Oh right. Not sure how they're artificial looking, just taken on a DSLR and lit with an LED torch because it was dark. But if artificial suits you...:smiley:

Few from when I cleaned it last week, sadly the sun never seems to make an appearance when it's clean - it's lovely out there today but as I have to work there's no chance of it being cleaned today!

They do fill the arches well! Plus you know what they say about big wheels… big tyres lol

I'd probably agreee, as much as I love Ara it does look best on the Sportback and I'm not being biased.

You've chopped the front off !!!

Haha, that car is actually the sales manager's S3 Cabriolet. Bit annoyed that the car doesn't have Audi Beam even though I asked about it prior and they said it should since it's standard. Already saw a thread about people not getting it too. It also doesn't have a subwoofer setting even though it has B&O and Tech Pack Advanced.

Surprised at the lack of subwoofer setting, I picked mine up in March and it has it. I know there's some of the 'older' ones that don't so would have thought the latest built ones would have it going from mine.

Well as you see in the picture, mine is a 66 plate registered in November 2016, so its one of the older ones. Still sounds good and got as much bass as my 8P A3 Bose had but I'm sure with subwoofer controls it would be better. I know the PFL S3 I test drove had it and was better. Do you know if you can update the MMI software yourself?

Wouldn't have thought so tbh.
 
Just checked and my MMI version is 0679. There is an option to do a system update through the internet, SD card or USB but haven't tried it yet.

Collection day today at Southampton Audi after a 3 month wait. was originally told it would be a 5 month wait and was actually delivered after 2!!
Southampton Audi were generally very helpful throughout, got bottle of champers and a couple of Audi umbrellas plus a tank of fuel.
Aspect Valeting did a stage 2 correction and ceramic coating which looks great, it was pi@$ing it down when i collected unfortunately so its filthy already.
Went black on black which i know people think its a little boring but actually seem to be more greys and blues on here than anything else. My wife has a blacked out A3 so we are going for a his and hers look ;) plus I visit customers a lot so can't be too flashy!

I really like the FL S3 in black. But my 8P was black and I always said, "I'm not having another black car" so went for Daytona, as it's always a colour I've loved. But every time I see a black S3, I always think, "should I have got black?"

Thanks, funny thing is I actually wanted Daytona but now I'm more than happy with Black. Black does look better in person than it does in pictures. I love the way the chrome stands out as well as the red brakes. The metallic flakes look great in sunlight. Drove it around town today and it seemed to get some attention.

Neither as it happens :tearsofjoy: no idea why they numbered the spaces the way they have!

@Tom.H Where did you get your plates done and do they have a website? Love them.

They're from Hills Number Plates Sam, I had the guy deal with Audi as they supply the dealership I bought from (Jardine Motors) so they were fitted for collection day. May be worth emailing them to see if there's any suppliers in your area.

He won't be happy with your tight parking:openmouth::tearsofjoy:
It was the only space around. I figured we'd both be happier tighter together than tight against another car! Drivers side was the other side too

No 'artificial looking' photos as it's been referred to before and one off my iPhone instead of the DSLR.
