drivers break, to suit his driving times... so funny, to his disbelief I was doing it. Every time I looked up, I couldn't help but smile and the way it looked from one angle to the next, it's never the same. The covers still haven't been off of the Lunar seats in the front, that will happen when my local detailer gets it.
So far I've done 0.3 miles in it, I've had the pleasure of moving it 3 times from parking spot to parking spot..It will be worth the wait! The car sounds incredible, so happy.
This last picture is very blurry because of a heavy zoom, but the car looked so aggressive as I got in the car to drive away.. can't wait to see it again, that colour!!!

see you at next AITP
Gotta admit, it does work well with the mica blue, black styling would have blended in too much?Thank you
Hmmmmmmm, Aluminium for life

Same as mine mpg wise. 37k though :-/Over 8k miles on the trip computer now and showing exactly 26mpg. I'm happy with that!
So I am 99% now to changing my order colour from Nardo to Ara blue - I love Blue - I think Ara is too light but its a compromise.
Any thoughts? also this brings the aluminum v black pack discussion back up.

What wheels you going for?
Compare to your hearts content...
First one is a bad example of how Ara looks.

Black styling pack for surelove it
Yes mate, the very man.....you won't be disappointed, I can assure youMJM Detailing in Falkirk? Michael sent me these before I sent him my S3 Saloon which is in there at present. Collect it from him tomorrow.
Standard - I don't feel the need for the wider fronts.
In those examples the black pack looks better - but in my photo from the video alu looks stunning - and on @AudiNutta car it does too.
Id love a darker blue but not at that price!

He good? Collecting mine from Stirling and looked in to TLC Detailing but there customer service was shocking, and unsure of anyone in Edinburgh. Parents from Falkirk so be easy for me. Long way of right enough, March
Have heard of them, just with me living in Edinburgh it’s a bit far to travel. Heard of people having detailers visit the garage and detailing on site a day or two before collection...maybe something to look in to.Reep Scotland?
Near Glasgow?

That looks so good to me.
Reep is closest to be too but they only offer Gtechnic and Michael from MJM offers Gyeon. He'll be the first to tell you that he isn't all about clinical white tiles that are reflecting to the nines and that his work area is quite messy but he is good at what he does and I've been very impressed with him thus far, he is fair fair with his prices too. He recoated my wheels for me after I made an **** of it, protected by hubs and coated all my side windows and rear only for £80.
I will be taking some photos on collection tomorrow but you'll probably have to head over to the S3 forum to see them as I'm sure us peasant S3 owners are not welcome here
That's the same video and exact shot that helped me decide Ara blue with the aluminium styling was the way to go, just makes the car more distinct compared to black which looks somewhat ordinary to my eyes. However, do like the black window trims and am waiting for a quote from my dealer to see how much it would be to change over (not a fan of wraps, even for a small area as the trim).
@AudiNutta, I remember seeing the comment you posted in the below video showcasing a PFL RS3 in Ara blue which at the time was an exclusive colour and how you emphasised this would be your preferred choice of colour (more so than Sepang, that being the closest colour to Racing Mica) with "I WILL have my RS3 in this colour when I order one in a year’s time". What made you change your mind about Ara? Just curious.

That's one of the hardest things when you get a new car, park it. Now that my car is 5 years old, I can park it anywhere without suffering for it but man, that will change when my RS3 arrives...Well, at least we share the exact seats, alu trim and wheels.
I'll concede the Mica Blue trumps my Mythos.
Remember the 3 main rules:
- Don't park at supermarkets
- Park 1 yard away from curves
- Stay inside the car at all times - quite difficult that one
Be careful or you will be like those people that leave the plastic on their new sofa. For information Ive been known to circle car parks several times before selecting a space or just giving up going home and swapping cars.That's one of the hardest things when you get a new car, park it.

Here's some Voodoo blue with black pack for you guys.
If you are going ara blue IMO you can save some cash and not have the black pack or alu pack.
With ara being a lighter blue (than say mica) I think just the front grill surround is enough.
Adding in the splitter in alu is not required IMO with ara.
Just a thought.
Yeah seen this car before mate, this guy had this car before l even ordered my car...... Must have been a in stock model as hes down in the southern hemisphere, coloured door mirrors yuk and not a fan of the black lip rear spoiler
And most of all voodoo really looks **** under led lights
I think there not the most photogenic alloys to honest mate but mighty expensive put the R on any Audi car..... Add at least 30% on top of a S model for the same qualityI’m still not sure how I feel about the RS3 saloon alloys either.
They just don’t look Audi & feel more Kia ?

I REALLY like the alloys on your car - they would be my #1 choice.
A really nice design.
The Kia esque alloys on the RS3 'sedan' are very alien to Audi's usual looks & styles.
At the same time I do concur that the rotors have been done to death now - having been out for what must be knocking on a decade !
