Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

[MattSedg]

Black Pretoria's on Ibis White sedan, so much lighter than the OEM Audi wheels.

I spy swisstrax flooring
one day, when i get some kind of garage im gonna have that flooring...one day

 

[Tom.H]

How much were the Black prets and how did you change the badge to Audi?

I want to change my wheels and I loved the prets on my R - I think black would look good on my Navarra S3 Saloon...

Looks like a Wolfsburg badge which is the home of VW

 

[azibux1]

I take my comment back, I didn't spot the second pic with the Audi badge!

My guess is a gel overlay or similar

They are genuine Audi items, I am selling them on eBay as I sold my wheels. Have ordered an RS3 sedan.

Let me know if you want them and we can work out postage...

An attempt at putting some black prets on my Saloon. (Not photoshop but similar).

Does it look good? Do black prets work?

Its your car, so what other people think shouldn't effect your decision but as you've asked for opinions, Nope, its not a good look, you've paid for a premium car and the black wheels make it look, and Im sorry to say it, boy racer cheap.

Prets in graphite or silver would look much better IMO

 

[lekky]

@lekky your pics have reminded me about GB plates - need to have a word with the dealer and see if they can supply these from new to save me the bother of changing them later. Can't abide putting a sticker on the back.

Yeah mine came without in April. Just bought a pair of pressed embossed metal plates. Much nicer really add a lot for little cost. £14 on Amazon for mine iirc.

Titanium or silver on the dark blue car for me personally mate

Weird one.

Anyone with the facelift. Please can you post a picture of your key? LOL.

Original from audi shop cover in daytona grey

S3 sportback 2017 daytona

 

[Chris43]

As standard VW tag the key depending whether your have an R / GTi or GTD, you'd think Audi would do the same for the S cars at least.

 

[infernox]

I was expecting S3 logo on the key too so was surprised when I got the key that it's exactly the same as my old 8P A3's key. I think the material is different?

I love that key cover... But it seems pretty expensive for what it is? Where did you get it from?

 

[Jassyo06]

It's only a key ***..... That gets bashed about over time so l don't see the point of having a nice pretty one ,coz if it had you would obviously put a cover of some sort over the top of it, like most do with there pretty mobile phones

I notice on your signature you have ordered Audi interior design package - and your justification for this is....

I dislike all black leather seats/interiors too dark in my opinion and l don't like the plastic chrome embellishments on the dashboard air vents either,l have from day one on my existing car, the design pack is a rather expensive option for what it is but **** it got this car for 3 years or more

so its for cosmetic reasons.... (a bit like wanting your key to look nice)

No not like having your key looking nice, l don't chuck my red stitching in my pockets nor is my key in my direct /peripheral vision constantly as l drive the car.... Do I need to go any further mate.

Despite it only being a key, different things are important to different people. We're done !

Could be worse, we could have a Volvo key covered in leather like some of the older Aston Martin ones lol

 

[Mark_R]

Just get the advanced key and you never need to look or handle the key in public.

Wife picked up her retirement present this evening. It's a 1.5 tfsi s-line. I'll post further pics in a few days' time.

Here's another one of my wife's retirement present. It needs a good wash, which I'm itching to give it, as she's been driving round the highways and byways of Shropshire for the past week. If and when the sunny weather returns I'll post some pics with the roof down.

He walked right into that one! lol

Tell me about it, spent a few hours on mine earlier. Left for work an hour ago and it had been raining! Would be nice to be able to clean the car in 'summer' and it not get wet!

Some strange people on here to say the the least.... Key lovers.....

Now some on here forget it's just a A3! 6 years old design, so why give it a special key fob? comparing a cheap shell cover to a interior trim design is one the daftest things av read on here or should l have said...... Strangest.......

Www.shop.audi.be/nl/Sleutelbescherming/categorie-wagen-accessoire-belgie/991.2628

Yes too expensive. But I only bought it because It is in daytona grey and the original is so boring

It's the little things. If it was a bit cheaper it'd be a cool addition. Kind of like why we buy keyrings. Not everything is to everyone's tastes!

Washed it today at last. So here it is looking its best. Citrus pre-wash, snow foam, 2 bucket shampoo rounded off with aqua wax.

I thought you would have at least given us a few topless snaps.... Lol

Wife's still waiting for it to be warm enough to go topless!

Car looks really good.
Should come for a drive up here. It's warm enough to go "taps aff" lol
Now get weeding that driveway

 

[wideboybloke]

You're right about the driveway. It probably doesn't show on the photos, but there are some roots pushing through and I need to lift the stones, cut the roots out and re-lay the stones. The weeds will then come out as part of the process, but it's a real fag and it means a day on my knees and...and...

 

[wideboybloke]

Oh - and a touring holiday in your part of the world is definitely on the cards. I've been retired 3 years but herself has just retired so we suddenly have the option to holiday whenever we want! I can imagine nothing better than touring the Highlands in a convertible (when it isn't raining, of course).

3 years ago we toured Northern Ireland in my then new A3 sportback. Absolutely brilliant.
