Ditto....."Demi"....Ghost Silver....lol....Maybeez Audi should pick up on me new name for it....LOL
Had not seen an S3 saloon in Floret in the flesh before today (I always take bit of a punt on colours) and think I might have struck gold , well silver, with this one, I think I am going to like it better than Sepang on the SB
Not played with mag ride or any other settings yet, just busy visiting my dad an picking my son up for from the airport today. Think the tyres are a little under pressure but was one particularly crashy piece of road and the car seemed to handle it better than a standard SB. Will give a more considered opinion after I have got the car set up as I want tomorrow and then driving up north to Darlington Sunday so will have a good 250 mile trip from London on the A1M to give it a good run out.
On subject of tyres mine come with Pirellis, not sure which ones exactly as not looked that closely, but did notice they have a good amount of rim protection, so hopefully less refurbs than the 18's on other S3's
Should look even better when I get round to polishing her up, PDI was typical Audi ok but not great, they even manged to put a 5cm scratch in the font number plate which needed replacing before I left the dealers, at least the interior light pack was there this time...

You know what they say Matt, good minds think alike lol
@Daveotto - Loving your new S3 saloon buddy
Floret with chrome looks very nice indeedy
Congrats !

Floret is a bit of a neutral colour imo (I have it) but what it does do well is highlight the angles and shapes - of which there are many on your S3. For that reason I think it works well.
Looks great mate, even more 'Q' car looking as the mirrors match the paint. Not many silver ones around either Added bonus is it's probably one of the easiest colours to look after

Wow stunning - I'm not a fan of silver cars per se but damn that looks good - as jassyo06 says - looks like it's made some one piece of metal
I always felt Mercedes cornered the market on silver saloons but I think Audi just out did them with that S3!

Corrected a few PDI errors and gave it a quick coat of AG high gloss protection and Sonax detailer to finish it all off, then finally got a bit of sun
After playing around for an hour got to these settings for a good all round performance with 42 psi on fronts and 40 on the rear but will use dynamic on mag ride suspension for twisty turny country road fun. Mag ride appears to be much better than standard springs on S3 SB 18's but will be a better test on the 250 mile trip up north tomorrow
Lovely looking car,Dave. No argument about that whatsoever.
Looking fantastic Dave, congrats!
Mine came with Pirelli P Zero's and say the rim protection is great, best I've had on a car, but then I never choose Pirelli normally.
I need to check mine for that net thing in the centre arm rest. I think I've not seen it as it's on my side....... or maybe I just haven't looke that hard lol

Same seemed to happen when moving from the 8P to 8V but a lot of those changes were as part of the big weight reduction as well as cost cutting. Was particularly noticeable on the circular air vents
Mine are also P Zeros.
On subject of netting, the boot luggage net has lost the pocket on the one I got this time, which I found pretty useful. luckily I had kept the old one
Yeah, I noticed mine differs from the wife's TT picked the same week as mine, hers has the pocket.
Probably no difference between 17/18 years, besides l like my 2 pocket boot net, so l'll keep mine's aswell lol
Curiosity got the better of me.
Defo got the net in the arm rest (news to me) and boot net has no pocket.
The other net I have is on the passenger side of the centre console.

cant really see on this picture but they do give great protection, and look very sleek....coated in carpro PEARL 1:1 here, no glossy tire shine for me!
