Car mats

The RS mats are a dealer accessory, not included from factory on any manufacturer option, as I was told, and had to buy them.

Yes, as an accessory, put into the car on delivery. Obviously with the standard all black mats still there.
You mean the same ones that come with the regular A3 with no print at all? You'd think the RS specific mats would be standard, ridiculously stingy of Audi not to include them!

Exactly. The black velour standard mats.

The RS mats are a paid accessory.

I didn’t get those. The dealer sold me A3 badged rubber mats and “RS” branded velour mats.
 
So he asked you to pay for rubber mats that are for A3? Nicely done...
 
The rubber mats were priced at £0 as an FoC, the "RS" velour mats were a real price.

Do you have a part # for the rubber "RS3" mats? Thanks.

Sadly the genuine Audi Rs3 rubber mats are only available in left hand drive version in Germany.

So I bought a pair from eBay, then went about inlaying the logo to my own right hand drive A3 rubber mats..

They must have be convincing, as when I took car into Audi for service. The service manager asked where I got them from..?

Ok, weird logic from Audi then. Like as there seem to be "premium" velour mats for A3 too, with the A3 print - but not for the MHEV vehicles, even though majority of the basic cars are those! The mat is slightly different, I happen to know because when I bought the rubber mats for my car, the dealer gave me the wrong ones first. Can't blame them much, there was one letter more in the middle of the part number.
 
It’s the same story with the footrest pedal cover… Us in the UK don’t get them strangely… So I fashioned one myself from a Audi Q7
