I saw a black RS3 sportback with Alu pack and roof rails around 2.30pm Friday in Fulham near the river *parked badly* I might add.

I am not sure if it was standard black or panther but I actually thought it was an RS6 at first. Looked good.

I have yet to see a Ara blue with Alu saloon like mine will be when it arrives in a couple of months yet.
 
Does anyone know the size of the front and rear Audi rings for FL? I’m wanting to get black ones but don’t have my car yet to measure them. Or even better, have a link for them?

I know it’s not exactly in the right thread but didn’t want to make a whole new thread for just this and I know there will be loads of FL owners in here

This is not your answer . And I know little about it . But why wouldn't you use the originals take them off plastidip or wrap and then use them , from what I can see pre fl after Markets were of lower quality and slightly diff size than the originals.
I'm sure theirs an obvious answer and I look forward to being educated or at least told off for encouraging going off thread..

Well that is a option but it’s finding people to do it. But if I ordered some I’d have them before the car comes and then there is the time I’m driving around with none while I wait on the ones getting painted
 
Had it for over 2 months and gets used every day as it's a replacement for the company car, already have 1 garage ornament.
Gave it a quick wash yesterday, much easier to clean with CSL and EXO on it.
Pics post seemed short of pics :friendly wink:

@Enbarr and @Keithd32 I have an Ara RS3 saloon on order due for build in less than a month now.

Both your cars look stunning; mine will also be my car for work - not technically a company car - but used for work everyday.

In my opinion I’d rather be driving something which is a joy everyday than something boring and inane like most company cars!

You’ll love it pal, just the sense of occasion I get every time I drive it makes it worth having.

Mine’s not a company car, opted out as the income tax for a ‘free’ A3 tdi was getting daft.
Insured for class 1 business tho as I’ll be using it the same way.

I am certain that Ara looks better with the Matt Aluminium pack for contrast - I saw an Ara TTS earlier with black and it just looks strange to me.

Of course everyone is different but thats how I feel; glad I made that change to my saloon before it was locked.
 
Bit of a rip off tho, standard car is 75% the same so we’re paying 800 quid for a silver strip on each bumper.

Standard front bumper looked a little unfinished to me, that’s why I got it but still glad I did.

Well she finally arrived on the boat into Auckland on Sunday, at dealer Wednesday morning, with me Wednesday afternoon. Spent 1.5 days at the detailer getting Gyeon MOHS+ applied. Now safely back home today (Friday).

Super happy!

Now that’s strange! My car was parked there just 6 weeks ago brand new for photos, it feels like a lifetime ago! I can’t believe it was just last month.

Nice to see you got the plate backing off, great start.. I asked them to do this at PDI too. Mine is still off... just goes on for the rare long trip.

Yeah I’ll see how long I last without one. If I do get bother I’ll either get a trimmed one back on or get a sticker for under the light. Really not fancying putting it back on grille as it looks much better without.

Getting black badges ordered. Got it booked in for tints when I’m home and then need to sort out an intake before my remap at MRC in February.

Need to start looking for new wheels and MSS springs and an exhaust asap
 
Gimme a shout when you want the springs billy

My private plate will be back on soon with 6 characters, so I have a slightly shortened but legal plate which I will try and I might prefer it with that as I love my plate.

Somebody in the family is a police officer and I was nervous of his opinion but he said “It’s well worth a £30 fine, looks so much better”.. which made me laugh as he said it in front of my Mrs’, she hates it without. Shows how little they give fines out, it isn’t £30 anymore, it’s not even £60 now it’s a £100 fine.

I’m interested in an intake in the future for bolt on performance that can be removed without a trace. I’m also interested in the MSS spring set, once I see some feedback because I don’t want any scraping.
